S5PV210 Processors
• Three Step-Down DC/DC Converters
• Four Low-Dropout Linear Regulators
• Integrated ActivePathTM Charger
• I2CTM Serial Interface
• Advanced Enable/Disable Sequencing Controller
• Minimal External Components
This device features three step-down DC/DC
converters and four low-noise, low-dropout linear
regulators, along with a complete battery charging
solution featuring the advanced ActivePathTM
system-power selection function.
• Tiny 5×5mm TQFN55-40 Package

SYSTEM CONTROL INFORMATION
Interfacing with the Samsung S5PC100, S5PC110 and S5PV210 Processors
The ACT8937 is optimized for use in applications
using the S5PC100, S5PC110 and S5PV210
processors, supporting both the power domains as
well as the signal interface for these processors.
between these devices benefits by doing so, both
the ACT8937 pin names and the Samsung
processor pin names are provided. When this is
done, the S5PV210 pin names are located after the
ACT8937 pin names, and are italicized and located
inside parentheses. For example, PWREN
(XPWRRGTON) refers to the logic signal applied to
the ACT8937's PWREN input, identifying that it is
driven from the S5PV210's XPWRRGTON output.
Likewise, OUT1 (VDD_IO) refers to ACT8937's
OUT1 pin, identifying that it is connected to the
S5PV210's VDD_IO power domain.
The following paragraphs describe how to design
ACT8937 with S5PV210 Processor, but the design
guidelines are directly applicable to S5PC100 and
S5PC110 as well.
While the ACT8937 supports many possible
configurations for powering these processors, one
of the most common configurations is detailed in
this datasheet. In general, this document refers to
the ACT8937 pin names and functions. However, in
cases where the description of interconnections

nPBSTAT Output
Control Signals
nPBSTAT is an open-drain output that reflects the
state of the nPBIN input; nPBSTAT is asserted low
whenever nPBIN is asserted, and is high-Z
otherwise. This output is typically used as an
interrupt signal to the processor, to initiate a
software-programmable routine such as operating
mode selection or to open a menu. Connect
nPBSTAT to an appropriate supply voltage
(typically OUT1) through a 10kꢀ or greater resistor.
Enable Inputs
The ACT8937 features a variety of control inputs,
which are used to enable and disable outputs
depending upon the desired mode of operation.
PWREN, PWRHLD are logic inputs, while nPBIN is
a unique, multi-function input. Refer to Table 5 for a
description of which channels are controlled by
each input.
Figure 2:
nPBIN Multi-Function Input
nPBIN Input
ACT8937 features the nPBIN multi-function pin,
which combines system enable/disable control with
a hardware reset function. Select either of the two
pin functions by asserting this pin, either through a
direct connection to GA, or through a 50kꢀ resistor
to GA, as shown in Figure 2.
Manual Reset Function
The second major function of the nPBIN input is to
provide a manual-reset input for the processor. To
manually-reset the processor, drive nPBIN directly
to GA through a low impedance (less than 2.5kꢀ).
When this occurs, nRSTO immediately asserts low,
then remains asserted low until the nPBIN input is
de-asserted and the reset timeout period expires.

