1.2MHz, Low-Cost,  
High-Performance Chargers  
6/MAX7015B  
General Description  
Features  
The MAX17005B/MAX17006B/MAX17015B are high-fre-  
quency multichemistry battery chargers. These circuits  
feature a new high-frequency current-mode architecture  
that significantly reduces component size and cost*.  
The charger uses a high-side MOSFET with n-channel  
synchronous rectifier. Widely adjustable charge current,  
charge voltage, and input current limit simplify the con-  
struction of highly accurate and efficient chargers.  
o High Switching Frequency (1.2MHz)  
o Controlled Inductor Current-Ripple Architecture  
Reduced BOM Cost  
Small Inductor and Output Capacitors  
o ±±.ꢀ4 Accurate Charge ꢁoltage  
o ±2.ꢂ4 Accurate Input-Current ꢃimiting  
o ±ꢄ4 Accurate Charge Current  
o Single-Point Compensation  
The charge voltage and charge current are set with  
analog control inputs. The charge current setting can  
also be adjusted with a PWM input. High-accuracy cur-  
rent-sense amplifiers provide fast cycle-by-cycle cur-  
rent-mode control to protect against short circuits to the  
battery and respond quickly to system load transients.  
In addition, the charger provides a high-accuracy ana-  
log output that is proportional to the adapter current. In  
the MAX17015B, this current monitor remains active  
when the adapter is absent to monitor battery dis-  
charge current.  
o Monitor Outputs for  
±2.ꢂ4 Accurate Input Current ꢃimit  
±2.ꢂ4 Battery ꢅischarge Current  
(MAX17±1ꢂB Only)  
AC Adapter ꢅetection  
o Analog/PWM Adjustable Charge-Current Setting  
o Battery ꢁoltage Adjustable for ꢄ and ꢀ Cells  
(MAX17±±ꢂB) or 2 and ꢄ Cells (MAX17±±6B)  
The MAX17005B charges three or four Li+ series cells,  
and the MAX17006B charges two or three Li+ series  
cells. The MAX17015B adjusts the charge voltage set-  
ting and the number of cells through a feedback resis-  
tor-divider from the output. All variants of the charger  
can provide at least 4A of charge current with a 10mΩ  
sense resistor.  
o Adjustable Battery ꢁoltage (ꢀ.2ꢁ to ꢀ.ꢀꢁ/Cell)  
o Cycle-by-Cycle Current ꢃimit  
Battery Short-Circuit Protection  
Fast Response for Pulse Charging  
Fast System-ꢃoad-Transient Response  
The charger utilizes a charge pump to control an n-channel  
adapter selection switch. The charge pump remains  
active even when the charger is off. When the adapter  
is absent, a p-channel MOSFET selects the battery.  
o Programmable Charge Current < ꢂA  
o Automatic System Power Source Selection with  
n-Channel MOSFET  
The MAX17005B/MAX17006B/MAX17015B are avail-  
able in a small, 4mm x 4mm x 0.8mm 20-pin, lead-free  
TQFN package. An evaluation kit is available to reduce  
design time.  
o Internal Boost ꢅiode  
o +8ꢁ to +26ꢁ Input ꢁoltage Range

Figure 1. Typical Operating Circuit  
The MAX17005B/MAX17006B/MAX17015B use a new  
thermally optimized high-frequency architecture. With this  
new architecture, the switching frequency is adjusted to  
control the power dissipation in the high-side  
MOSFET. Benefits of the new architecture include  
reduced output capacitance and inductance, resulting in  
smaller PCB area and lower cost.  
Detailed Description  
The MAX17005B/MAX17006B/MAX17015B include all  
the functions necessary to charge Li+, NiMH, and NiCd  
batteries. An all n-channel synchronous-rectified step-  
down DC-DC converter is used to implement a preci-  
sion constant-current, constant-voltage charger. The  
charge current and input current-limit sense amplifiers  
have low-input offset errors (250μV typ), allowing the  
use of small-value sense resistors.

