RAA489108
Buck-Boost Narrow VDC Battery Charger with SMBus Interface Supporting USB PD EPR
The RAA489108 is a buck-boost Narrow Output
Voltage DC (NVDC) charger. The RAA489108
Features
▪ Buck-boost NVDC charger for 2, 3, or 4-cell Li-ion
provides NVDC charging, system bus regulation, and
protection features for tablets, Ultrabooks, notebooks,
power banks, and any USB-C interface platform. The
advanced Renesas R3™ technology provides high
light-load efficiency and fast transient response.
batteries
▪ Input voltage range: 3.9V to 30V (no dead zone)
▪ System output voltage: 2.4V to 18.304V
▪ Autonomous charging option (automatic
completion of charging)
In Charging mode, the RAA489108 accepts input
power from a wide range of DC power sources (such
as conventional AC/DC charger adapters, USB PD
ports, and travel adapters) and safely charges battery
packs with up to 4-series cell Li-ion batteries.
▪ Pass-Through mode in forward direction
▪ System power monitor PSYS output, IMVP
compliant
▪ Up to 1MHz switching frequency
As an NVDC topology charger, the RAA489108 also
regulates the system output to a narrow DC range for
stable system bus voltage. System power can be
provided from the adapter, battery, or a combination
of both. The RAA489108 can operate with only a
battery, only an adapter, or with both connected. For
Intel IMVP8 compliant systems, the RAA489108
includes PSYS (system power monitor) functionality,
which provides an analog signal representing total
platform power consumption. The PSYS output
connects to a wide range of Renesas IMVP8 core
regulators to provide an IMVP8 compliant power
domain function.
▪ Adapter current and battery current monitor
(AMON/BMON)
▪ PROCHOT# open-drain output, IMVP compliant
▪ Trickle charging of depleted battery
▪ Ideal diode control in Turbo mode
▪ Reverse buck, boost, and buck-boost operation
from battery
▪ Two-level adapter current limit available
▪ Battery Ship mode option
2
▪ SMBus and auto-increment I C compatible
▪ 4×4 32 Ld TQFN package compatible with the
ISL9238 family of parts
The RAA489108 supports reverse buck, reverse
boost, or reverse buck-boost operation to the input
port from 2-cell to 4-cell batteries.
Applications
▪ 2-cell to 4-cell tablets, Ultrabooks, notebooks,
power banks, and any USB-C interface portable
device requiring batteries

The RAA489108 provides SMBus/I C serial
communication that enables programming of many
critical parameters to deliver a customized solution.
