Charge Algorithm
The bq2954 uses a two-phase fast-charge algorithm. In
phase 1, the bq2954 regulates constant current until the
voltage on the BAT pin, VBAT, rises to the internal
threshold, VREG. The bq2954 then transitions to phase 2
and regulates constant voltage (VBAT = VREG) until the
charging current falls below the programmed IMIN
threshold. Fast charge then terminates, and the bq2954
enters the Charge Complete state. (See Figure 2.)
Charge Qualification
The bq2954 starts a charge cycle when power is applied
while a battery is present or when a battery is inserted.
Figure 2 shows the state diagram for the bq2954. The
bq2954 first checks that the battery temperature is
within the allowed, user-configurable range. If the tem-
perature is out of range, the bq2954 remains in the
QUALIFICATION state (S01) and waits until the battery
temperature and voltage are within the allowed range.
If during any state of charge, a temperature excursion
occurs HOT, the bq2954 proceeds to the DONE state
(S04) and indicates this state on the LED outputs and
provides no current. If this occurs, the bq2954 remains
in the DONE state unless the following two conditions
are met:
I Temperature falls within valid charge range
I VBAT falls below the internal threshold,VRCHG
If these two conditions are met, a new charge cycle be-
gins. During any state of charge, if a temperature ex-
cursion occurs COLD, the bq2954 terminates charge and
returns to the QUALIFICATION state (S01). Charge re-
starts if VBAT and temperature are in valid range.
When the temperature and voltage are valid, the bq2954
enters the CONDITIONING state (S02) and regulates
current to ICOND (=IMAX/10). After an initial holdoff pe-
riod tHO (which prevents the IC from reacting to tran-
sient voltage spikes that may occur when charge current
is first applied), the IC begins monitoring VBAT. If VBAT
does not rise to at least VMIN before the expiration of