Figure 2. Functional Diagram  
The MAX17005B/MAX17006B/MAX17015B feature a  
voltage-regulation loop (CCV) and two current-regula-  
tion loops (CCI and CCS). The loops operate indepen-  
dently of each other. The CCV voltage-regulation loop  
monitors BATT to ensure that its voltage never exceeds  
the voltage set by VCTL. The CCI battery charge cur-  
rent-regulation loop monitors current delivered to BATT  
to ensure that it never exceeds the current limit set by  
ISET. The charge current-regulation loop is in control as  
long as the battery voltage is below the set point. When  
the battery voltage reaches its set point, the voltage-  
regulation loop takes control and maintains the battery  
voltage at the set point. A third loop (CCS) takes control  
and reduces the charge current when the adapter cur-  
rent exceeds the input current limit.  
The MAX17005B/MAX17006B/MAX17015B have single-  
point compensation. The two current loops are internal-  
ly compensated while the voltage loop is compensated  
with a capacitor at CC pin. A functional diagram is  
shown in Figure 2.

1.2MHz, Low-Cost,  
High-Performance Chargers  
There are two constraints in choosing R7 and R8. The  
Setting Charge Voltage  
resistors cannot be too small since they discharge the  
battery, and they cannot be too large because FB pin  
consumes less than 1μA of input bias current. Pick R8  
to be approximately 10kΩ and then calculate R7.  
The VCTL input adjusts the battery-output voltage,  
BATT  
V
, and determines the number of cells. For 3- and  
4-cell applications, use the MAX17005B; for 2- and  
3-cell applications, use the MAX17006B. Use the  
MAX17015B to adjust the cell number and set the cell  
voltage with a resistive voltage-divider from the output.  
Based on the version of the part, the number of cells  
and the level of VCTL should be set as in Table 1.  
FB regulation error ( 0.5ꢀ max) and the tolerance of R7  
and R8 both contribute to the error on the battery volt-  
age. Use 0.1ꢀ feedback resistors for best accuracy.  
Figure 3 shows the MAX17015B charge-voltage regula-  
tion feedback network.  
Table 1. Cell Configuration  
Setting Charge Current  
The voltage at ISET determines the voltage across cur-  
rent-sense resistor RS2. ISET can accept either analog  
or digital inputs. The full-scale differential voltage  
between CSIP and CSIN is 80mV (8A for RS2 = 10mΩ)  
for the analog input, and 60mV (6A for RS2 = 10mΩ) for  
the digital PWM input.

When the MAX17005B/MAX17006B/MAX17015B power  
up and the charger is ready, if there is no clock edge  
within 20ms, the circuit assumes ISET is an analog  
input, and disables the PWM filter block. To configure  
the charge current, force the voltage on ISET according  
to the following equation:  
The MAX17005B/MAX17006B support from 4.2V/cell to  
4.4V/cell, whereas the MAX17015B supports minimum  
2.1V. The maximum voltage is determined with the  
dropout performance of IC. When the required voltage  
falls outside the range available with the MAX17005B or  
MAX17006B, the MAX17015B should be used.

Choose a current-sense resistor (RS1) to have a suffi-  
cient power rating to handle the full system current. The

