FN6499.1  
Highly Integrated Battery Charger with  
Automatic Power Source Selector for  
Notebook Computers  
Features  
• ±0.5% Charge Voltage Accuracy (-10°C to +100°C)  
• ±3% Accurate Input Current Limit  
The ISL6256, ISL6256A is a highly integrated battery charger  
controller for Li-Ion/Li-Ion polymer batteries. High Efficiency is  
achieved by a synchronous buck topology and the use of a  
MOSFET, instead of a diode, for selecting power from the  
adapter or battery. The low side MOSFET emulates a diode at  
light loads to improve the light load efficiency and prevent  
system bus boosting.  
• ±3% Accurate Battery Charge Current Limit  
• ±25% Accurate Battery Trickle Charge Current Limit  
• Programmable Charge Current Limit, Adapter Current  
Limit and Charge Voltage  
• Fixed 300kHz PWM Synchronous Buck Controller with  
Diode Emulation at Light Load  
The constant output voltage can be selected for 2, 3 and 4  
series Li-Ion cells with 0.5% accuracy over-temperature. It  
can also be programmed between 4.2V+5%/cell and 4.2V-  
5%/cell to optimize battery capacity. When supplying the load  
and battery charger simultaneously, the input current limit for  
the AC adapter is programmable to within 3% accuracy to  
avoid overloading the AC adapter, and to allow the system to  
make efficient use of available adapter power for charging. It  
also has a wide range of programmable charging current. The  
ISL6256, ISL6256A provides outputs that are used to monitor  
the current drawn from the AC adapter, and monitor for the  
presence of an AC adapter. The ISL6256, ISL6256A  
automatically transitions from regulating current mode to  
regulating voltage mode.  
• Overvoltage Protection  
• Output for Current Drawn from AC Adapter  
• AC Adapter Present Indicator  
• Fast Input Current Limit Response  
• Input Voltage Range 7V to 25V  
• Support 2-, 3- and 4-Cells Battery Pack  
• Up to 17.64V Battery-Voltage Set Point  
• Control Adapter Power Source Select MOSFET  
• Thermal Shutdown  
• Aircraft Power Capable  
ISL6256, ISL6256A has a feature for automatic power source  
selection by switching to the battery when the AC adapter is  
removed or switching to the AC adapter when the AC adapter  
is available. It also provides a DC adapter monitor to support  
aircraft power applications with the option of no battery  
charging.  
• DC Adapter Present Indicator  
• Battery Discharge MOSFET Control  
• Less than 10µA Battery Leakage Current  
• Supports Pulse Charging  
• Pb-Free Plus Anneal Available (RoHS Compliant)

higher than the AC adapter output voltage at DCIN, BGATE  
is driven to low and selects the battery as the power source.

enables the charge control function, connecting EN to low  
disables charging functions. Use with a thermistor to detect  
a hot battery and suspend charging.  
LGATE  
ICM  
LGATE is the low side MOSFET gate drive output; swing  
between 0V and VDDP.  
ICM is the adapter current output. The output of this pin  
produces a voltage proportional to the adapter current.  
PHASE  
PGND  
The Phase connection pin connects to the high side  
MOSFET source, output inductor, and low side MOSFET  
drain.  
PGND is the power ground. Connect PGND to the source of  
the low side MOSFET.  
VDD  
CSOP/CSON  
VDD is an internal LDO output to supply IC analog circuit.  
Connect a 1μF ceramic capacitor to ground.  
CSOP/CSON is the battery charging current sensing  
positive/negative input. The differential voltage across CSOP  
and CSON is used to sense the battery charging current,  
and is compared with the charging current limit threshold to  
regulate the charging current. The CSON pin is also used as  
the battery feedback voltage to perform voltage regulation.

driver. Connect a 4.7Ω resistor to VDD and a 1μF ceramic  
capacitor to power ground.

