General Description
The AAT2556 is a member of AnalogicTech’s Total Power
Management IC™ (TPMIC™) product family. It is a fully
integrated 500mA battery charger plus a 250mA step-
down converter. The input voltage range is 4V to 6.5V for
the battery charger and 2.7V to 5.5V for the step-down
converter, making it ideal for single-cell lithium-ion/poly-
mer battery-powered applications.
The battery charger is a complete constant current/ con-
stant voltage linear charger. It offers an integrated pass
device, reverse blocking protection, high current accu-
racy and voltage regulation, charge status, and charge
termination. The charging current is programmable via
external resistor from 15mA to 500mA. In addition to
standard features, the device offers over-voltage, cur-
rent limit, and thermal protection.
The step-down converter is a highly integrated converter
operating at 1.5MHz of switching frequency, minimizing
the size of external components while keeping switching
losses low. It has independent input and enable pins.
The output voltage ranges from 0.6V to the input volt-
age. The feedback and control deliver excellent load
regulation and transient response with a small output
inductor and capacitor.
The AAT2556 is available in a Pb-free, thermally-
enhanced TDFN33-12 package and is rated over the
-40°C to +85°C temperature range.

Functional Description
The AAT2556 is a high performance power system com-
prised of a 500mA lithium-ion/polymer battery charger
and a 250mA step-down converter.
The battery charger is designed for single-cell lithium-ion/
polymer batteries using a constant current and constant
voltage algorithm. The battery charger operates from the
adapter/USB input voltage range from 4V to 6.5V. The
adapter/USB charging current level can be programmed
up to 500mA for rapid charging applications. A status
monitor output pin is provided to indicate the battery
charge state by directly driving one external LED. Internal
device temperature and charging state are fully moni-
tored for fault conditions. In the event of an over-voltage
or over-temperature failure, the device will automatically
shut down, protecting the charging device, control sys-
tem, and the battery under charge. Other features include
an integrated reverse blocking diode and sense resistor.
The step-down converter operates with an input voltage
of 2.7V to 5.5V. The switching frequency is 1.5MHz,
minimizing the size of the inductor. Under light load con-
ditions, the device enters power-saving mode; the
switching frequency is reduced, and the converter con-
sumes 30μA of current, making it ideal for battery-oper-
ated applications. The output voltage is programmable
from VIN to as low as 0.6V. Power devices are sized for
250mA current capability while maintaining over 90%
efficiency at full load. Light load efficiency is maintained
at greater than 80% down to 1mA of load current. A
high-DC gain error amplifier with internal compensation
controls the output. It provides excellent transient
response and load/line regulation.
Under-Voltage Lockout
The AAT2556 has internal circuits for UVLO and power on
reset features. If the ADP supply voltage drops below the
UVLO threshold, the battery charger will suspend charg-
ing and shut down. When power is reapplied to the ADP
pin or the UVLO condition recovers, the system charge
control will automatically resume charging in the appro-
priate mode for the condition of the battery. If the input
voltage of the step-down converter drops below UVLO,
the internal circuit will shut down.
Protection Circuitry
Over-Voltage Protection
An over-voltage protection event is defined as a condition
where the voltage on the BAT pin exceeds the over-volt-
age protection threshold (VOVP). If this over-voltage condi-
tion occurs, the charger control circuitry will shut down
the device. The charger will resume normal charging
operation after the over-voltage condition is removed.

