LP3947
USB/AC Adaptor, Single Cell Li-Ion Battery Charger IC
n Near-Depleted Battery Preconditioning
n Monitors Battery Temperature
The LP3947 is a complete charge management system that
n Built-In 5.6 hour timer
General Description
safely charges and maintains a Li-Ion battery from either
USB power source or AC adaptor. In USB mode, the LP3947
n Under Voltage and Over Voltage Lockout
n Charge Status Indicators
n Charge Current Monitor Analog Output
n LDO Mode Operation can source 1 Amp
n Continuous Over Current/Temperature Protection
supports charging in low power or high power mode. Alter-
natively, the LP3947 can take charge from AC adaptor. In
both USB and AC adaptor modes, charge current, battery
regulation voltage, and End of Charge (EOC) point can be
selected via I2C interface. The LP3947 can also operate on
default values that are pre-programmed in the factory. The
battery temperature is monitored continuously at the Ts pin
to safeguard against hazardous charging conditions. The
charger also has under-voltage and over-voltage protection
as well as an internal 5.6 hr timer to protect the battery. The
pass transistor and charge current sensing resistor are all
integrated inside the LP3947.
Key Specifications
n 1% Charger Voltage Accuracy Over 0˚C ≤ TJ ≤ 85˚C
n 4.3V to 6.0V Input Voltage Range
n 100 mA to 750 mA charge current range, in charger
mode
n 100mA to 500mA charge current range, in USB mode
n LLP Package Power Dissipation: 2.7W at TA = 25˚C
The LP3947 operates in four modes: pre-qualification, con-
stant current, constant voltage and maintenance modes.
There are two open drain outputs for status indication. An
internal amplifier readily converts the charge current into a
voltage. Also, the charger can operate in an LDO mode
providing a maximum of 1.2 Amp to the load.