AC adapter current.  
ICOMP is a current loop error amplifier output.  
VCOMP  
VCOMP is a voltage loop amplifier output.  
CELLS  
GND  
This pin is used to select the battery voltage. CELLS = VDD  
for a 4S battery pack, CELLS = GND for a 3S battery pack,  
CELLS = Float for a 2S battery pack.  
GND is an analog ground.

set point for CSOP-CSON is 165mV. The charger shuts  
R sets the charging current. The DC/DC converter

down if CHLIM is forced below 88mV.  
generates the control signals to drive two external  
N-Channel MOSFETs to regulate the voltage and current set  
by the ACLIM, CHLIM, VADJ and CELLS inputs.  
ACLIM  
ACLIM is the adapter current limit set pin. ACLIM = VREF for  
100mV, ACLIM = Floating for 75mV, and ACLIM = GND for  
50mV. Connect a resistor divider to program the adapter  
current limit threshold between 50mV and 100mV.  
The ISL6256 features a voltage regulation loop (VCOMP)  
and two current regulation loops (ICOMP). The VCOMP  
voltage regulation loop monitors CSON to ensure that its  
voltage never exceeds the voltage and regulates the battery  
charge voltage set by VADJ. The ICOMP current regulation  
loops regulate the battery charging current delivered to the  
battery to ensure that it never exceeds the charging current  
limit set by CHLIM; and the ICOMP current regulation loops  
also regulate the input current drawn from the AC adapter to  
ensure that it never exceeds the input current limit set by  
ACLIM, and to prevent a system crash and AC adapter  
overload.  
VREF  
VREF is a 2.39V reference output pin. It is internally  
compensated. Do not connect a decoupling capacitor.  
Theory of Operation  
Introduction  
Note: Unless otherwise noted, all descriptions that refer to  
the ISL6256 also refer to the ISL6256A.  
PWM Control  
The ISL6256 includes all of the functions necessary to  
charge 2 to 4 cell Li-Ion and Li-polymer batteries. A high  
efficiency synchronous buck converter is used to control the  
charging voltage and charging current up to 10A. The  
ISL6256 has input current limiting and analog inputs for  
setting the charge current and charge voltage; CHLIM inputs  
are used to control charge current and VADJ inputs are used  
to control charge voltage.  
The ISL6256 employs a fixed frequency PWM current mode  
control architecture with a feed-forward function. The  
feed-forward function maintains a constant modulator gain of  
11 to achieve fast line regulation as the buck input voltage  
changes. When the battery charge voltage approaches the  
input voltage, the DC/DC converter operates in dropout  
mode, where there is a timer to prevent the frequency from  
dropping into the audible frequency range. It can achieve  
duty cycle of up to 99.6%.  
The ISL6256 charges the battery with constant charge  
current, set by CHLIM input, until the battery voltage rises up  
to a programmed charge voltage set by VADJ input; then the  
charger begins to operate at a constant voltage charge mode.  
The charger also drives an adapter isolation P-Channel  
MOSFET to efficiently switch in the adapter supply.  
To prevent boosting of the system bus voltage, the battery  
charger operates in standard-buck mode when CSOP-CSON  
drops below 4.25mV. Once in standard-buck mode, hysteresis  
does not allow synchronous operation of the DC/DC converter  
until CSOP-CSON rises above 12.5mV.  
ISL6256 is a complete power source selection controller for  
single battery systems and also aircraft power applications.  
It drives a battery selector P-Channel MOSFET to efficiently  
select between a single battery and the adapter. It controls  
the battery discharging MOSFET and switches to the battery  
when the AC adapter is removed, or, switches to the AC  
adapter when the AC adapter is inserted for single battery  
system.  
An adaptive gate drive scheme is used to control the dead  
time between two switches. The dead time control circuit  
monitors the LGATE output and prevents the upper side  
MOSFET from turning on until LGATE is fully off, preventing  
cross-conduction and shoot-through. In order for the dead  
time circuit to work properly, there must be a low resistance,  
low inductance path from the LGATE driver to MOSFET  
gate, and from the source of MOSFET to PGND. The  
external Schottky diode is between the VDDP pin and BOOT  
pin to keep the bootstrap capacitor charged.  
The EN input allows shutdown of the charger through a  
command from a micro-controller. It also uses EN to safely  
shutdown the charger when the battery is in extremely hot  
conditions. The amount of adapter current is reported on the  
ICM output. Figure 1 shows the IC functional block diagram.  
Setting the Battery Regulation Voltage  
The ISL6256 uses a high-accuracy trimmed band-gap  
voltage reference to regulate the battery charging voltage.  
The VADJ input adjusts the charger output voltage, and the  
VADJ control voltage can vary from 0 to VREF, providing a  
10% adjustment range (from 4.2V-5% to 4.2V+5%) on  
CSON regulation voltage. An overall voltage accuracy of  
better than 0.5% is achieved.  
The synchronous buck converter uses external N-Channel  
MOSFETs to convert the input voltage to the required  
charging current and charging voltage. Figure 2 shows the  
ISL6256 typical application circuit with charging current and  
charging voltage fixed at specific values. The typical  
application circuit shown in Figure 3 shows the ISL6256  
typical application circuit which uses a micro-controller to  
adjust the charging current set by CHLIM input for aircraft  
power applications. The voltage at CHLIM and the value of

