RT9535B
Operation
The RT9535B is a current mode PWM step-down
switching charger controller. The battery DC charge
current is programmed by a resistor R4 at the ISET pin
and the ratio of sense resistor RS2 over RS1 in the
typical application circuit. Amplifier CA converts the
charge current through RS1 to a much lower sampled
CL Amplifier
The amplifier CL monitors and limits the input current,
normally from the AC adapter, to a preset level (100mV
/ RS4). At input current limit, CL will supply the
programming current at ISET pin, thus reducing battery
charging current.
current ICHG (ICHG = IBATT x RS1 / RS2) fed into the
ISET pin. Amplifier EA compares the output of CA with
2.5V reference voltage and drives the PWM loop to
force them to be equal. Note that ICHG has both AC
and DC components. High DC accuracy is achieved
with averaging filter R3 and C3 at ISET pin. ICHG is
mirrored to go through R4 and generates a ramp signal
that is fed to the PWM control comparator, forming the
current mode inner loop. An internal LDO generates a
5V to power topside FET gate driver. For batteries like
lithium that require both constant current and constant
voltage charging, the 0.5% 2.5V reference and the
voltage amplifier VA reduce the charge current when
battery voltage reaches the normal charge voltage level.
For NiMH and NiCd, VA can be used for over voltage
protection.
Charge STATUS
When the charger is in voltage mode and the charge
current level is reduced to 17%, STATUS pin will turn to
logic high. This charge completion signal can be used
to start a timer for charge termination. A 0.1F
capacitor from STATUS to ground is needed to filter the
sampled charging current ripple.
ACDRV Driver
The ACDRV pin drives an external P-MOSFET to avoid
reverse current from battery to input supply. When
input supply is removed, the RT9535B goes into a low
current, 10A maximum, sleep mode as VIN drops
below the battery voltage.
