SLUSAK9 –SEPTEMBER 2011
The gate drive voltage on ACFET and RBFET is VCMSRC + 6V. If the ACFET/RBFET have been turned on for
20ms, and the voltage across gate and source is still less than 5.9V, ACFET and RBFET will be turned off. After
1.3s delay, it resumes turning on ACFET and RBFET. If such a failure is detected seven times within 90
seconds, ACFET/RBFET will be latched off and an adapter removal and system shut down is required to force
ACDET < 0.6V to reset the IC. After IC reset from latch off, ACFET/RBFET can be turned on again. After 90
seconds, the failure counter will be reset to zero to prevent latch off. With ACFET/RBFET off, charge is disabled.
To turn off ACFET/RBFET, one of the following conditions must be valid:
•
•
In LEARN mode and VSRN is above battery depletion threshold;
ACOK low
To limit the in-rush current on ACDRV pin, CMSRC pin and BATDRV pin, a 4kΩ resistor is recommended on
each of the three pins.
To limit the adapter inrush current when ACFET is turned on to power system from adapter, the Cgs and Cgd
external capacitor of ACFET must be carefully selected. The larger the Cgs and Cgd capacitance, the slower turn
on of ACFET will be and less inrush current of adapter. However, if Cgs or Cgd is too large, the ACDRV-CMSRC
voltage may still go low after the 20ms turn on time window is expired. To make sure ACFET will not be turned
on when adapter is hot plugged in, the Cgs value should be 20 times or higher than Cgd. The most cost effective
way to reduce adapter in-rush current is to minimize system total capacitance.
Battery LEARN Cycle
A battery LEARN cycle can be activated via SMBus command (ChargeOption() bit[6]=1 enable LEARN cycle,
bit[6]=0 disable LEARN cycle). When LEARN is enabled with ACFET/RBFET connected, the system power
selector logic is over-driven to switch to battery by turning off ACFET/RBFET and turning on BATFET. LEARN
function allows the battery to discharge in order to calibrate the battery gas gauge over a complete
discharge/charge cycle. The controller automatically exits LEARN cycle when the battery voltage is below battery
depletion threshold, and the system switches back to adapter input by turning off BATFET and turning on
ACFET/RBFET. After LEARN cycle, the LEARN bit is automatically reset to 0. The battery depletion threshold
can be set to 59.19%, 62.65%, 66.55%, and 70.97% of voltage regulation level via SMBus command
(ChargeOption() bit[12:11]).
