Detailed Description
The CN3065 is a linear battery charger designed primarily for charging single cell lithium-ion or
lithium-polymer batteries. Featuring an internal P-channel power MOSFET, the charger uses a
constant-current/constant-voltage to charge the batteries. Continuous charge current can be programmed up to
1000mA with an external resistor. No blocking diode or sense resistor is required. The on-chip 8-bit ADC can
adjust charging current automatically based on the output capability of input power supply, so CN3065 is ideally
suited for the solar-powered systems, or the applications that need to charge lithium-ion battery or lithium
polymer battery with an input power supply whose output capability is limited. The open-drain output
and indicates the charger’s status. The internal thermal regulation circuit reduces the programmed charge
current if the die temperature attempts to rise above a preset value of approximately 115℃. This feature protects
the CN3065 from excessive temperature, and allows the user to push the limits of the power handling capability
of a given circuit board without risk of damaging the CN3065 or the external components. Another benefit of
adopting thermal regulation is that charge current can be set according to typical, not worst-case, ambient
temperatures for a given application with the assurance that the charger will automatically reduce the current in
worst-case conditions.
The charge cycle begins when the voltage at the VIN pin rises above the UVLO level, a current set resistor is
connected from the ISET pin to ground. The pin outputs a logic low to indicate that the charge cycle is
ongoing. At the beginning of the charge cycle, if the voltage at FB pin is below 3V, the charger is in precharge
mode to bring the cell voltage up to a safe level for charging. The charger goes into the fast charge
constant-current mode once the voltage on the FB pin rises above 3V. In constant current mode, the charge
current is set by RISET. When the battery approaches the regulation voltage, the charge current begins to decrease
as the CN3065 enters the constant-voltage mode. When the current drops to charge termination threshold, the
charge cycle is terminated, is pulled low by an internal switch and pin assumes a high impedance
state to indicate that the charge cycle is terminated. The charge termination threshold is 10% of the current in
constant current mode. To restart the charge cycle, just remove the input voltage and reapply it. The charge cycle
can also be automatically restarted if the FB pin voltage falls below the recharge threshold. The on-chip
reference voltage, error amplifier and the resistor divider provide regulation voltage with 1% accuracy which can
meet the requirement of lithium-ion and lithium polymer batteries. When the input voltage is not present, the
charger goes into a sleep mode, dropping battery drain current to less than 3uA. This greatly reduces the current
drain on the battery and increases the standby time.
The charging profile is shown in the following figure:

Application Information
Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
An internal undervoltage lockout circuit monitors the input voltage and keeps the charger in shutdown mode
until VIN rises above the undervoltage lockout voltage. The UVLO circuit has a built-in hysteresis of 0.1V.
Sleep mode
There is an on-chip sleep comparator. The comparator keeps the charger in sleep mode if VIN falls below sleep
mode threshold(VBAT+40mv). Once in sleep mode, the charger will not come out of sleep mode until VIN rises
90mv above the battery voltage.
Precharge mode
At the beginning of a charge cycle, if the battery voltage is below 3V, the charger goes into precharge mode ,
and the charge current is 10% of fast charge current in constant current mode.
Charging Current limited by the Output capability of Input Power Supply
If the output capability of input power supply is less than the charging current set by the resistor at ISET pin,
then the on-chip 8-bit ADC will begin to function to adjust the charging current based on the output capability
of input power supply. In this case, the charging current may be less than the value set by the resistor at ISET
pin, but it is maximized to the output capability of input power supply on the condition that the input voltage at
VIN pin is no less than 4.35V, which is the minimum operating voltage of CN3065. So the charging current can
be set according to the maximum output capability of input power supply, not the worst case.
Adjusting the regulation voltage in constant voltage mode
The regulation voltage in constant voltage mode can be adjusted by an external resistor connecting between FB
pin and BAT pin as shown in Figure 5:

Figure 5 Adjusting Regulation Voltage in Constant Voltage Mode

In Figure 5, the regulation voltage in constant voltage mode will be given by the following equation:
Vbat ＝ 4.2＋3.04×10-6×Rx
Where,
Vbat is in volt
Rx is in ohm
Programming Charge Current
The formula for the battery charge current in constant current mode is:
ICH = 1800V / RISET
Where:
ICH is the charge current in ampere
RISET is the total resistance from the ISET pin to ground in ohm

For example, if 800mA charge current is required, calculate:

RISET = 1800V/0.8A = 2.25kΩ
For best stability over temperature and time, 1% metal film resistors are recommended. If the charger is in
constant-temperature or constant voltage mode, the charge current can be monitored by measuring the ISET pin
voltage, and the charge current is calculated as the following equation:
ICH = (VISET / RISET) × 900
Combine Two Power Inputs
Although the CN3065 allows charging from a solar power supply, a wall adapter or a USB port can also be used
to charge Li-Ion/Li-polymer batteries. Figure 6 shows an example of how to combine 2 power inputs. A
P-channel MOSFET, M1, is used to prevent back conducting into the 2nd power supply when the 1st power
supply is present and Schottky diode, D1, is used to prevent 2nd power supply loss through the 1kΩ pull-down
resistor.

