General Description
The AAT3681 BatteryManager is an integrated single cell
lithium-ion/polymer battery charger IC, designed to oper-
ate from a DC power source or USB port up to an input
voltage of 7.5V. It requires just one external component.
The AAT3681 precisely regulates battery charge voltage
and current for 4.2V (4.375V option) lithium-ion/poly-
mer battery cells. When charged from an AC adapter or
USB port, the battery charging current can be set by an
external resistor up to 300mA.
Battery charge state is continuously monitored for fault
conditions. In the event of an over-voltage, short-cir-
cuit, or over-temperature failure, the device will auto-
matically shut down, thus protecting the charging device,
control system, and the battery under charge. A status
monitor output pin is provided to indicate the battery
charge status by directly driving an external LED.
The AAT3681 is available in a Pb-free, thermally
enhanced, space-saving 8-pin 2.0x2.1mm SC70JW pack-
age and is specified for operation over the -40°C to
+85°C temperature range.

Functional Description
The AAT3681 is a high performance battery charger
designed to charge single cell lithium-ion/polymer batter-
ies with up to 300mA of current from an external power
source. It is a stand-alone charging solution, with just one
external component required for complete functionality.
The AAT3681 precisely regulates battery charge voltage
and current for 4.2V lithium-ion/polymer battery cells.
The adapter/USB charge input constant current level can
be programmed up to 300mA for rapid charging applica-
tions. The AAT3681 is rated for operation from -40°C to
+85°C. In the event of operating ambient temperatures
exceeding the power dissipation abilities of the device
package for a given constant current charge level, the
charge control will enter into thermal limit.
A status monitor output pin is provided to indicate the
battery charge state by directly driving one external
LED.
Device junction temperature and charge state are fully
monitored for fault conditions. In the event of an over-
voltage or over-temperature failure, the device will auto-
matically shut down, protecting the charging device,
control system, and the battery under charge.
Charging Operation
The AAT3681 has four basic modes for the battery charge
cycle: pre-conditioning/trickle charge; constant current/
fast charge; constant voltage; and end of charge (see
Figure 1). (AAT3681-1 does not have trickle charge.)

Battery Preconditioning
Before the start of charging, the AAT3681 checks sev-
eral conditions in order to assure a safe charging envi-
ronment. The input supply must be above the minimum
operating voltage, or under-voltage lockout threshold
(VUVLO), for the charging sequence to begin. When these
conditions have been met and a battery is connected to
the BAT pin, the AAT3681 checks the state of the bat-
tery. If the cell voltage is below the preconditioning volt-
age threshold (VMIN), the charge control begins precon-
ditioning the cell. The battery preconditioning trickle
charge current is equal to the fast charge constant cur-
rent divided by 10. For example, if the programmed fast
charge current is 300mA, then the preconditioning mode
(trickle charge) current will be 30mA. Cell precondition-
ing is a safety precaution for deeply discharged battery
cells and also aids in limiting power dissipation in the
pass transistor when the voltage across the device is at
the greatest potential.
Constant Current Charging
Battery cell preconditioning continues until the voltage
on the BAT pin exceeds the preconditioning voltage
threshold (VMIN). At this point, the AAT3681 begins the
constant current charging phase. The charge constant
current (ICH) amplitude is programmed by the user via
the RSET resistor. The AAT3681 remains in the constant
current charge mode until the battery reaches the volt-
age regulation point, VBAT_EOC.
Constant Voltage Charging
The system transitions to a constant voltage charging
mode when the battery voltage reaches the output
charge regulation threshold (VBAT_EOC) during the con-
stant current fast charge phase. The regulation voltage
level is factory programmed to 4.2V (±0.5%). Charge
current in the constant voltage mode drops as the bat-
tery cell under charge reaches its maximum capacity.
End of Charge Cycle Termination
and Recharge Sequence
When the charge current drops to 10% of the pro-
grammed fast charge current level in the constant volt-
age mode, the device terminates charging and goes into
a sleep state. The charger will remain in a sleep state
until the battery voltage decreases to a level below the
battery recharge voltage threshold (VRCH).
Consuming very low current in sleep state, the AAT3681
minimizes battery drain when it is not charging. This
feature is particularly useful in applications where the
input supply level may fall below the battery charge or
under-voltage lockout level. In such cases where the
AAT3681 input voltage drops, the device will enter sleep
state and automatically resume charging once the input
supply has recovered from the fault condition.

Application Information
Adapter or USB Power Input
Constant current charge levels up to 300mA may be
programmed by the user when powered from a sufficient
input power source. The AAT3681 will operate from the
adapter input over a 4.0V to 7.5V range. The constant
current fast charge current for the adapter input is set
by the RSET resistor connected between ISET and ground.
Refer to Table 1 for recommended RSET values for a
desired constant current charge level.
Adapter Input Charge Inhibit and Resume
The AAT3681 has a UVLO and power on reset feature so
that if the input supply to the ADP pin drops below the
UVLO threshold, the charger will suspend charging and
shut down. When power is re-applied to the ADP pin or
the UVLO condition recovers, the system charge control
will assess the state of charge on the battery cell and will
automatically resume charging in the appropriate mode
for the condition of the battery.
Enable / Disable
The AAT3681 provides an enable function to control the
charger IC on and off. The enable (EN) pin is internally
pulled down. When pulled to a logic high level, AAT3681
is enabled. When left open or pulled to a logic low level,
the AAT3681 will be shut down and forced into the sleep
state. Charging will be halted regardless of the battery
voltage or charging state. When the device is re-enabled,
the charge control circuit will automatically reset and
resume charging functions with the appropriate charging
mode based on the battery charge state and measured
cell voltage on the BAT pin.
Programming Charge Current
The fast charge constant current charge level is user
programmed with a set resistor placed between the ISET
pin and ground. The accuracy of the fast charge, as well
as the preconditioning trickle charge current, is domi-
nated by the tolerance of the set resistor used. For this
reason, a 1% tolerance metal film resistor is recom-
mended for the set resistor function. Fast charge con-
stant current levels from 15mA to 300mA may be set by
selecting the appropriate resistor value from Table 1.