nRSTO Output
Control Sequences
nRSTO is an open-drain output which asserts low
upon startup or when manual reset is asserted via
the nPBIN input. When asserted on startup, nRSTO
remains low until reset timeout period expires after
OUT5 reaches its power-OK threshold. When
asserted due to manual-reset, nRSTO immediately
asserts low, then remains asserted low until the
nPBIN input is de-asserted and the reset timeout
period expires.
The ACT8937 features
a
variety of control
sequences that are optimized for supporting system
enable and disable, as well as SLEEP mode of the
Samsung S5PC100, S5PC110 and S5PV210
processors.
Enabling/Disabling Sequence
A typical enable sequence is initiated whenever the
following conditions occurs:
1) nPBIN is asserted low via 50Kꢀ resistance, or
Connect a 10kꢀ or greater pull-up resistor from
nRSTO to an appropriate voltage supply (typically
OUT1).
2) A valid input voltage is present at CHGINꢀ.
The enable sequence begins by enabling REG5.
When REG5 reaches its power-OK threshold,
nRSTO is asserted low, resetting the
microprocessor. REG2, REG3 and REG4 are
enabled after REG5 reaches its power-OK
threshold for 8ms2. When REG2 reaches its power-
OK threshold for 8ms2, REG1 and REG6 are
enabled. When REG2 reaches its power-OK
threshold for 16ms2, REG7 is enabled. If REG5 is
above its power-OK threshold when the reset timer
expires, nRSTO is de-asserted, allowing the
microprocessor to begin its boot sequence.
nIRQ Output
nIRQ is an open-drain output that asserts low any
time an interrupt is generated. Connect a 10kꢀ or
greater pull-up resistor from nIRQ to an appropriate
voltage supply. nIRQ is typically used to drive the
interrupt input of the system processor.
Many of the ACT8937's functions support interrupt-
generation as a result of various conditions. These
are typically masked by default, but may be
unmasked via the I2C interface. For more
information about the available fault conditions,
refer to the appropriate sections of this datasheet.
During the boot sequence, the microprocessor must
assert PWRHLD, holding REG1 and REG5, and
assert PWREN(XPWRRGTON), holding REG2,
REG3, REG4, REG6 and REG7 to ensure that the
system remains powered after nPBIN is released.
REG6 and REG7 can also be enabled/disabled via
I2C after microprocessor completes its boot
sequence.
Note that under some conditions a false interrupt
may be generated upon initial startup. For this
reason, it is recommended that the interrupt service
routine check and validate nSYSLEVMSK[-] and
nFLTMSK[-] bits before processing an interrupt
generated by these bits. These interrupts may be
validated by nSYSSTAT[-], OK[-] bits.
Once the power-up routine is completed, the
system remains enabled after the push-button is
released as long as either PWRHLD or PWREN are
asserted high. If the processor does not assert
PWRHLD before the user releases the push-button,
the boot-up sequence is terminated and all
regulators are disabled. This provides protection
against "false-enable", when the pushbutton is
accidentally depressed, and also ensures that the
system remains enabled only if the processor
successfully completes the boot-up sequence. To
disable REG6 (or REG7) via I2C after the power-up,
Push-Button Control
The ACT8937 is designed to initiate a system
enable sequence when the nPBIN multi-function
input is asserted. Once this occurs, a power-on
sequence commences, as described below. The
power-on sequence must complete and the
microprocessor must take control (by asserting
PWREN or PWRHLD) before nPBIN is de-asserted.
If the microprocessor is unable to complete its
power-up routine successfully before the user lets
the push-button go off, the ACT8937 automatically
shuts the system down. This provides protection
against accidental or momentary assertions of the
push-button. If desired, longer “push-and-hold”
times can be easily implemented by simply adding
an additional time delay before asserting PWREN
or PWRHLD.

nPBSTAT output. The actual disable sequence is
completely software-controlled, but typically

involved initiating various “clean-up” processes
before the processor finally de-asserts PWRHLD,
which disables REG1 and REG5 after push-button
is released. Since the processor loses power of
VDD_IO and VDD_Alive, it automatically de-asserts
PWREN (XPWRRGTON), and hence shuts the
system down by disabling REG2, REG3, REG4,
REG6 and REG7.
interrupt the processor should de-assert
PWREN(XPWRRGTON), disabling REG2, REG3,
REG4, REG6 and REG7. PWRHLD should remain
asserted during SLEEP mode so that REG1 and
REG5 remain enabled.
Waking up from SLEEP mode is typically initiated
when the user presses the push-button again,
which enables REG2, REG3, REG4, REG6 and
REG7 and asserts nPBSTAT. Processors should
respond by asserting PWREN(XPWRRGTON),
which holds REG2, REG3, REG4, REG6 and REG7
so that normal operation may resume. An external
interrupt , for instance a charger interrupt or a RTC
interrupt, can also initiate a wake up sequence.
When an external interrupt is sent to the processor,
the processor should response by getting itself
ready to wake up from SLEEP mode first, then
assert PWREN(XPWRRGTON), which enables
REG2, REG3, REG4, REG6 and REG7 so that the
normal operation may resume.
SLEEP Mode Sequence
The ACT8937 supports Samsung S5PC100,
S5PC110 and S5PV210 processors’ SLEEP mode
operation. Once a successful power-up routine has
been completed, SLEEP mode may be initiated
through
a
variety of software-controlled
mechanisms.
SLEEP mode is typically initiated when the user
presses the push-button during normal operation.
Pressing the push-button asserts the nPBIN input,
which asserts the nPBSTAT output, which
interrupts the processor. In response to this

