The parameter KSET = 300 ; VSET = 2.5V. RSETA is the
resistor connected between the ISET A and GND.
Pre- Charge Current Setting
During a charge cycle if the battery voltage is below the
VPRECH threshold, the RT9513 a pplies a pre-charge mode
to the battery . This feature revives deeply discharged cells
and protects battery life. The RT9513 internal determines
the pre-charge rate a s 10% of the fa st-charge current.
Battery Voltage Regulation
The RT9513 monitors the battery voltage through the BA TT
pin. Once the battery voltage level closes to the VREG
threshold, the RT9513 voltage enters constant pha se and
the charging current begins to ta per down. When battery
voltage is over the VREG threshold, the RT9513 will stop
charge and keep to monitor the battery voltage. However,
when the battery voltage decreases 100mV below the
VREG, it will be recharged to keep the battery voltage.
Charge Status Outputs
The open-drain CHG_S and PGOOD outputs indicate
various charger operations a s shown in the following table.
These status pins can be used to drive LEDs or
communicate to the host processor. Note that ON
indicates the open-drain tra nsistor is turned on and LED
is bright.
Application Information
Automatically Power Source Selection
The RT9513 is a battery charger IC which is designed for
Li-ion Battery with 4.2V rated voltage.
AC Mode : When the AC input voltage (ACIN) is higher
tha n the UVP voltage level (4.4V), the R T9513 will enter
AC Mode. In the AC Mode, ACIN P-MOSFET is turned on
a nd USB P-MOSFET is turned off.
Sleep Mode : The RT9513 will enter Sleep Mode when
AC input voltage are removed. This feature provides low
leakage current from the battery during the absence of
input supply.
ACIN Over Voltage Protection
The AC input voltage is monitored by an internal OVP
comparator. The comparator ha s an accurate reference of
2.5V from the ba nd-ga p reference. The OVP threshold is
set by the internal resistive. The protection threshold is
set to 6.5V . When the input voltage exceeds the threshold,
the comparator outputs a logic signal to turn off the power
P-MOSFET to prevent the high input voltage from damaging
the electronics in the handheld system. When the input
over oltage condition is removed (ACIN < 6V), the
comparator re-enables the output by running through the
soft-start.