from 128Hz to 500kHz. Zero duty cycle shuts down the  
MAX17005B/MAX17006B/MAX17015B, and 99.5ꢀ duty  
cycle corresponds to full scale (60mV) across CSIP  
and CSIN.  
Choose a current-sense resistor (RS2) to have a suffi-  
cient power-dissipation rating to handle the full-charge  
current. The current-sense voltage can be reduced to  
minimize the power-dissipation period. However, this can  
degrade accuracy due to the current-sense amplifier’s  
input offset (0.25mV typ). See the Typical Operating  
Characteristics to estimate the charge-current accuracy  
at various set points.  
Automatic Power-Source Selection  
The MAX17005B/MAX17006B/MAX17015B use an  
external charge pump to drive the gate of an n-channel  
adapter selection switch (N3 and Q1a). In Figure 1,  
when the adapter is present, BST is biased 5V above  
V
so that N3 and Q1a are on, and Q1b is off.  
ADAPTER  
As long as the adapter is present, even though the  
charger is off, the power stage forces a refresh pulse to  
the BST charge pump every 5ms.  
Setting Input-Current Limit  
The total input current, from a wall adapter or other DC  
source, is the sum of the system supply current and the  
current required by the charger. When the input current  
exceeds the set input-current limit, the controller  
decreases the charge current to provide priority to sys-  
tem load current. System current normally fluctuates as  
portions of the system are powered up or down. The  
input-current-limit circuit reduces the power require-  
ment of the AC wall adapter, which reduces adapter  
cost. As the system supply rises, the available charge  
current drops linearly to zero. Thereafter, the total input  
current can increase without limit.  
When the adapter voltage is removed, the charger  
stops generating BST refresh pulses and N4 forces N2  
off, Q1b turns on and supplies power to the system  
from the battery.  
In Figure 1, D1 must have low forward-voltage drop and  
low reverse-leakage current to ensure sufficient gate  
drive at N3 and Q1a. A 100mA, low reverse-leakage  
Schottky diode is the right choice.  
Analog Input Current-Monitor Output  
Use IINP to monitor the system-input current, which is  
sensed across CSSP and CSSN. The voltage at IINP is  
proportional to the input current:  
The total input current is the sum of the device supply cur-  
rent, the charger input current, and the system load cur-  
rent. The total input current can be estimated as follows:

In the MAX17005B/MAX17006B/MAX17015B, the volt-  
age across CSSP and CSSN is constant at 60mV.  
Choose the current-sense resistor, RS1, to set the input  
current limit. For example, for 4A input current limit,  
choose RS1 = 15mΩ. For the input current-limit set-  
tings, which cannot be achievable with standard sense  
resistor values, use a resistive voltage-divider between  
CSSP and CSSN to tune the setting (Figure 4).

ISET must be released to the correct control level within  
300ms.

AC Adapter Detection  
The MAX17005B/MAX17006B/MAX17015B include a  
hysteretic comparator that detects the presence of an  
AC power adapter. When ACIN is lower than 2.1V, the  
open-drain ACOK output becomes high impedance.  
Connect a 10kΩ pullup resistance between LDO and  
ACOK. Use a resistive voltage-divider from the  
adapter’s output to the ACIN pin to set the appropriate  
detection threshold. Select the resistive voltage-divider  
so that the voltage on ACIN does not to exceed its  
absolute maximum rating (6V).  
____________________DC-DC Converter  
The MAX17005B/MAX17006B/MAX17015B employ a  
synchronous step-down DC-DC converter with an n-  
channel high-side MOSFET switch and an n-channel  
low-side synchronous rectifier. The charger features a  
controlled inductor current-ripple architecture, current-  
mode control scheme with cycle-by-cycle current limit.  
6/MAX7015B  
The controller’s off-time (t  
) is adjusted to keep the  
OFF  
high-side MOSFET junction temperature constant. In  
this way, the controller switches faster when the high-  
side MOSFET has available thermal capacity. This  
allows the inductor current ripple and the output-volt-  
age ripple to decrease so that smaller and cheaper  
components can be used. The controller can also oper-  
ate in discontinuous conduction mode for improved  
light-load efficiency.  
LDO Regulator and V  
AA  
An integrated low-dropout (LDO) linear regulator pro-  
vides a 5.4V supply derived from DCIN, and delivers  
over 40mA of load current. Do not use the LDO to  
external loads greater than 10mA. The LDO powers the  
gate drivers of the n-channel MOSFETs. See the  
MOSFET Drivers section. Bypass LDO to PGND with a  
4.7μF ceramic capacitor. V  
is a 4.2V reference sup-  
AA  
plied by DCIN. V biases most of the control circuitry,  
AA  
and should be bypassed to AGND with a 1μF or  
greater ceramic capacitor.