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
I2C Interface
controlled by the CPU, but will typically initiate a
controlled shutdown sequence either or alert the
user that the battery is low. In this case the interrupt
is cleared when nSYSSTAT[-] is read via I2C.
The ACT8937 features an I2C interface that allows
advanced programming capability to enhance overall
system performance. To ensure compatibility with a
wide range of system processors, the I2C interface
supports clock speeds of up to 400kHz (“Fast-Mode”
operation) and uses standard I2C commands. I2C
write-byte commands are used to program the
ACT8937, and I2C read-byte commands are used to
read the ACT8937’s internal registers. The ACT8937
always operates as a slave device, and is addressed
using a 7-bit slave address followed by an eighth bit,
which indicates whether the transaction is a read-
operation or a write-operation, [1011011x].
2) If nSYSMODE[-] = 0, when VSYS falls below the
programmable threshold the ACT8937 shuts down,
immediately disabling all regulators. This option is
useful for implementing a programmable “under-
voltage lockout” function that forces the system off
when the battery voltage falls below the SYSLEV
threshold voltage. Since this option does not support
a controlled shutdown sequence, it is generally used
as a "fail-safe" to shut the system down when the
battery voltage is too low.
Table 6:
SDA is a bi-directional data line and SCL is a clock
input. The master device initiates a transaction by
issuing a START condition, defined by SDA
transitioning from high to low while SCL is high. Data
is transferred in 8-bit packets, beginning with the
MSB, and is clocked-in on the rising edge of SCL.
Each packet of data is followed by an “Acknowledge”
(ACK) bit, used to confirm that the data was
transmitted successfully.

Housekeeping Functions
Programmable System Voltage Monitor
The ACT8937 features a programmable system-
voltage monitor, which monitors the voltage at VSYS
and compares it to a programmable threshold
voltage. The programmable voltage threshold is
programmed by SYSLEV[3:0], as shown in Table 6.
The nSYSSTAT[-] bit reflects the output of an
internal voltage comparator that monitors VSYS
relative to the SYSLEV[-] voltage threshold, the
value of nSYSTAT[-] = 1 when VSYS is higher than
the SYSLEV[-] voltage threshold, and nSYSTAT[-] =
0 when VSYS is lower than the SYSLEV[-] voltage
threshold. Note that the SYSLEV[-] voltage threshold
is defined for falling voltages, and that the
comparator produces about 200mV of hysteresis at
VSYS. As a result, once VSYS falls below the
SYSLEV threshold, its voltage must increase by
more than about 200mV to clear that condition.
Precision Voltage Detector
The LBI input connects to one input of a precision
voltage comparator, which can be used to monitor a
system voltage such as the battery voltage. An
external resistive-divider network can be used to set
voltage monitoring thresholds, as shown in
Functional Block Diagram. The output of the
comparator is present at the nLBO open-drain
output.
Thermal Shutdown
The ACT8937 responds in one of two ways when the
voltage at VSYS falls below the SYSLEV[-] voltage
threshold:
The ACT8937 integrates thermal shutdown
protection circuitry to prevent damage resulting from
excessive thermal stress, as may be encountered
under fault conditions. This circuitry disables all
regulators if the ACT8937 die temperature exceeds
160°C, and prevents the regulators from being
enabled until the IC temperature drops by 20°C (typ).
1) If nSYSMODE[-] = 1 (default case), when VSYS
falls below the programmable threshold the
ACT8937 asserts nIRQ, providing a software “under-
voltage alarm”. The response to this interrupt is

