GENERAL DEscriptION

The SGM41524A/SGM41524B is compact and efficient Lithium-ion or Lithium-ion polymer (Li+/polymer) battery charger. It can provide power and charge the single-cell battery of a system typically found in compact portable device. An internal switching buck converter regulates the supply input for charging the battery and powering the system even if the battery is absent. The converter can also operate as a simple pass-through switch with no switching if the load and input voltages are close.

A typical application circuit is shown in Figure 2. The SGM41524A/SGM41524B features resistor programmable constant-current and constant-voltage charging capability plus a charge limiting timer and operates in compliance with the BAJ/JEITA safety guide. An NTC (β = 3950K) can be used for battery temperature sensing on top of the internal junction temperature monitoring. The IND status output pin can be connected to LEDs to indicate the operating conditions, such as power input ok (POK), in charging (CHG), VIN over-voltage (POK and CHG alternate blinking) and no power/disabled (OFF). Voltage fold-back on the output is provided to power the system from the input while retaining battery charge and preventing overcharge. Input under-voltage regulation is implemented by reducing the load current such that VIN stays above a minimum when the source is weak. Similarly, the die temperature can be regulated and limited by reducing output power to avoid device or the circuit board being overheated.

These features simplify the system design and ensure safe and reliable operation as well as improved user experience.