Current Limit, Over-Temperature Protection
For overload conditions, the peak input current is limited
at the step-down converter. As load impedance decreas-
es and the output voltage falls closer to zero, more
power is dissipated internally, which causes the internal
die temperature to rise. In this case, the thermal protec-
tion circuit completely disables switching, which protects
the device from damage.
The battery charger has a thermal protection circuit which
will shut down charging functions when the internal die
temperature exceeds the preset thermal limit threshold.
Once the internal die temperature falls below the thermal
limit, normal charging operation will resume.
Control Loop
The AAT2556 contains a compact, current mode step-
down DC/DC controller. The current through the P-channel
MOSFET (high side) is sensed for current loop control, as
well as short-circuit and overload protection. A fixed
slope compensation signal is added to the sensed cur-
rent to maintain stability for duty cycles greater than
50%. The peak current mode loop appears as a voltage-
programmed current source in parallel with the output
capacitor. The output of the voltage error amplifier pro-
grams the current mode loop for the necessary peak
switch current to force a constant output voltage for all
load and line conditions. Internal loop compensation ter-
minates the transconductance voltage error amplifier
output. The error amplifier reference is fixed at 0.6V.
Battery Charging Operation
Battery charging commences only after checking several
conditions in order to maintain a safe charging environ-
ment. The input supply (ADP) must be above the mini-
mum operating voltage (UVLO) and the enable pin must
be high (internally pulled down). When the battery is
connected to the BAT pin, the charger checks the condi-
tion of the battery and determines which charging mode
to apply. If the battery voltage is below VMIN, the charger
begins battery pre-conditioning by charging at 10% of
the programmed constant current; e.g., if the pro-
grammed current is 150mA, then the pre-conditioning
current (trickle charge) is 15mA. Pre-conditioning is
purely a safety precaution for a deeply discharged cell
and will also reduce the power dissipation in the internal
series pass MOSFET when the input-output voltage dif-
ferential is at its highest.
Pre-conditioning continues until the battery voltage
reaches VMIN. At this point, the charger begins constant-
current charging. The current level for this mode is pro-
grammed using a single resistor from the ISET pin to
ground. Programmed current can be set from a mini-
mum 15mA up to a maximum of 500mA. Constant cur-
rent charging will continue until the battery voltage
reaches the voltage regulation point, VBAT
. When the bat-
tery voltage reaches VBAT
, the battery charger begins
constant voltage mode. The regulation voltage is factory
programmed to a nominal 4.2V (±0.5%) and will con-
tinue charging until the charging current has reduced to
10% of the programmed current.
After the charge cycle is complete, the pass device turns
off and the device automatically goes into a power-sav-
ing sleep mode. During this time, the series pass device
will block current in both directions, preventing the bat-
tery from discharging through the IC.
The battery charger will remain in sleep mode, even if
the charger source is disconnected, until one of the fol-
lowing events occurs: the battery terminal voltage drops
below the VRCH threshold; the charger EN pin is recycled;
or the charging source is reconnected. In all cases, the
charger will monitor all parameters and resume charging
in the most appropriate mode.

Application Information
Soft Start / Enable
The EN_BAT pin is internally pulled down. When pulled
to a logic high level, the battery charger is enabled.
When left open or pulled to a logic low level, the battery
charger is shut down and forced into the sleep state.
Charging will be halted regardless of the battery voltage
or charging state. When it is re-enabled, the charge con-
trol circuit will automatically reset and resume charging
functions with the appropriate charging mode based on
the battery charge state and measured cell voltage from
the BAT pin.
The step-down converter features a soft start that limits
the inrush current and eliminates output voltage over-
shoot during startup. The circuit is designed to increase
the inductor current limit in discrete steps when the
input voltage or enable input is applied. Typical start up
time is 100μs.
Pulling EN_BUCK to logic low forces the converter in a
low power, non-switching state, and it consumes less
than 1μA of quiescent current. Connecting it to logic high
enables the converter and resumes normal operation.
Adapter or USB Power Input
Constant current charge levels up to 500mA may be
programmed by the user when powered from a sufficient
input power source. The battery charger will operate
from the adapter input over a 4.0V to 6.5V 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 val-
ues for a desired constant current charge level.
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 500mA may be set by
selecting the appropriate resistor value from Table 1.

nal LED. The status pin can indicate several conditions,

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 AAT2556 is offered in a TDFN33-12 package which
can provide up to 2W of power dissipation when it is
properly bonded to a printed circuit board and has a
maximum thermal resistance of 50°C/W. Many consider-
ations 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 gener-
ating devices in a given application design. The ambient
temperature around the IC will also have an effect on the
thermal limits of a battery charging application. The
maximum limits that can be expected 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:

Next, the power dissipation of the battery charger can be
calculated by the following equation:
PD = [(VADP - VBAT) · ICH + (VADP · IOP)]
Where:
PD = Total Power Dissipation by the Device
VADP = ADP/USB Voltage
VBAT = Battery Voltage as Seen at the BAT Pin
ICH = -Constant Charge Current Programmed for the

IOP = -Quiescent Current Consumed by the Charger

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.