Figure 6. DC-DC Converter Functional Diagram  
The operation of the DC-DC controller is determined by  
the following five comparators as shown in the function-  
al diagram in Figures 2 and 6:  
The high-side MOSFET on-time is terminated when  
the current-sense signal exceeds 11A. A new cycle  
cannot start until the IMAX comparator’s output  
goes low.  
The IMIN comparator triggers a pulse in discontinu-  
ous mode when the accumulated error is too high.  
IMIN compares the control signal (LVC) against  
• The ZCMP comparator provides zero-crossing detec-  
tion during discontinuous conduction. ZCMP com-  
pares the current-sense feedback signal to 1A (RS2  
= 10mΩ). When the inductor current is lower than  
the 1A threshold, the comparator output is high,  
and DLO is turned off.  
10mV (referred at V  
- V  
). When LVC is less  
CSIN  
CSIP  
than this threshold, DHI and DLO are both forced  
low. Indirectly, IMIN sets the peak inductor current  
in discontinuous mode.  
The CCMP comparator is used for current-mode  
regulation in continuous-conduction mode. CCMP  
compares LVC against the inductor current. The  
high-side MOSFET on-time is terminated when the  
CSI voltage is higher than LVC.  
The OVP comparator is used to prevent overvoltage  
at the output due to battery removal. OVP com-  
pares BATT against the VCTL. When BATT is  
100mV/cell above the set value, the OVP compara-  
tor output goes high, and the high-side MOSFET  
on-time is terminated. DHI and DLO remain off until  
the OVP condition is removed.  
The IMAX comparator provides a secondary cycle-  
by-cycle current limit. IMAX compares CSI to  
110mV (corresponding to 11A when RS2 = 10mΩ).

At the end of the computed off-time, the controller initi-  
ates a new cycle if the control point (LVC) is greater  
than 10mV (V - V referred), and the charge  
CC, CCI, CCS, and LVC Control Blocks  
The MAX17005B/MAX17006B/MAX17015B control  
input current (CCS control loop), charge current (CCI  
control loop), or charge voltage (CC control loop),  
depending on the operating condition. The three con-  
trol loops, CC, CCI, and CCS are brought together  
internally at the lowest voltage clamp (LVC) amplifier.  
The output of the LVC amplifier is the feedback control  
signal for the DC-DC controller. The minimum voltage  
at the CC, CCI, or CCS appears at the output of the  
LVC amplifier and clamps the other control loops to  
within 0.3V above the control point. Clamping the other  
two control loops close to the lowest control loop  
ensures fast transition with minimal overshoot when  
switching between different control loops (see the  
Compensation section). The CCS and CCI loops are  
compensated internally, and the CC loop is compen-  
sated externally.  
CSIP  
CSIN  
current is less than the cycle-by-cycle current limit.  
Restated another way, IMIN must be high, IMAX must  
be low, and OVP must be low for the controller to initi-  
ate a new cycle. If the peak inductor current exceeds  
the IMAX comparator threshold or the output voltage  
exceeds the OVP threshold, then the on-time is termi-  
nated. The cycle-by-cycle current limit effectively pro-  
tects against overcurrent and short-circuit faults.  
If during the off-time the inductor current goes to zero,  
the ZCMP comparator output pulls high, turning off the  
low-side MOSFET. Both the high- and low-side  
MOSFETs are turned off until another cycle is ready to  
begin. ZCMP causes the MAX17005B/MAX17006B/  
MAX17015B to enter into the discontinuous conduction  
mode (see the Discontinuous Conduction section).  
Continuous-Conduction Mode  
With sufficiently large charge current, the MAX17005B/  
MAX17006B/MAX17015Bs’ inductor current never  
crosses zero, which is defined as continuous-conduc-  
tion mode. The controller starts a new cycle by turning  
on the high-side MOSFET and turning off the low-side  
MOSFET. When the charge-current feedback signal  
(CSI) is greater than the control point (LVC), the CCMP  
comparator output goes high and the controller initiates  
the off-time by turning off the high-side MOSFET and  
turning on the low-side MOSFET. The operating fre-  
quency is governed by the off-time and is dependent  
Discontinuous Conduction  
The MAX17005B/MAX17006B/MAX17015B can also  
operate in discontinuous conduction mode to ensure that  
the inductor current is always positive. The MAX17005B/  
MAX17006B/MAX17015B enter discontinuous conduction  
mode when the output of the LVC control point falls below  
10mV (referred at V  
- V  
). For RS2 = 10mΩ, this  
CSIP  
CSIN  
corresponds to a peak inductor current of 1A.  
In discontinuous mode, a new cycle is not started until  
the LVC voltage rises above IMIN. Discontinuous mode  
operation can occur during conditioning charge of  
overdischarged battery packs, when the charge cur-  
rent has been reduced sufficiently by the CCS control  
loop, or when the charger is in constant-voltage mode  
with a nearly full battery pack.

