FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTIONS (continued)
Dynamic Power-Path Management (DPPM)
The theory of operation is the same as described in CASE 1, except that Q1 is restricted to the USB current
level selected by the ISET2 pin.
Note that the DPPM voltage, V(DPPM), is programmed as follows:
V(DPPM−REG) + I(DPPM) R(DPPM) SF
(2)
where
R(DPPM) is the external resistor connected between the DPPM and VSS pins.
I(DPPM) is the internal current source.
SF is the scale factor as specified in the specification table.
Feature Plots
Figure 5 illustrates DPPM and battery supplement modes as the output current (IOUT) is increased; channel 1
(CH1) VAC = 5.4 V; channel 2 (CH2) VOUT; channel 3 (CH3) IOUT = 0 to 2.2 A to 0 A; channel 4 (CH4) VBAT =
3.5 V; I(PGM-CHG) = 1 A. In typical operation, bq24070 (VOUT = 4.4 Vreg), through an AC adaptor overload condition
and recovery. The AC input is set for ~5.1 V (1.5 A current limit), I(CHG) = 1 A, V(DPPM-SET) = 3.7 V, V(DPPM-OUT) =
1.15 × V(DPPM-SET) = 4.26 V, VBAT = 3.5 V, Mode = H, and USB input is not connected. The output load is
increased from 0 A to ~2.2 A and back to 0 A as shown in the bottom waveform. As the IOUT load reaches 0.5 A,
along with the 1-A charge current, the adaptor starts to current limit, the output voltage drops to the DPPM-OUT
threshold of 4.26 V. This is DPPM mode. The AC input tracks the output voltage by the dropout voltage of the
AC FET. The battery charge current is then adjusted back as necessary to keep the output voltage from falling
any further. Once the output load current exceeds the input current, the battery has to supplement the excess
current and the output voltage falls just below the battery voltage by the dropout voltage of the battery FET. This
is the battery supplement mode. When the output load current is reduced, the operation described is reversed
as shown. If the DPPM-OUT voltage was set below the battery voltage, during input current limiting, the output
falls directly to the battery's voltage.
Under USB operation, when the loads exceeds the programmed input current thresholds a similar pattern is
observed. If the output load exceeds the available USB current, the output instantly goes into the battery
supplement mode.