Rev 0, 21-Sep-10
STEP-DOWN DC/DC REGULATORS
must be taken during the design process to ensure
stable operation over the full operating voltage and
temperature range. Ceramic capacitors are available
in a variety of dielectrics, each of which exhibits
different characteristics that can greatly affect
performance over their temperature and voltage
ranges.
General Description
The ACT8937 features three synchronous, fixed-
frequency, current-mode PWM step down converters
that achieve peak efficiencies of up to 97%. REG1
and REG2 are capable of supplying up to 1100mA of
output current, while REG3 supports up to 1200mA.
These regulators operate with a fixed frequency of
2MHz, minimizing noise in sensitive applications and
allowing the use of small external components.
Two of the most common dielectrics are Y5V and
X5R. Whereas Y5V dielectrics are inexpensive and
can provide high capacitance in small packages, their
capacitance varies greatly over their voltage and
temperature ranges and are not recommended for
DC/DC applications. X5R and X7R dielectrics are
more suitable for output capacitor applications, as
their characteristics are more stable over their
operating ranges, and are highly recommended.
100% Duty Cycle Operation
Each regulator is capable of operating at up to 100%
duty cycle. During 100% duty-cycle operation, the
high-side power MOSFET is held on continuously,
providing a direct connection from the input to the
output (through the inductor), ensuring the lowest
possible dropout voltage in battery powered
applications.
Inductor Selection
REG1, REG2, and REG3 utilize current-mode control
and a proprietary internal compensation scheme to
simultaneously simplify external component selection
and optimize transient performance over their full
operating range. These devices were optimized for
operation with 2.2μH inductors, although inductors in
the 1.5μH to 3.3μH range can be used. Choose an
inductor with a low DC-resistance, and avoid inductor
saturation by choosing inductors with DC ratings that
exceed the maximum output current by at least 30%.
Synchronous Rectification
REG1, REG2, and REG3 each feature integrated n-
channel synchronous rectifiers, maximizing efficiency
and minimizing the total solution size and cost by
eliminating the need for external rectifiers.
Soft-Start
When enabled, each output voltages tracks an
internal 400μs soft-start ramp, minimizing input
current during startup and allowing each regulator to
power up in a smooth, monotonic manner that is
independent of output load conditions.
Configuration Options
Output Voltage Programming
By default, each regulator powers up and regulates to
its default output voltage. Output voltage is selectable
by setting VSEL pin that when VSEL is low, output
voltage is programmed by VSET1[-] bits, and when
VSEL is high, output voltage is programmed by
VSET2[-] bits. However, once the system is enabled,
each regulator's output voltage may be independently
programmed to a different value, typically in order to
minimize the power consumption of the
microprocessor during some operating modes.
Program the output voltages via the I2C serial
interface by writing to the regulator's VSET1[-]
register if VSEL is low or VSET2[-] register if VSEL is
high as shown in Table 8.
Compensation
Each buck regulator utilizes current-mode control and
a proprietary internal compensation scheme to
simultaneously simplify external component selection
and optimize transient performance over its full
operating range. No compensation design is
required; simply follow a few simple guidelines
described below when choosing external
components.
Input Capacitor Selection
The input capacitor reduces peak currents and noise
induced upon the voltage source. A 4.7μF ceramic
capacitor is recommended for each regulator in most
applications.
Enable / Disable Control
During normal operation, each buck may be enabled
or disabled via the I2C interface by writing to that
regulator's ON[ ] bit. To enable the regulator set ON[ ]
to 1, to disable the regulator clear ON[ ] to 0.
Output Capacitor Selection
For most applications, 22μF ceramic output
capacitors are recommended for REG1, REG2 and
REG3.
Despite the advantages of ceramic capacitors, care

interface. If an output voltage is lower than the power-
OK threshold, typically 7% below the programmed
regulation voltage, that regulator's OK[ ] bit will be 0.
REG1, REG2, REG3 Turn-on Delay
Each of REG1, REG2 and REG3 features a
programmable Turn-on Delay which help ensure a
reliable qualification. This delay is programmed by
DELAY[2:0], as shown in Table 7.
If a DC/DC's nFLTMSK[-] bit is set to 1, the ACT8937
will interrupt the processor if that DC/DC's output
voltage falls below the power-OK threshold. In this
case, nIRQ will assert low and remain asserted until
the OK[ ] bit has been read via I2C.

High switching frequencies and large peak currents
make PC board layout an important part of step-down

result in instability or regulation errors.

Step-down DC/DCs exhibit discontinuous input
current, so the input capacitors should be placed as
close as possible to the IC, and avoiding the use of
via if possible. The inductor, input filter capacitor, and
output filter capacitor should be connected as close
together as possible, with short, direct, and wide
traces. The ground nodes for each regulator's power
loop should be connected at a single point in a star-
ground configuration, and this point should be
connected to the backside ground plane with multiple
via. The output node for each regulator should be
connected to its corresponding OUTx pin through the
shortest possible route, while keeping sufficient
distance from switching nodes to prevent noise
injection. Finally, the exposed pad should be directly
connected to the backside ground plane using
multiple via to achieve low electrical and thermal
resistance.
Operating Mode
By default, REG1, REG2, and REG3 each operate in
fixed-frequency PWM mode at medium to heavy
loads, while automatically transitioning to
a
proprietary power-saving mode at light loads in order
to maximize standby battery life. In applications
where low noise is critical, force fixed-frequency
PWM operation across the entire load current range,
at the expense of light-load efficiency, by setting the
MODE[ ] bit to 1.

