■Feature Description
1. Photocoupler Feedback Unit (PC pin, CHG-SW pin, TX-SW pin)
NJW4124 feeds back voltage and current information that are required for battery charging via a photocoupler to the
primary side of the AC/DC converter, and controls AC/DC converter output. No special method is required if the
primary side of the AC/DC converter that is being controlled (whether self excited or externally excited) has circuitry
that takes into account the range of output voltage and current that is required for charge control.
It also incorporates an adaptor output mode, and extraction of any constant voltage output is possible. The following
will switch between charge control and adaptor output.
CHG-SW pin, and TDET pin battery set detection are both on: Charge control mode
Either CHG-SW pin, or TDET pin battery set detection is off: Adaptor output mode
However, if charging is prohibited due to over voltage detection, temperature detection, or the charge over timer, or
when there is 2mA of charge, the system will move to adaptor mode.
The unit that controls feedback to the photocoupler consists of the ADP voltage control, charge voltage control, and
charge current control amps. Each amp controls the photocoupler drive transistor via an OR circuit (Figure 1).

■Feature Description (Continued)
Amp control and control of the SW transistor connected to the TX-SW pin are not the same in adapter output mode
and charge control mode.
1-1. Adapter output mode (ADP pin)
In adapter output mode, each of the circuits in the control unit will be in the following state.
● ADP voltage control amp → ON
● Charge voltage control amp → OFF
● Charge current control amp → OFF
● SW transistor → OFF
To set the adapter output voltage, use the ADP pin's external resistors RA1, and RA2 and the following formula.
V
ADP =
2A
2A1A
R
RR +x VREF-ADP (1.24V)
In adapter output mode the SW transistor connected to the TX-SW pin will turn OFF, and charge to the battery will
be cut off. For this reason, take adapter output voltage from a power supply line that comes before the SW transistor.
1-2.Charge control mode
In the case of pre-charge and quick charge each of the circuits in the control unit will be in the following state.
● ADP voltage control amp → OFF
● Charge voltage control amp → ON
● Charge current control amp → ON
● SW transistor → ON
However, when there is 2mA of charge, the system will operate in adapter output mode (SW transistor → OFF).
The SW transistor turns ON, and battery charging will be performed.
Charge voltage and charge current operations are described in "2. Voltage Detection Block", and "3. Current
Detection Block".

2. Voltage Detection Block (VS pin)
The VS pin determines charge voltage, low voltage, over voltage, and re-charge voltage. Battery voltage conditions are
constantly monitored. (Figure 2)
2-1. Charge Voltage (VS pin)
Charge voltage VBAT is set using the VS pin external
resistors RB1 and RB2 and the following equation:
VBAT =2B
2B1B
R
RR +x VREF-CV (2.1V)
Using the following settings makes it easy to support
applications for one or two cells: for one cell, RB1= RB2;
for two cells, RB1=3 x RB2.
If you use a high resistance, the VS pin's bias current will
cause incorrect values. Use as low a resistance as
possible.
2-2. Overcharge Detection Block (VS pin)
The overcharge detection block stops charging when a
high voltage is detected at the VS pin.
The overcharge detection voltage is obtained with the following equation:
VOV=VBAT × 1.025 (typ.)
When overcharge is detected, charging is prohibited and LED-R blinks. After that, charge will continue to be prohibited, even
after battery voltage drops to a normal value. Turning the power off to release UVLO, battery connection detection, or
CHG-SW switching will enable the charge sequence to restart.
2-3. Low Voltage Detection (2mA charge) Block (VS pin, CS1 pin)
The low voltage detection block detects an
over-discharged battery, or an open battery caused by
the battery protection circuit or the like. This will
determine a 2mA charge prior to pre-charging.
The low voltage detection voltage is obtained with the
following equation:
VLV=VBAT × 0.525 (typ.)
During a 2mA charge, the block monitors battery voltage
recovery while a steady 2mA current is output from the
CS1 pin. (Figure 3)
If voltage does not recover within a prescribed time, the
timer will prohibit 2mA charging. Turning the power off to
release UVLO, battery connection detection, or CHG-SW
switching will enable the charge sequence to restart.
2-4. Re-Charge Detection (VS pin)
When a fully charged battery is left for a long period of time, voltage will drop due to self-discharge. The re-charge detection
block detects a drop in voltage and re-charges the battery.
The re-charge detection voltage is obtained with the following equation.
VR-CHG=VBAT × 0.95 (typ.)

