1.6A Dynamic Battery Charger and Power Manager
Applications Information
Adapter or USB Port Power Source
In the adapter mode, constant current charge levels up
to 1.6A may be programmed by the user. The ADP input
will operate over a range from 4.35V to 5.5V.
The constant fast charge current for the adapter input
mode is set by the R_SET resistor connected between the
ADPSET pin and ground. The battery preconditioning or
trickle charge current is fixed at 10% of the programmed
fast charge constant current level. Refer to Table 3 for
recommended R_SET values for a desired constant current
charge level. Battery charging states will be indicated via
the STAT1 and STAT2 display LEDs for the AAT3672-1
and -2, and via STAT1 for the AAT3672-3. Please refer to
the Battery Charge Status Indication discussion on page
19 of this datasheet for further details.
The following equation may be used to approximate the
ADP charge reduction threshold above or below 4.5V:

Charge Reduction
Under normal operation, the AAT3672 should be operat-
ed from an adapter power source with a sufficient capac-
ity to supply the desired constant charge current plus
any additional load which may be placed on the source
by the operating system. In the event that the power
source to the ADP pin is unable to provide the pro-
grammed fast charge constant current, or if the system
under charge must also share supply current with other
functions, the AAT3672 will automatically reduce the ADP
fast charge current level to maintain the integrity of the
source supply, power the operating system, and charge
the battery cell with the remaining available current.
The ADP charge reduction system becomes active when
the voltage on the ADP input falls below the ADP charge
reduction threshold (V_{CHR_TH}), which is preset to 4.5V.
Should the input supply drop below the V_{CHR_TH} threshold,
the charge reduction system will reduce the fast charge
current level in a linear fashion until the voltage sensed
on the ADP input recovers to a point above the charge
reduction threshold voltage. The ADP charge reduction
threshold (V_{CHR_TH}) may be externally set to a value other
than 4.5V by placing a resistor divider network between
the ADP pin and ground with the center connected to the
CHRADP pin. The ADP charge reduction feature may be
disabled by shorting the CHRADP pin directly to the ADP
input pin.

Adapter Input Charge
Inhibit and Resume
The AAT3672 has an under-voltage lockout (UVLO) and
power on reset feature to protect the charger IC in the
event the input supply to the adapter pin drops below the
UVLO threshold. Under a UVLO condition, the charger will
suspend the charging process. When power is re-applied
to the adapter pin or the UVLO condition recovers, the
system charge control will asses the state of charge on
the battery cell and will automatically resume charging in
the appropriate mode for the condition of the battery.
Programming Fast Charge Current
The constant current charge level is user programmed
with a set resistor connected between the ADPSET pin
and ground. The accuracy of the constant charge cur-
rent, as well as the preconditioning trickle charge cur-
rent, is dominated by the tolerance of the set resistor
used. For this reason, a 1% tolerance metal film resistor
is recommended for the set resistor function. The con-
stant charge current levels from 100mA to 1.6A may be
set by selecting the appropriate value from Table 3.