Each DC/DC features a power-OK status bit that can
be read by the system microprocessor via the I2C

LOW-NOISE, LOW-DROPOUT LINEAR REGULATORS
to that LDO's ON[ ] bit. To enable the LDO set ON[ ]
to 1, to disable the LDO clear ON[ ] to 0.
General Description
REG4, REG5, REG6, and REG7 are low-noise,
low-dropout linear regulators (LDOs) that supply up
to 150mA, 150mA, 250mA, and 250mA,
respectively. Each LDO has been optimized to
achieve low noise and high-PSRR, achieving more
than 65dB PSRR at frequencies up to 10kHz.
REG4, REG5, REG6, REG7 Turn-on Delay
Each of REG4, REG5, REG6 and REG7 features a
programmable Turn-on Delay which help ensure a
reliable qualification. This delay is programmed by
DELAY[2:0], as shown in Table 7.
Output Current Limit
Output Discharge
Each LDO contains current-limit circuitry featuring a
current-limit fold-back function. During normal and
moderate overload conditions, the regulators can
support more than their rated output currents.
During extreme overload conditions, however, the
current limit is reduced by approximately 30%,
reducing power dissipation within the IC.
Each of the ACT8937’s LDOs features an optional
output discharge function, which discharges the
output to ground through a 1.5kꢀ resistance when
the LDO is disabled. This feature may be enabled
or disabled by setting DIS[-] via; set DIS[-] to 1 to
enable this function, clear DIS[-] to 0 to disable it.
Low-Power Mode
Compensation
Each of ACT8937's LDOs features a LOWIQ[-] bit
which, when set to 1, reduces the LDO's quiescent
current by about 16%, saving power and extending
battery lifetime.
The LDOs are internally compensated and require
very little design effort, simply select input and
output capacitors according to the guidelines below.
Input Capacitor Selection
OK[ ] and Output Fault Interrupt
Each LDO requires a small ceramic input capacitor
to supply current to support fast transients at the
input of the LDO. Bypassing each INL pin to GA
with 1μF. High quality ceramic capacitors such as
X7R and X5R dielectric types are strongly
recommended.
Each LDO features a power-OK status bit that can
be read by the system microprocessor via the
interface. If an output voltage is lower than the
power-OK threshold, typically 11% below the
programmed regulation voltage, the value of that
regulator's OK[-] bit will be 0.
Output Capacitor Selection
If a LDO's nFLTMSK[-] bit is set to 1, the ACT8937
will interrupt the processor if that LDO's output
voltage falls below the power-OK threshold. In this
case, nIRQ will assert low and remain asserted until
the OK[-] bit has been read via I2C.
Each LDO requires
a small ceramic output
capacitor for stability. Capacitance value is 1.5μF
for REG4 and REG5, 2.2μF for REG6 and REG7.
For best performance, each output capacitor should
be connected directly between the output and GA
pins, as close to the output as possible, and with a
short, direct connection. High quality ceramic
capacitors such as X7R and X5R dielectric types
are strongly recommended.
PCB Layout Considerations
PCB Layout Considerations The ACT8937’s LDOs
provide good DC, AC, and noise performance over
a wide range of operating conditions, and are
relatively insensitive to layout considerations. When
designing a PCB, however, careful layout is
necessary to prevent other circuitry from degrading
LDO performance.
Configuration Options
Output Voltage Programming
By default, each LDO powers up and regulates to
its default output voltage. Once the system is
enabled, each output voltage may be independently
programmed to a different value by writing to the
regulator's VSET[-] register via the I2C serial
interface as shown in Table 8.
A good design places input and output capacitors
as close to the LDO inputs and output as possible,
and utilizes a star-ground configuration for all
regulators to prevent noise-coupling through
ground. Output traces should be routed to avoid
close proximity to noisy nodes, particularly the SW
nodes of the DC/DCs.
Enable / Disable Control
During normal operation, each LDO may be
enabled or disabled via the I2C interface by writing

has a direct connection to the linear regulator
controller. Any noise injected onto REFBP will
directly affect the outputs of the linear regulators,
and therefore special care should be taken to
ensure that no noise is injected to the outputs via
REFBP. As with the LDO output capacitors, the
REFBP bypass capacitor should be placed as close
to the IC as possible, with short, direct connections
to the star-ground. Avoid the use of via whenever
possible. Noisy nodes, such as from the DC/DCs,
should be routed as far away from REFBP as
possible.