■FEATURE DESCRIPTION (CONTINUE D)
3. Current Detection Block (CS1 pin, CS2 pin)
A current detection resistor RCS is inserted between pin CS1 and pin CS2 to monitor battery charge current.
The input voltage between pin CS1 and pin CS2 is amplified by the 12dB current detection amp and fed back to the charge
current control amp. (Figure 4)
3-1. Pre-Charge Current, Quick Charge Current (P-CHG pin, Q-CHG pin)
This will switch between charging with pre-charge current or quick charge current according to the level of the battery
voltage VBAT that is input from the VS pin.
VBAT x 0.525 to VBAT x 0.73 Pre-charge control
VBAT x 0.73 to VBAT Quick charge control
Pre-charge and quick charge current values are determined by the P-CHG pin and the Q-CHG pin voltage settings.
Settings are made according to the following formulae.

Charge termination is determined by a set full
charge current IF-CHG., which is determined by a
voltage setting on the F-CHG pin.
IF-CHG = (96mV/ 8) / RCS
When charging is terminated, LED-G turns on,
and the sequence moves to the re-charge
detection operation.

4. Temperature Detection Block, Battery Connected Detection Block (TDET pin, TH pin, TL pin)
The charge temperature range is set with the TL pin (high temperature) and the TH pin (low temperature).
The threshold voltage for the temperature detection comparator is set with the external resistors RTHL, RTH, RTL. Therefore,
you can select any type of thermistor (NTC) and any charge temperature range (Figure 5).
The TL pin and the TH pin are set to go to the potential states shown below for fluctuations in TDET voltage.
VTL (high temperature) < VTDET (charge Temperature) < VTH (low temperature)

When the detected temperature goes out of the range of the set values, charging stops, and LED-R is blinks. After
temperature is restored, charging recommences in line with battery voltage status.
The TDET pin is also used for the battery-connected detection feature.
The battery-connected detection feature determines that a battery is connected if TDET pin voltage is no greater than
1.15V(typ.), and commences charging.

■FEATURE DESCRIPTION (CONTINUE D)
In each charge mode if time-over occurs charging is prohibited and LED-R blinks. Turning the power off to release UVLO,
battery connection detection, or CHG-SW switching will enable the charge sequence to restart.
NJW4120 incorporates a test mode that shortens the timer block function's test time by 1/150,000.
To operate in test mode set the TH pin voltage to a value no greater than that of the TL pin. In test mode, regardless of the
external timing capacitors C1, C2, the internal timer clock frequency will operate in a range of approximately 200kHz to
300kHz. The following shows calculation values when the oscillating frequency is 250kHz (4µs cycle).
Table 4. Timer Times in Test Mode.
When the TDET pin voltage is approximately 1.2V or greater, the pre-charge / quick charge timers operate normally.
If you want to further reduce the test time, setting TDET pin voltage makes it possible to run each of the timer counters
divided in half. When the TDET pin is approximately 0.3V or less, the first half of the counter is bypassed. When the voltage
is approximately greater than 0.4V and less than 1.1V, the second half of the counter is bypassed.

■FEATURE DESCRIPTION (CONTINUE D)
7. Reference Voltage Block (VREF pin)
This block generates 1.24V and 4.2V reference voltages. The VREF pin outputs 1.24V. In addition to the IC internal
reference voltage, this is also used as a reference voltage for charge current setting and temperature detection setting.
It is not recommended to connect a capacitor to VREF pin.
It will take a long time to start-up of reference voltage when a capacitor is connected to VREF pin.
Therefore, it may cause malfunction of logic, charge voltage and charge current circuit.
8. Power Block, Under Voltage Lockout Circuit (UVLO) Block (V+ pin, GND pin)
An integrated Under Voltage Lockout circuit prevents IC malfunction when power is turned on or off. This circuit
incorporates a 200mV hysteresis width to prevent chattering.
As required, insert a bypass capacitor near the IC's V+ pin when there is power line noise or when wires are long.
9. LED Block (LED-R pin, LED-G pin)
The 2 LEDs can indicate charge status. (Figure 6)
The LED drive circuit output constant voltage 1.24V. And, the LED is driven
constant current by external transistor and resistance.
As a result, even if the voltage of the adaptor in which LED is driven
changes, the brightness of LED can be kept constant.
The expression for setting the current that flows through the LEDs is shown
below.
ILED-G ≒(1.24V-VBE) / RLED
or
ILED-R ≒(1.24V-VBE) / RLED
