APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
USB and Wall Adapter Power
The SGM4054 allows charging from both a wall adapter
and a USB port. Figure 7 shows an example of how to
combine wall adapter and USB power inputs. A P-channel
MOSFET, MP1, is used to prevent back conducting into the
USB port when a wall adapter is present and a Schottky
diode, D1, is used to prevent USB power loss through the
1k pull-down resistor.
Typically a wall adapter can supply more current than the
500mA-limited USB port. Therefore, an N-channel
MOSFET, MN1, and an extra 10k program resistor are used
to increase the charge current to 600mA when the wall
adapter is present.

State
CHGR
To detect when the SGM4054 is in charge mode, force the
digital output pin (OUT) high and measure the voltage at
the CHGR pin. The N-channel MOSFET will pull the pin
voltage low even with the 2k pull-up resistor. Once the
charge cycle terminates, the N-channel MOSFET is turned
off and a 20µA current source is connected to the CHGR
pin. The IN pin will then be pulled high by the 2k pull-up
resistor. To determine if there is a weak pull-down current,
the OUT pin should be forced to a high impedance state.
The weak current source will pull the IN pin low through
the 800k resistor; if CHGR is high impedance, the IN pin
will be pulled high, indicating that the part is in a UVLO
state.
Reverse Polarity Input Voltage Protection
Figure 7. Combining Wall Adapter and USB Power
In some applications, protection from reverse polarity
voltage on V+ is desired. If the supply voltage is high
enough, a series blocking diode can be used. In other cases,
where the voltage drop must be kept low a P-channel
MOSFET can be used (as shown in Figure 6).
