ISL78693
End-of-Charge (EOC) Current
The end-of-charge current, IEOC, sets the level at which the
charger starts to indicate the end of the charge with the STATUS
pin, as shown in Figure 21 on page 11. The charger actually does
not terminate charging until the end of the TIMEOUT, as
described in “Total Charge Time” on page 11. The IEOC is set to
60mA (typical) internal to the device by tying the IEOC node to
V2P8.
Charge Current Thermal Foldback
Overheating is always a concern in a linear charger. The
maximum power dissipation usually occurs at the beginning of a
charge cycle when the battery voltage is at its minimum, but the
charge current is at its maximum. The charge current thermal
foldback function in the ISL78693 frees users from the
overheating concern.
Figure 22 shows the current signals at the summing node of the
current error amplifier in “Block Diagram” on page 2. IR is the
reference and IT is the current from the temperature monitoring
block. The IT has no impact on the charge current until the
internal temperature reaches approximately +100°C (+85°C
Min) then IT rises at a rate of 1µA/°C. When IT rises, the current
control loop forces the sensed current ISEN to reduce at the same
rate. As a mirrored current, the charge current is 100,000 times
that of the sensed current and reduces at a rate of 100mA/°C.
For a charger with the constant charge current set at 1A, the
charge current is reduced to zero when the internal temperature
rises to +110°C. The actual charge current settles between
+100°C to +110°C.
The charge current should not drop below IEOC because of the
thermal foldback. For some extreme cases (if that does happen),
the charger does not indicate end-of-charge unless the battery
voltage is already above the recharge threshold.

NTC Thermistor
The ISL78693 uses two comparators (CP2 and CP3) to form a
window comparator, as shown in Figure 24. When the TEMP pin
voltage is “out of the window,” determined by the VTMIN and
VTMAX, the ISL78693 stops charging and indicates a fault
condition. When the temperature returns to the set range, the
charger restarts a charge cycle. The two MOSFETs, Q1 and Q2,
produce hysteresis for both upper and lower thresholds. The
temperature window is shown in Figure 23.

2.8V Bias Voltage
The ISL78693 provides a 2.8V voltage for biasing the internal
control and logic circuit. This voltage is also available for external
circuits such as the NTC thermistor circuit. The maximum
allowed external load is 2mA.

INTERFACE
As the TEMP pin voltage rises from low and exceeds the 1.4V
threshold, the under-temperature signal rises and does not clear
until the TEMP pin voltage falls below the 1.2V falling threshold.
Similarly, the over-temperature signal is given when the TEMP pin
voltage falls below the 0.35V threshold and does not clear until the
voltage rises above 0.406V. The actual accuracy of the 2.8V is not
important because all the thresholds and the TEMP pin voltage are
ratios determined by the resistor dividers, as shown in Figure 24.