Battery Temperature Sense
To prevent the damage caused by the very high or very low temperature done to the battery pack, the CN3065
continuously senses battery pack temperature by measuring the voltage at TEMP pin.
If VTEMP<(46%×VIN) for 0.15 seconds, it indicates that the battery temperature is too high or too low and the
charge cycle is suspended. If VTEMP>(46%×VIN) for 0.15 seconds, the charge cycle resumes.
The battery temperature sense function can be disabled by connecting TEMP pin to GND.
Recharge
After a charge cycle has terminated, if the battery voltage drops below the recharge threshold of 4.1V, a new
charge cycle will begin automatically.
Constant-Current/Constant-Voltage/Constant-Temperature
The CN3065 use a unique architecture to charge a battery in a constant-current, constant-voltage, constant
temperature fashion as shown in Figure 3. Amplifiers Iamp, Vamp, and Tamp are used in three separate
feedback loops to force the charger into constant-current, constant-voltage, or constant-temperature mode,
respectively. In constant current mode the charge current delivered to the battery equal to 1800V/RISET. If the
power dissipation of the CN3065 results in the junction temperature approaching 115℃, the amplifier Tamp will
begin decreasing the charge current to limit the die temperature to approximately 115℃. As the battery voltage
rises, the CN3065 either returns to constant-current mode or it enters constant voltage mode straight from
constant-temperature mode.
Open-Drain Status Outputs
The CN3065 have 2 open-drain status outputs: and . is pulled low when the charger is in
charging status, otherwise becomes high impedance. is pulled low if the charger is in charge
termination status, otherwise becomes high impedance.
When the battery is not present, the charger charges the output capacitor to the regulation voltage quickly, then
the BAT pin’s voltage decays slowly to recharge threshold because of low leakage current at BAT pin, which
results in a 100mv ripple waveform at BAT pin, in the meantime, pin outputs a pulse to indicate that the
battery’s absence. The pulse’s frequency is around 10Hz when a 4.7uF output capacitor is used.
The open drain status output that is not used should be tied to ground.
VIN Bypass Capacitor CIN
Many types of capacitors can be used for input bypassing, CIN is typically a 22uF capacitor.
For the consideration of the bypass capacitor, please refer to the Application Note AN102 from our website.
Stability
Typically a 4.7uF capacitor from BAT pin to GND is required to stabilize the feedback loop.
REV 1.0 9
In constant current mode, the stability is also affected by the impedance at the ISET pin . With no additional
capacitance on the ISET pin, the loop is stable with current set resistors values as high as 50KΩ. However,
additional capacitance on ISET pin reduces the maximum allowed current set resistor. The pole frequency at
ISET pin should be kept above 200KHz. Therefore, if ISET pin is loaded with a capacitance C, the following
equation should be used to calculate the maximum resistance value for RISET:
RISET < 1／(6.28×2×105×C)
In order to measure average charge current or isolate capacitive load from ISET pin, a simple RC filter can be
used on ISET pin as shown in Figure 7.

Board Layout Considerations

1. RISET at ISET pin should be as close to CN3065 as possible, also the parasitic capacitance at ISET pin
should be kept as small as possible.
2. The capacitance at VIN pin and BAT pin should be as close to CN3065 as possible.
3. During charging, CN3065’s temperature may be high, the NTC thermistor should be placed far enough to
CN3065 so that the thermistor can reflect the battery’s temperature correctly.
4. It is very important to use a good thermal PC board layout to maximize charging current. The thermal path
for the heat generated by the IC is from the die to the copper lead frame through the package lead(especially
the ground lead) to the PC board copper, the PC board copper is the heat sink. The footprint copper pads
should be as wide as possible and expand out to larger copper areas to spread and dissipate the heat to the
surrounding ambient. Feedthrough vias to inner or backside copper layers are also useful in improving the
overall thermal performance of the charger. Other heat sources on the board, not related to the charger,
must also be considered when designing a PC board layout because they will affect overall temperature rise
and the maximum charge current.
The ability to deliver maximum charge current under all conditions require that the exposed metal pad on
the back side of the CN3065 package be soldered to the PC board ground. Failure to make the thermal
contact between the exposed pad on the backside of the package and the copper board will result in larger
thermal resistance.