Protection Circuitry
Over-Voltage Protection
An over-voltage event is defined as a condition where
the voltage on the BAT pin exceeds the maximum bat-
tery charge voltage and is set by the over-voltage pro-
tection threshold (VOVP). If an over-voltage condition
occurs, the AAT3681 charge control will shut down the
device until voltage on the BAT pin drops below VOVP
. The
AAT3681 will resume normal charging operation after
the over-voltage condition is removed.
Over-Temperature Shutdown
The AAT3681 has a thermal protection control circuit
which will shut down charging functions should the inter-
nal die temperature exceed the preset thermal limit
threshold. Once the internal die temperature falls below
the thermal limit, normal operation will resume the pre-
vious charging state.

Charge Status Output
The AAT3681 provides battery charge status via a status
pin. This pin is internally connected to an N-channel
open drain MOSFET, which can be used to drive an exter-
nal LED. The status pin can indicate the following condi-
tions:
Event Description Status
No battery charging activity OFF
Battery charging via adapter or USB port ON
Charging completed OFF
Table 2: LED Status Indicator.
The LED should be biased with as little current as neces-
sary to create reasonable illumination; therefore, a bal-
last resistor should be placed between the LED cathode
and the STAT pin. LED current consumption will add to
the overall thermal power budget for the device pack-
age, hence it is good to keep the LED drive current to a
minimum. 2mA should be sufficient to drive most low-
cost green or red LEDs. It is not recommended to exceed
8mA for driving an individual status LED.
The required ballast resistor values can be estimated
using the following formulas:

Thermal Considerations
The AAT3681 is offered in a SC70JW-8 package which
can provide up to 687mW of power dissipation when it
is properly bonded to a printed circuit board and has a
maximum thermal resistance of 160°C/W. Many consid-
erations should be taken into account when designing
the printed circuit board layout, as well as the placement
of the charger IC package in proximity to other heat
generating devices in a given application design. The
ambient temperature around the charger IC will also
have an effect on the thermal limits of a battery charg-
ing application. The maximum limits that can be expect-
ed for a given ambient condition can be estimated by the
following discussion.
First, the maximum power dissipation for a given situa-
tion should be calculated:
(T
J(MAX) -

)

Where:
PD(MAX) = Maximum Power Dissipation (W)
θJA = Package Thermal Resistance (°C/W)
TJ(MAX) = Maximum Device Junction Temperature (°C)
[135°C]
TA = Ambient Temperature (°C)
Figure 3 shows the relationship of maximum power dis-
sipation and ambient temperature of AAT3681.

Figure 3: Maximum Power Dissipation.
Next, the power dissipation can be calculated by the fol-
lowing equation:
PD = [(VIN - VBAT) · ICH + (VIN · IOP)]
Where:
PD = Total Power Dissipation by the Device
VIN = Input Voltage
VBAT = Battery Voltage as Seen at the BAT Pin
ICH = Constant Charge Current Programmed for the
Application
IOP = Quiescent Current Consumed by the Charger IC
for Normal Operation [0.5mA]
By substitution, we can derive the maximum charge cur-
rent before reaching the thermal limit condition (thermal
cycling). The maximum charge current is the key factor
when designing battery charger applications.

In general, the worst condition is the greatest voltage
drop across the charger IC, when battery voltage is
charged up to the preconditioning voltage threshold.
Figure 4 shows the maximum charge current in different
ambient temperatures.

Capacitor Selection
Input Capacitor
In general, it is good design practice to place a decou-
pling capacitor between the ADP pin and GND. An input
capacitor in the range of 1μF to 22μF is recommended.
If the source supply is unregulated, it may be necessary
to increase the capacitance to keep the input voltage
above the under-voltage lockout threshold during device
enable and when battery charging is initiated. If the
AAT3681 adapter input is to be used in a system with an
external power supply source, such as a typical AC-to-
DC wall adapter, then a CIN capacitor in the range of 10μF
should be used. A larger input capacitor in this applica-
tion will minimize switching or power transient effects
when the power supply is “hot plugged” in.
Output Capacitor
The AAT3681 only requires a 1μF ceramic capacitor on
the BAT pin to maintain circuit stability. This value should
be increased to 10μF or more if the battery connection is
made any distance from the charger output. If the
AAT3681 is to be used in applications where the battery
can be removed from the charger, such as with desktop
charging cradles, an output capacitor greater than 10μF
may be required to prevent the device from cycling on
and off when no battery is present.
Printed Circuit Board
Layout Considerations
For the best results, it is recommended to physically
place the battery pack as close as possible to the
AAT3681 BAT pin. To minimize voltage drops on the PCB,
keep the high current carrying traces adequately wide.
Refer to the AAT3681 evaluation board for a good layout
example (see Figures 5 and 6).
