NCP1835

Integrated Li−Ion Charger

NCP1835 is an integrated linear charger specifically designed to
charge 1−cell Li−Ion batteries with a constant current, constant
voltage (CCCV) profile. It can charge at currents of up to 1.0 A.
Its low input voltage capability, adjustable charge current, ability
to maintain regulation without a battery, and its onboard thermal
foldback make it versatile enough to charge from a variety of wall http://onsemi.com
adapters. The NCP1835 can charge from a standard voltage−source
wall adapter as a CCCV charger, or from a current limited adapter to MARKING
limit power dissipation in the pass device. DIAGRAMS

PIN FUNCTION DESCRIPTION

Pin Symbol Description
1 VCC Input Supply Voltage. Provides power to the charger. This pin should be bypassed with at least a 4.7 mF ceramic
capacitor to ground.

2 FAULT An open−drain output indicating fault status. This pin is pulled LOW under any fault conditions. A FAULT condition
resets the counter.

3 CFLG An open−drain output indicating charging or end−of−charge states. The CFLG pin is pulled LOW when the
charger is charging a battery. It is forced open when the charge current drops to IEOC. This high impedance mode
will be latched until a recharge cycle or a new charge cycle starts.
4 TIMER Connecting a timing capacitor, CTIME between this pin and ground to set end−of−charge timeout timer.
TIMEOUT = 14*CTIME/1.0 nF (minute). The total charge for CC and CV mode is limited to the length of
TIMEOUT. Trickle Charge has a time limit of 1/8 of the TIMEOUT period.
5 GND Ground pin of the IC. For thermal consideration, it is recommended to solder the exposed metal pad on the
backside of the package to ground.

6 EN Enable logic input. Connect the EN pin to LOW to disable the charger or leave it floating to enable the charger.
7 V2P8 2.8 V reference voltage output. This pin outputs a 2.8 V voltage source when an adapter is present. The
maximum loading for this pin is 2.0 mA.

8 ISEL The full charge current (IFCHG) can be set by connecting a resistor, RISEL, from the ISEL pin to ground.
IFCHG = (0.8*105 / RISEL) A, the pre−charge current IPC = (0.1*IFCHG) A and the end−of−charge threshold current
IEOC = (0.1*IFCHG) A. For best accuracy, a resistor with 1% tolerance is recommended.
9 VSNS Battery voltage sense pin. Connect this as close as possible to the battery input connection.
10 BAT Charge current output. A minimum 4.7 mF capacitor is needed for stability when the battery is not attached.

the ground copper area and then connected to a ground
plane through thermal vias. The maximum recommended
thermal via diameter is 12 mils (0.305 mm). Limited by the
size of the pad, six thermal vias should allow for proper
thermal regulation without sacrificing too much copper
area within the pad. The copper pad is the primary heatsink
and should be connected to as much top layer metal as GND
possible to minimize the thermal impedance. Figure 21
illustrates graphically the recommended connection for the Figure 21. Recommended Footprint
exposed pad with vias.
