FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
•
Designed Specifically to Work With
Current-Limited Wall Supplies
The bq2420x series are simple Li-Ion linear charge
management devices targeted at low-cost and space
limited charger applications. The bq2420x series offer

Ideal for Low Dropout Charger Design for
Single-Cell Li-Ion Packs With Coke or Graphite

integrated
powerFET,
high-accuracy
voltage
regulation, temperature monitoring, charge status,
and charge termination, in a single monolithic device.
•
•
Integrated PowerFET for 500 mA
Integrated Voltage Regulation With 0.5%
Accuracy
The bq2420x is designed to work with
a
current-limited wall-mount transformer and therefore
does not provide any current regulation. However,
these devices offer a fixed internal current limit to

prevent damage to the internal powerFET.
A
time-limited pre-conditioning phase is provided to
condition deeply discharged cells. Once the battery
reaches the charge voltage, the high accuracy
voltage regulation loop takes over and completes the
charge cycle. Charge is terminated based on
minimum current. An internal charge timer provides a
backup safety for charge termination.

Charge-in-Progress, Charge Completion, and
Fault Conditions
Other standard features include an automatic sleep
mode activated when VCC falls below the battery
voltage and a recharge feature activated when the
battery voltage falls below the VRCH threshold.
Optional Temperature Monitoring Before and
During Charge
Small, 8-Pin Power-Pad MSOP Package
In addition to the standard features, the core product
provides two additional enhancements: temperature
monitoring and status display. The temperature-
sense circuit continuously measures battery
temperature using an external thermistor and inhibits
charge until the battery temperature is within the
user-defined thresholds. The STAT pin indicates
three conditions of operation of the charger. These
conditions are charge-in-progress, charge complete,
and fault. This output can be used to drive an LED or
an interface to a microcontroller.