MOSFET Drivers  
The DHI and DLO outputs are optimized for driving  
moderate-sized power MOSFETs. The MOSFET drive  
capability is the same for both the low-side and high-  
sides switches. This is consistent with the variable duty  
factor that occurs in the notebook computer environ-  
ment where the battery voltage changes over a wide  
range. There must be a low-resistance, low-inductance  
path from the DLO driver to the MOSFET gate to pre-  
vent shoot-through. Otherwise, the sense circuitry in the  
MAX17005B/MAX17006B interprets the MOSFET gate  
as off while there is still charge left on the gate. Use  
very short, wide traces measuring 10 to 20 squares or  
fewer (1.25mm to 2.5mm wide if the MOSFET is 25mm  
from the device).

The high-side driver (DHI) swings from LX to 5V above  
LX (BST) and has a typical impedance of 1.5Ω sourc-  
ing and 0.8Ω sinking. The strong high-side MOSFET  
driver eliminates most of the power dissipation due to  
switching losses. The low-side driver (DLO) swings  
from LDO to ground and has a typical impedance of 3Ω  
sinking and 3Ω sourcing. This helps prevent DLO from  
being pulled up when the high-side switch turns on due  
to capacitive coupling from the drain to the gate of the  
low-side MOSFET. This places some restrictions on the  
MOSFETs that can be used. Using a low-side  
MOSFET with smaller gate-to-drain capacitance can  
prevent these problems.

Inductor Selection  
The selection of the inductor has multiple trade-offs  
between efficiency, transient response, size, and cost.  
Small inductance is cheap and small, and has a better  
transient response due to higher slew rate; however, the  
efficiency is lower because of higher RMS current. High  
inductance results in lower ripple so that the need of the  
output capacitors for output-voltage ripple goes low.  
V
DCIN  
The input capacitors should be sized so that the tem-  
perature rise due to ripple current in continuous conduc-  
tion does not exceed approximately 10°C. The  
maximum ripple current occurs at 50ꢀ duty factor or  
V
= 2 x V  
, which equates to 0.5 x I  
. If the

CHG  
application of interest does not achieve the maximum  
value, size the input capacitors according to the worst-  
case conditions.  
The MAX17005B/MAX17006B/MAX17015B combine all  
the inductor trade-offs in an optimum way by controlling  
switching frequency. High-frequency operation permits  
the use of a smaller and cheaper inductor, and conse-  
quently results in smaller output ripple and better tran-  
sient response.  
Output Capacitor Selection  
The output capacitor absorbs the inductor ripple cur-  
rent and must tolerate the surge current delivered from  
the battery when it is initially plugged into the charger.  
As such, both capacitance and ESR are important  
parameters in specifying the output capacitor as a filter  
and to ensure the stability of the DC-DC converter (see  
the Compensation section.) Beyond the stability  
requirements, it is often sufficient to make sure that the  
output capacitor’s ESR is much lower than the battery’s  
ESR. Either tantalum or ceramic capacitors can be  
used on the output. Ceramic devices are preferable  
because of their good voltage ratings and resilience to  
surge currents. Choose the output capacitor based on:  
The charge current, ripple, and operating frequency  
(off-time) determine the inductor characteristics. For  
optimum efficiency, choose the inductance according  
to the following equation:

