General Description
The bq2004E and bq2004H Fast
Charge ICs provide comprehensive
fast charge control functions together
with high-speed switching power con-
trol circuitry on a monolithic CMOS
device.
Integration of closed-loop current
control circuitry allows the bq2004
to be the basis of a cost-effective so-
lution for stand-alone and system-
integrated chargers for batteries of
one or more cells.
Switch-activated discharge-before-
charge allows bq2004E/H-based charg-
ers to support battery conditioning
and capacity determination.
High-efficiency power conversion is
accomplished using the bq2004E/H as
a hysteretic PWM controller for
switch-mode regulation of the charg-
ing current. The bq2004E/H may al-
ternatively be used to gate an exter-
nally regulated charging current.
Fast charge may begin on application
of the charging supply, replacement
of the battery, or switch depression.
For safety, fast charge is inhibited
unless/until the battery tempera-
ture and voltage are within config-
ured limits.
Temperature, voltage, and time are
monitored throughout fast charge.
Fast charge is terminated by any of
the following:
n Rate of temperature rise
(∆T/∆t)
n Peak voltage detection (PVD)
n Negative delta voltage (-∆V)
n Maximum voltage
n Maximum temperature
n Maximum time
After fast charge, optional top-off
and pulsed current maintenance
phases with appropriate display
mode selections are available.
The bq2004H differs from the
bq2004E only in that fast charge,
hold-off, and top-off time units have
been scaled up by a factor of two,
and the bq2004H provides different
display selections. Timing differ-
ences between the two ICs are illus-
trated in Table 1. Display differ-
ences are shown in Table 2.
