Boost Mode Operation
In 32 second mode, when the OTG pin is in active status or the bit of operation mode (OPA_MODE) at control
register is set to 1, the bq24150A/1A operates in boost mode and delivers the power to VBUS from the battery.
At normal boost mode, bq24150A/1A converts the battery voltage (2.5 V to 4.5 V) to VBUS-B (about 5.05 V) and
delivers a current as much as I_(BO) (approximately 200 mA) to support other USB OTG devices connected to the
USB connector.
PWM Controller in Boost Mode
Similar to charge mode operation, in boost mode, the bq24150A/1A provides an integrated, fixed 3 MHz
frequency voltage-mode controller to regulate output voltage at PMID pin (VPMID), as shown in Figure 22. The
voltage control loop is internally compensated using a Type-III compensation scheme that provides enough
phase margin for stable operation with a wide load range and battery voltage range
In boost mode, the input N-MOSFET (Q1) prevents battery discharge when VBUS pin is overloaded.
Cycle-by-cycle current limit is sensed through the internal sense MOSFET for Q3. The cycle-by-cycle current limit
threshold for Q3 is set to a nominal 1-A peak current. Synchronous operation is used in PWM mode to minimize
power losses.
Boost Start Up
To prevent the inductor saturation and limit the inrush current, a soft-start control is applied during the boost start
up.
PFM Mode at Light Load
In boost mode, the bq2450A/1A operates in pulse skipping mode (PFM mode) to reduce the power loss and
improve the converter efficiency at light load condition. During boosting, the PWM converter is turned off once
the inductor current is less than 75 mA; and the PWM is turned back on only when the voltage at PMID pin drops
to about 99.5% of the rated output voltage. A unique pre-set circuit is used to make the smooth transition
between PWM and PFM mode.
Safety Timer in Boost Mode
At the beginning of boost operation, the bq24150A/1A starts a 32-second timer that can be reset by host through
I²C interface. Writing "1" to reset bit of TMR_RST in the control register resets the 32-second timer and
TMR_RST is automatically set to "0" after the 32-second timer is reset. To keep in boost mode, the host must
reset the 32-second timer repeatedly. Once the 32-second timer expires, the bq24150A/1A turns off the boost
converter, enunciate the fault pulse in STAT pin and set fault status bits in status register. Fault condition is
cleared by POR or host control.
Protection in Boost Mode
Output Overvoltage Protection
The bq24150A/1A provides a built-in overvoltage protection to protect the device and other components against
damage if the VBUS voltage goes too high. When an overvoltage condition is detected, the bq24150A/1A turns
off the PWM converter, reset OPA_MODE bit to 0, sets fault status bits, and sends out fault pulse in STAT pin.
Once VBUS drops to the normal level, the boost starts after host sets OPA_MODE to "1", or the OTG pin
remains in active status.