inductor size and efficiency. Higher inductor values

paths.  
Setting Input Current Limit  
The input current limit should be set based on the cur-  
rent capability of the AC adapter and the tolerance of  
the input current limit. The upper limit of the input cur-  
rent threshold should never exceed the adapter’s mini-  
mum available output current. For example, if the  
adapter’s output current rating is 5A 10ꢀ, the input  
current limit should be selected so that its upper limit is  
less than 5A × 0.9 = 4.5A. Since the input current-limit  
accuracy of the MAX17005B/MAX17006B/MAX17015B  
is 3ꢀ, the typical value of the input current limit should  
be set at 4.5A/1.03 4.36A. The lower limit for input cur-  
rent must also be considered. For chargers at the low  
end of the specification, the input current limit for this  
example could be 4.36A × 0.95 or approximately 4.14A.  
e) Connect C to high-side MOSFET (10mm max  
IN  
length).  
f) Minimize the LX node (MOSFETs, rectifier cath-  
ode, inductor (15mm max length)). Keep LX on  
one side of the PCB to reduce EMI radiation.  
Ideally, surface-mount power components are flush  
against one another with their ground terminals  
almost touching. These high-current grounds are  
then connected to each other with a wide, filled  
zone of top-layer copper, so they do not go through  
vias. The resulting top-layer subground plane is  
connected to the normal inner-layer ground plane  
at the paddle. Other high-current paths should also  
be minimized, but focusing primarily on short  
ground and current-sense connections eliminates  
approximately 90ꢀ of all PCB layout problems.  
Layout and Bypassing  
Bypass DCIN with a 0.1μF ceramic capacitor to ground  
(Figure 1). N1 and N2 protect the MAX17005B/  
MAX17006B/MAX17015B when the DC power source  
input is reversed. Bypass V , CSSP, and LDO as shown  
AA  
in Figure 1.  
2) Place the IC and signal components. Keep the  
main switching node (LX node) away from sensitive  
analog components (current-sense traces and V  
AA  
capacitor). Important: The IC must be no further  
than 10mm from the current-sense resistors. Quiet  
Good PCB layout is required to achieve specified noise  
immunity, efficiency, and stable performance. The PCB  
layout designer must be given explicit instructions—  
preferably, a sketch showing the placement of the  
power switching components and high current routing.  
Refer to the PCB layout in the MAX17005B/MAX17006B/  
MAX17015B Evaluation Kit for examples. A ground  
plane is essential for optimum performance. In most  
applications, the circuit is located on a multilayer  
board, and full use of the four or more copper layers is  
recommended. Use the top layer for high-current con-  
nections, the bottom layer for quiet connections, and  
the inner layers for an uninterrupted ground plane.  
connections to V  
and CC should be returned to a  
AA  
separate ground (AGND) island. There is very little  
current flowing in these traces, so the ground island  
need not be very large. When placed on an inner  
layer, a sizable ground island can help simplify the  
layout because the low-current connections can be  
made through vias. The ground pad on the backside  
of the package should also be connected to this  
quiet ground island.  
3) Keep the gate drive traces (DHI and DLO) as short  
as possible (L < 20mm), and route them away from  
the current-sense lines and V . These traces  
AA  
should also be relatively wide (W > 1.25mm).  
Use the following step-by-step guide:  
4) Place ceramic bypass capacitors close to the IC.  
The bulk capacitors can be placed further away.  
Place the current-sense input filter capacitors under  
the part, connected directly to the PGND pin.  
1) Place the high-power connections first, with their  
grounds adjacent:  
a) Minimize the current-sense resistor trace lengths,  
and ensure accurate current sensing with Kelvin  
connections.  
5) Use a single-point star ground placed directly  
below the part at the PGND pin. Connect the power  
ground (ground plane) and the quiet ground island  
at this location.  
b) Minimize ground trace lengths in the high-current  
paths.  
c) Minimize other trace lengths in the high-current  
paths.