ActivePathTM CHARGER
General Description
In an input over-voltage condition this circuit limits
VSYS to 4.6V, protecting any circuitry connected to
VSYS from the over-voltage condition, which may
exceed this circuitry's voltage capability. This circuit
is capable of withstanding input voltages of up to
12V.
The ACT8937 features an advanced battery
charger that incorporates the patent-pending
ActivePath architecture for system power selection.
This combination of circuits provides a complete,
advanced battery-management system that
automatically selects the best available input
supply, manages charge current to ensure system
power availability, and provides a complete, high-
accuracy (±0.5%), thermally regulated, full-featured
single-cell linear Li+ charger that can withstand
input voltages of up to 12V.

ActivePath Architecture
The ActivePath architecture performs three
important functions:
Input Supply Overload Protection
1) System Configuration Optimization
2) Input Protection
The ActivePath circuitry monitors and limits the total
current drawn from the input supply to a value set
by the ACIN and CHGLEV inputs, as well as the
resistor connected to ISET. Drive ACIN to a logic-
low for “USB Mode”, which limits the current to
either 100mA, when CHGLEV is driven to a logic-
low, or 500mA, when CHGLEV is driven to a logic-
high. Drive ACIN to a logic-high for “AC-Mode”,
which limits the input current to 2A, typically.
3) Battery-Management
System Configuration Optimization
The ActivePath circuitry monitors the state of the
input supply, the battery, and the system, and
automatically reconfigures itself to optimize the
power system. If a valid input supply is present,
ActivePath powers the system from the input while
charging the battery in parallel. This allows the
battery to charge as quickly as possible, while
supplying the system. If a valid input supply is not
present, ActivePath powers the system from the
battery. Finally, if the input is present and the
system current requirement exceeds the capability
of the input supply, ActivePath allows system power
to be drawn from both the battery and the input
supply.
Input Under Voltage Lockout
If the input voltage applied to CHGIN falls below
3.5V (typ), an input under-voltage condition is
detected and the charger is disabled. Once an input
under-voltage condition is detected, a new charge
cycle will initiate when the input exceeds the under-
voltage threshold by at least 500mV.
Battery Management
The ACT8937 features a full-featured, intelligent
charger for Lithium-based cells, and was designed
specifically to provide a complete charging solution
with minimum system design effort.
Input Protection
Input Over-Voltage Protection
The core of the charger is a CC/CV (Constant-
Current/Constant-Voltage), linear-mode charge
controller. This controller incorporates current and
voltage sense circuitry, an internal 70mꢀ power
The ActivePath circuitry features input over-voltage
protection circuitry. This circuitry disables charging
when the input voltage exceeds the voltage set by
OVPSET[-] as shown in Table 9, but stands off the
input voltage in order to protect the system. Note
that the adjustable OVP threshold is intended to
provide the charge cycle with adjustable immunity
against upward voltage transients on the input, and
is not intended to allow continuous charging with
input voltages above the charger's normal operating
voltage range. Independent of the OVPSET[-]
setting, the charge cycle is not allowed to continue
until the input voltage falls back into the charger's
normal operating voltage range (i.e. below 6.0V).