The per-cell battery termination voltage is a function of the  
battery chemistry. Consult the battery manufacturers to  
determine this voltage.  
Unlike VADJ and ACLIM, CHLIM does not have an internal  
resistor divider network. The charge current limit threshold is

To set the trickle charge current for the dumb charger, an

• Connect VADJ to VREF to set 4.41V × number of cells,

So, the maximum battery voltage of 17.6V can be achieved.  
Note that other battery charge voltages can be set by  
connecting a resistor divider from VREF to ground. The resistor  
divider should be sized to draw no more than 100µA from  
VREF; or connect a low impedance voltage source like the D/A  
converter in the micro-controller. The programmed battery

When the CHLIM voltage is below 88mV (typical), it will  
disable the battery charge. When choosing the current  
sensing resistor, note that the voltage drop across the  
sensing resistor causes further power dissipation, reducing  
efficiency. However, adjusting CHLIM voltage to reduce the  
voltage across the current sense resistor R1 will degrade  
accuracy due to the smaller signal to the input of the current  
sense amplifier. There is a trade-off between accuracy and  
power dissipation. A low pass filter is recommended to  
eliminate switching noise. Connect the resistor to the CSOP  
pin instead of the CSON pin, as the CSOP pin has lower  
bias current and less influence on current-sense accuracy  
and voltage regulation accuracy.

The “Electrical Specifications” table on page 6 gives  
minimum and maximum values for the CSOP-CSON voltage

(CSOP to CSON Full-Scale Current Sense Voltage on page

Connect CELLS as shown in Table 1 to charge 2, 3 or 4 Li+  
cells. When charging other cell chemistries, use CELLS to  
select an output voltage range for the charger. The internal  
error amplifier gm1 maintains voltage regulation. The voltage  
error amplifier is compensated at VCOMP. The component  
values shown in Figure 3 provide suitable performance for most  
applications. Individual compensation of the voltage regulation  
and current-regulation loops allows for optimal compensation.

Setting the Battery Charge Current Limit  
When ISL6256A is in charge current limiting mode, the  
maximum charge current is the maximum CSOP-CSON  
voltage divided by the minimum sense resistor. This can be  
calculated for ISL6256A with Equation 7:  
The CHLIM input sets the maximum charging current. The  
current set by the current sense-resistor connects between  
CSOP and CSON. The full-scale differential voltage between  
CSOP and CSON is 165mV for CHLIM = 3.3V, so the  
maximum charging current is 4.125A for a 40mΩ sensing  
resistor. Other battery charge current-sense threshold  
values can be set by connecting a resistor divider from  
VREF or 3.3V to ground, or by connecting a low impedance  
voltage source like a D/A converter in the micro-controller.

Maximum charge current can be calculated for ISL6256 with  
Equation 8:  
When choosing the current sense resistor, note that the  
voltage drop across this resistor causes further power  
dissipation, reducing efficiency. The AC adapter current  
sense accuracy is very important. Use a 1% tolerance  
current-sense resistor. The highest accuracy of ±3% is  
achieved with 100mV current-sense threshold voltage for  
ACLIM = VREF, but it has the highest power dissipation. For  
example, it has 400mW power dissipation for rated 4A AC  
adapter and 1Ω sensing resistor may have to be used. ±4%  
and ±6% accuracy can be achieved with 75mV and 50mV  
current-sense threshold voltage for ACLIM = Floating and  
ACLIM = GND, respectively.

