SINGLE-CHIP LI-ION AND LI-POL CHARGE MANAGEMENT IC FOR CURRENT-LIMITED
APPLICATIONS
Designed Specifically to Work With
Current-Limited Wall Supplies
The bq2420x series are simple Li-Ion linear charge
management devices targeted at low-cost and space
Ideal for Low Dropout Charger Design for
limited charger applications. The bq2420x series offer
Single-Cell Li-Ion Packs With Coke or Graphite
integrated powerFET, high-accuracy voltage
Anodes
regulation, temperature monitoring, charge status,
Integrated PowerFET for 500 mA
and charge termination, in a single monolithic device.
Integrated Voltage Regulation With 0.5%
The bq2420x is designed to work with a
Accuracy
current-limited wall-mount transformer and therefore
Battery Insertion and Removal Detection
does not provide any current regulation. However,
these devices offer a fixed internal current limit to
Charge Termination by Minimum Current and
prevent damage to the internal powerFET. A
Time
time-limited pre-conditioning phase is provided to
Pre-Charge Conditioning With Safety Timer
condition deeply discharged cells. Once the battery
Sleep Mode for Low-Power Consumption
reaches the charge voltage, the high accuracy
voltage regulation loop takes over and completes the
Charge Status Output for LED or Host
charge cycle. Charge is terminated based on

minimum current. An internal charge timer provides a
Charge-in-Progress, Charge Completion, and
backup safety for charge termination.
Fault Conditions
Other standard features include an automatic sleep
Optional Temperature Monitoring Before and
mode activated when V

voltage and a recharge feature activated when the
Small, 8-Pin Power-Pad MSOP Package
battery voltage falls below the V
RCH
threshold.
In addition to the standard features, the core product
provides two additional enhancements: temperature
monitoring and status display. The temperature-
sense circuit continuously measures battery
temperature using an external thermistor and inhibits
charge until the battery temperature is within the
user-defined thresholds. The STAT pin indicates
three conditions of operation of the charger. These
conditions are charge-in-progress, charge complete,
and fault. This output can be used to drive an LED or
an interface to a microcontroller.