There are three types of losses associated with the step-
down converter: switching losses, conduction losses, and
quiescent current losses. Conduction losses are associ-
ated with the RDS(ON) characteristics of the power output
switching devices. Switching losses are dominated by the
gate charge of the power output switching devices. At full
load, assuming continuous conduction mode (CCM), a
simplified form of the losses is given by:
PTOTAL
IO
2 · (RDSON(H) · VO + RDSON(L) · [VIN - VO])
VIN
=
+ (tsw · FS · IO + IQ) · VIN
IQ is the step-down converter quiescent current. The
term tsw is used to estimate the full load step-down con-
verter switching losses.
For the condition where the step-down converter is in
dropout at 100% duty cycle, the total device dissipation
reduces to:
PTOTAL = IO
2 · RDSON(H) + IQ · VIN
Since RDS(ON), quiescent current, and switching losses all
vary with input voltage, the total losses should be inves-
tigated over the complete input voltage range.
Given the total losses, the maximum junction tempera-
ture can be derived from the θJA for the TDFN33-12 pack-
age which is 50°C/W.
TJ(MAX) = PTOTAL · ΘJA + TAMB
Capacitor Selection
Battery Charger Input Capacitor (C1)
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
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 application will
minimize switching or power transient effects when the
power supply is “hot plugged” in.
Step-Down Converter Input Capacitor (C3)
Select a 4.7μF to 10μF X7R or X5R ceramic capacitor for
the input. To estimate the required input capacitor size,
determine the acceptable input ripple level (VPP) and solve
for CIN. The calculated value varies with input voltage and
is a maximum when VIN is double the output voltage.

Always examine the ceramic capacitor DC voltage coef-

For example, the capacitance of a 10μF, 6.3V, X5R ceram-
ic capacitor with 5.0V DC applied is actually about 6μF.

VIN appears in both the input voltage
ripple and input capacitor RMS current equations and is
a maximum when VO is twice VIN. This is why the input
voltage ripple and the input capacitor RMS current ripple
are a maximum at 50% duty cycle.
The input capacitor provides a low impedance loop for the
edges of pulsed current drawn by the step-down con-
verter. Low ESR/ESL X7R and X5R ceramic capacitors are
ideal for this function. To minimize stray inductance, the
capacitor should be placed as closely as possible to the IC.
This keeps the high frequency content of the input current
localized, minimizing EMI and input voltage ripple.
The proper placement of the input capacitor (C3) can be
seen in the evaluation board layout in Figure 6.
A laboratory test set-up typically consists of two long
wires running from the bench power supply to the evalu-
ation board input voltage pins. The inductance of these
wires, along with the low-ESR ceramic input capacitor,
can create a high Q network that may affect converter
performance. This problem often becomes apparent in
the form of excessive ringing in the output voltage dur-
ing load transients. Errors in the loop phase and gain
measurements can also result.
Since the inductance of a short PCB trace feeding the
input voltage is significantly lower than the power leads
from the bench power supply, most applications do not
exhibit this problem.
In applications where the input power source lead induc-
tance cannot be reduced to a level that does not affect
the converter performance, a high ESR tantalum or alu-
minum electrolytic capacitor should be placed in parallel
with the low ESR, ESL bypass ceramic capacitor. This
dampens the high Q network and stabilizes the system.
Battery Charger Output Capacitor (C2)
The AAT2556 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
AAT2556 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.
Step-Down Converter Output Capacitor (C4)
The output capacitor limits the output ripple and pro-
vides holdup during large load transitions. A 4.7μF to
10μF X5R or X7R ceramic capacitor typically provides
sufficient bulk capacitance to stabilize the output during
large load transitions and has the ESR and ESL charac-
teristics necessary for low output ripple. For enhanced
transient response and low temperature operation appli-
cations, a 10μF (X5R, X7R) ceramic capacitor is recom-
mended to stabilize extreme pulsed load conditions.
The output voltage droop due to a load transient is dom-
inated by the capacitance of the ceramic output capacitor.
During a step increase in load current, the ceramic output
capacitor alone supplies the load current until the loop
responds. Within two or three switching cycles, the loop
responds and the inductor current increases to match the
load current demand. The relationship of the output volt-
age droop during the three switching cycles to the output
capacitance can be estimated by:
COUT =
3 · ΔILOAD
VDROOP · FS
Once the average inductor current increases to the DC
load level, the output voltage recovers. The above equa-
tion establishes a limit on the minimum value for the
output capacitor with respect to load transients.
The internal voltage loop compensation also limits the
minimum output capacitor value to 4.7μF. This is due to
its effect on the loop crossover frequency (bandwidth),
phase margin, and gain margin. Increased output capac-
itance will reduce the crossover frequency with greater
phase margin.
The maximum output capacitor RMS ripple current is
given by:

Dissipation due to the RMS current in the ceramic output
capacitor ESR is typically minimal, resulting in less than
a few degrees rise in hot-spot temperature.
Inductor Selection
The step-down converter uses peak current mode con-
trol with slope compensation to maintain stability for
duty cycles greater than 50%. The output inductor value
must be selected so the inductor current down slope
meets the internal slope compensation requirements.
The internal slope compensation for the AAT2556 is
0.45A/μsec. This equates to a slope compensation that
is 75% of the inductor current down slope for a 1.8V
output and 3.0μH inductor.

For most designs, the step-down converter operates with
an inductor value of 1μH to 4.7μH. Table 3 displays
inductor values for the AAT2556 with different output
voltage options.
Manufacturer’s specifications list both the inductor DC
current rating, which is a thermal limitation, and the
peak current rating, which is determined by the satura-
tion characteristics. The inductor should not show any
appreciable saturation under normal load conditions.
Some inductors may meet the peak and average current
ratings yet result in excessive losses due to a high DCR.
Always consider the losses associated with the DCR and
its effect on the total converter efficiency when selecting
an inductor.
The 3.0μH CDRH2D09 series inductor selected from
Sumida has a 150mΩ DCR and a 470mA DC current rat-
ing. At full load, the inductor DC loss is 9.375mW which
gives a 2.08% loss in efficiency for a 250mA, 1.8V out-
put.

Layout Considerations
For the best results, it is recommended to physically
place the battery pack as close as possible to the
AAT2556 BAT pin. To minimize voltage drops on the PCB,
keep the high current carrying traces adequately wide.
Refer to the AAT2556 evaluation board for a good layout
example (see Figures 6 and 7). The following guidelines
should be used to help ensure a proper layout.
1. The input capacitors (C1, C3) should connect as
closely as possible to ADP (Pin 9) and VIN (Pin 12).
2. C4 and L1 should be connected as closely as possi-
ble. The connection of L1 to the LX pin should be as
short as possible. Do not make the node small by
using narrow trace. The trace should be kept wide,
direct, and short.
3. The feedback pin (Pin 1) should be separate from
any power trace and connect as closely as possible
to the load point. Sensing along a high-current load
trace will degrade DC load regulation. Feedback
resistors should be placed as closely as possible to
the FB pin (Pin 1) to minimize the length of the high
impedance feedback trace. If possible, they should
also be placed away from the LX (switching node)
and inductor to improve noise immunity.
4. The resistance of the trace from the load return to
PGND (Pin 10) and GND (Pin 2) should be kept to a
minimum. This will help to minimize any error in DC
regulation due to differences in the potential of the
internal signal ground and the power ground.
5. A high density, small footprint layout can be achieved
using an inexpensive, miniature, non-shielded, high
DCR inductor.