featured state-machine that implements charge

operation with damaged cells. Other features

signal to the host microprocessor.
The ACT8937's charge current settings are
summarized in Table 10.
Dynamic Charge Current Control (DCCC)
Note that the actual charge current may be limited
to a current lower than the programmed fast charge
current due to the ACT8937’s internal thermal
regulation loop. See the Thermal Regulation section
for more information.
The ACT8937's ActivePath charger features
dynamic charge current control (DCCC) circuitry,
which acts to ensure that the system remains
powered while operating within the maximum output
capability of the power adapter. The DCCC circuitry
continuously monitors VSYS, and if the voltage at
VSYS drops by more than 200mV, the DCCC
circuitry automatically reduces charge current in
order to prevent VSYS from continuing to drop.
In order to ease input supply detection and
eliminate the size and cost of external detection
circuitry, the charger has the ability to generate
interrupts based upon the status of the input supply.
This function is capable of generating an interrupt
when the input is connected, disconnected, or both.
An interrupt is generated any time the input supply
is connected when INSTAT[ ] bit is set to 1 and the
INCON[-] bit is set to 1, and an interrupt is
generated any time the input supply is disconnected
when INSTAT[ ] bit is set to 1 and the INDIS[ ] bit is
set to 1.
Charge Current Programming
The ACT8937's ActivePath charger features a
flexible charge current-programming scheme that
combines the convenience of internal charge
current programming with the flexibility of resistor
based charge current programming. Current limits
and charge current programming are managed as a
function of the ACIN and CHGLEV pins, in
combination with RISET, the resistance connected to
the ISET pin.
The status of the input may be read at any time by
reading the INDAT[-] bit, where a value of 1
indicates that the valid input (VCHGIN
UVLO<VCHGIN<VOVP) is present, and a value of 0
indicates that a valid input is not present. Reading
the INSTAT[-] bit indicates when the input has
generated an interrupt; this bit will normally return a
value of 0, but will return value of 1 when an input
interrupt has been generated then the interrupt is
automatically cleared to 0 upon reading.
ACIN is a logic input that configures the current-limit
of ActivePath's linear regulator as well as that of the
battery charger. ACIN features a precise 1.2V logic
threshold, so that the input voltage detection
threshold may be adjusted with a simple resistive
voltage divider. This input also allows a simple, low-
cost dual-input charger switch to be implemented
with just a few, low-cost components.
When responding to an Input Status Interrupt, it is
often useful to know the state of the ACIN input. For
When the voltage at ACIN is above the 1.2V
threshold, the charger operates in “AC-Mode” with a
charge current programmed by RISET, and the RISET
is given by:
example, in
a
dual-input charger application
knowing the state of the ACIN input can identify
which type of input supply has been connected. The
state of the ACIN input can be read at any time by
reading the ACINSTAT[-] bit, where a value of 1
indicates that the voltage at ACIN is above the 1.2V
threshold (indicating that a wall-cube has been
attached), and a value of 0 indicates that the
voltage is below this threshold (indicating that ACIN
input is not valid and USB supply input is selected).
R
ISET (kꢀ) = 2336 × (1V/ICHG (mA)) - 0.205
With a given RISET then charge current will reduce 5
times when CHGLEV is driven low.
When ACIN is below the 1.2V threshold, the
charger operates in “USB-Mode”, with a maximum

cell to “relax”. The charger continues to monitor the
cell voltage, and re-initiates a charging sequence if
the cell voltage drops to 205mV (typ) below the
charge termination voltage.
PRECONDITION State
new charging cycle begins with the
A
PRECONDITION state, and operation continues in
this state until VBAT exceeds the Precondition
Threshold Voltage. When operating in
PRECONDITION state, the cell is charged at 10%
of the programmed maximum fast-charge constant
current, ICHG[-].
SUSPEND State
The state-machine jumps to the SUSPEND state
any time the battery is removed, and any time the
input voltage falls below either the UVLO threshold
or exceeds the OVP threshold. Once none of these
conditions are present, a new charge cycle initiates.
Once VBAT reaches the Precondition Threshold
Voltage, the state machine jumps to the FAST-
CHARGE state. If VBAT does not reach the
Precondition Threshold Voltage before the
Precondition Timeout period expires, then the state
machine jumps to the TIMEOUT-FAULT state in
order to prevent charging a damaged cell. See the
Charge Safety Timers section for more information.
A charging cycle may also be suspended manually
by setting the SUSPEND[ ] bit. In this case, initiate
a new charging sequence by clearing SUSPEND[ ]
to 0.
State Machine Interrupts
FAST-CHARGE State
The charger features the ability to generate
interrupts when the charger state machine
transitions, based upon the status of the CHG_ bits.
An interrupt may be generated when the state
machine transitions to END-OF-CHARGE (EOC)
state by setting the CHGEOCIN[ ] bit to
1 and CHGSTAT[ ] bit to 1. An interrupt may be
generated when machine transitions get out END-
OF-CHARGE (EOC) state by setting the
CHGEOCOUT[ ] bit to 1 and CHGSTAT[ ] bit to 1.
In the FAST-CHARGE state, the charger operates
in constant-current (CC) mode and regulates the
charge current to the current set by RISET . Charging
continues in CC mode until VBAT reaches the charge
termination voltage (VTERM), at which point the state-
machine jumps to the TOP-OFF state. If VBAT does
not reach VTERM before the total time out period
expires then the state-machine will jump to the
“EOC” state and will re-initiate a new charge cycle
after 32ms “relax”. See the Current Limits and
Charge Current Programming sections for more
information about setting the maximum charge
current.
The status of the charge state machine may be
read at any time by reading the CHGDAT[-] bit,
where a value of 0 indicates no interrupt generated,
and a value of 1 indicates interrupt generated.
Reading the CHGSTAT[-] bit indicates when a state
machine transition has generated an interrupt; this
bit will normally return a value of 0, but will return
value of 1 when a state transition occurs then the
interrupt is automatically cleared to 0 upon reading.
TOP-OFF State
In the TOP-OFF state, the cell charges in constant-
voltage (CV) mode. In CV mode operation, the
charger regulates its output voltage to the 4.20V
charge termination voltage, and the charge current
is naturally reduced as the cell approaches full
charge. Charging continues until the charge current
drops to END-OF-CHARGE current threshold, at
which point the state machine jumps to the END-
OF-CHARGE (EOC) state.
For additional information about the charge cycle,
CSTATE[1:0] may be read at any time via I2C to
determine the current charging state.
Table 11:
Charging Status Indication
If the state-machine does not jump out of the TOP-
OFF state before the Total-Charge Timeout period
expires, the state machine jumps to the EOC state
and will re-initiate a new charge cycle if VBAT falls
below termination voltage 205mV (typ). For more
information about the charge safety timers, see the
Charging Safety Times section.

The charger features an internal thermal regulation
loop that monitors die temperature and reduces
charging current as needed to ensure that the die
temperature does not exceed the thermal regulation
threshold of 110°C. This feature protects against
excessive junction temperature and makes the
device more accommodating to aggressive thermal
designs. Note, however, that attention to good
thermal designs is required to achieve the fastest
possible charge time by maximizing charge current.

Charge Status Indicator
Charge Safety Timers
The charger provides a charge-status indicator
output, nSTAT. nSTAT is an open-drain output
which sinks current when the charger is in an
active-charging state, and is high-Z otherwise.
nSTAT features an internal 8mA current limit, and is
capable of directly driving a LED without the need
of a current-limiting resistor or other external
circuitry. To drive an LED, simply connect the LED
between nSTAT pin and an appropriate supply,
such as VSYS. For a logic-level charge status
indication, simply connect a resistor from nSTAT to
an appropriate voltage supply.
The charger features programmable charge safety
timers which help ensure a safe charge by
detecting potentially damaged cells. These timers
are programmable via the PRETIMO[1:0] and
TOTTIMO[1:0] bits, as shown in Table 12 and Table
13. Note that in order to account for reduced charge
current resulting from DCCC operation, the charge
timeout periods are extended proportionally to the
reduction in charge current. As a result, the actual
safety period may exceed the nominal timer period.
The charger features the ability to generate
interrupts based upon the status of the charge
timers, based upon the status of the TIMR_ bits.
Generate interrupts when the Precondition Timer
expires by setting the TIMRPRE[ ] bit to 1 and
TIMRSTAT[ ] bit to 1, generate interrupts when the
Total-Charge Timer expires by setting the
TIMRTOT[ ] bit to 1 and TIMRSTAT[ ] bit to 1.

Figure 8. The charger continuously monitors the
temperature of the battery pack by injecting a
102μA (typ) current into the thermistor (via the TH
pin) and sensing the voltage at TH. The voltage at
TH is continuously monitored, and charging is
suspended if the voltage at TH exceeds either of
the internal VTHH and VTHL thresholds of 0.5V and
2.51V, respectively.
Figure 8:
Simple Configuration
The net resistance (from TH to GA) required to
cross the thresholds are given by:
102μA × RNOM × kHOT = 0.5V → RNOM × kHOT
≈ 5kꢀ
102μA × RNOM × kCOLD = 2.51V → RNOM ×
kCOLD ≈ 25kꢀ
where RNOM is the nominal thermistor resistance
at room temperature, and kHOT and kCOLD
represent the ratios of the thermistor's resistance at
the desired hot and cold thresholds, respectively, to
the resistance at 25°C.
In order to ease detecting the status of the battery
temperature, the charger features the ability to
generate interrupts based upon the status of the
battery temperature. Generate an interrupt when
battery temperature goes out of the valid
temperature range by setting the TEMPOUT[ ] bit to
1 and TEMPSTAT[ ] bit to 1. Generated an interrupt
when battery temperature returns to the valid range
by setting the TEMPIN[ ] bit to 1 and TEMPSTAT[ ]
bit to 1.
The status of the battery temperature may be read
at any time by reading the TEMPDAT[-] bit, where a
value of 1 indicates that battery temperature is
within the valid range, and a value of 0 indicates
that battery temperature has exceeded either of the
thresholds. Reading the TEMPSTAT[-] bit indicates
when the battery temperature has generated an
interrupt; this bit will normally return a value of 0,
but will return value of 1 when a cell-temperature
interrupt has been generated then the interrupt is
automatically cleared to 0 upon reading.