A low pass filter is suggested to eliminate the switching  
noise. Connect the resistor to CSIN pin instead of CSIP pin  
because CSIN pin has lower bias current and less influence  
on the current-sense accuracy.  
Setting the Input Current Limit  
The total input current from an AC adapter, or other DC  
source, is a function of the system supply current and the  
battery-charging current. The input current regulator limits  
the input current by reducing the charging current, when the  
input current exceeds the input current limit set point.  
System current normally fluctuates as portions of the system  
are powered up or down. Without input current regulation,  
the source must be able to supply the maximum system

DCSET is tied to a resistor divider sensing the adapter voltage.  
When a user is plugged into the 15V airplane supply and the  
battery voltage is lower than 15V, the MOSFET driven by  
BGATE (See Figure 3) is turned off which keeps the battery

LDO Regulator  
Short Circuit Protection and 0V Battery Charging  
VDD provides a 5.0V supply voltage from the internal LDO  
regulator from DCIN and can deliver up to 30mA of current.  
The MOSFET drivers are powered by VDDP, which must be  
connected to VDDP as shown in Figure 2. VDDP connects  
to VDD through an external low pass filter. Bypass VDDP  
and VDD with a 1µF capacitor.  
Since the battery charger will regulate the charge current to  
the limit set by CHLIM, it automatically has short circuit  
protection and is able to provide the charge current to wake  
up an extremely discharged battery.  
Over-Temperature Protection  
If the die temp exceeds +150°C, it stops charging. Once the  
die temp drops below +125°C, charging will start up again.  
Shutdown  
The ISL6256 features a low-power shutdown mode. Driving  
EN low shuts down the ISL6256. In shutdown, the DC/DC  
converter is disabled, and VCOMP and ICOMP are pulled to  
ground. The ICM, ACPRN and DCPRN outputs continue to  
function.  
Overvoltage Protection  
ISL6256 has an Overvoltage Protection circuit that limits the  
output voltage when the battery is removed or disconnected  
by a pulse charging circuit. If CSON exceeds the output  
voltage set point by more than V

EN can be driven by a thermistor to allow automatic  
shutdown of the ISL6256 when the battery pack is hot. Often  
a NTC thermistor is included inside the battery pack to  
measure its temperature. When connected to the charger,  
the thermistor forms a voltage divider with a resistive pull-up  
to the VREF. The threshold voltage of EN is 1.0V with 60mV  
hysteresis. The thermistor can be selected to have a  
resistance vs temperature characteristic that abruptly  
decreases above a critical temperature. This arrangement  
automatically shuts down the ISL6256 when the battery pack  
is above a critical temperature.

The inductor selection has trade-offs between cost, size,  
cross over frequency and efficiency. For example, the lower  
the inductance, the smaller the size, but ripple current is  
higher. This also results in higher AC losses in the magnetic  
core and the windings, which decrease the system  
efficiency. On the other hand, the higher inductance results  
in lower ripple current and smaller output filter capacitors,  
but it has higher DCR (DC resistance of the inductor) loss,  
lower saturation current and has slower transient response.  
So, the practical inductor design is based on the inductor  
ripple current being ±15% to ±20% of the maximum

The high side MOSFET must be able to dissipate the  
conduction losses plus the switching losses. For the battery  
charger application, the input voltage of the synchronous  
buck converter is equal to the AC adapter output voltage,  
which is relatively constant. The maximum efficiency is  
achieved by selecting a high side MOSFET that has the  
conduction losses equal to the switching losses. Switching  
losses in the low-side FET are very small. The choice of  
low-side FET is a trade off between conduction losses

Generally, the lower the drain-to-gate charge, the higher the

ON-resistance and drain-to-gate charge. Good MOSFET

product of the total gate charge and ON-resistance. Usually,

ISL6256's buck regulator operates in discontinuous current  
mode (DCM) when the load current is less than half the  
peak-to-peak current in the inductor. After the low-side FET  
turns off, the phase voltage rings due to the high impedance  
with both FETs off. This can be seen in Figure 9. Adding a  
snubber (resistor in series with a capacitor) from the phase  
node to ground can greatly reduce the ringing. In some  
situations a snubber can improve output ripple and

LOOP COMPENSATION DESIGN  
This RMS ripple current must be smaller than the rated RMS  
current in the capacitor datasheet. Non-tantalum chemistries  
(ceramic, aluminum, or OSCON) are preferred due to their  
resistance to power-up surge currents when the AC adapter  
is plugged into the battery charger. For Notebook battery  
charger applications, it is recommend that ceramic  
capacitors or polymer capacitors from Sanyo be used due to  
their small size and reasonable cost.  
ISL6256 has three closed loop control modes. One controls  
the output voltage when the battery is fully charged or  
absent. A second controls the current into the battery when  
charging and the third limits current drawn from the adapter.  
The charge current and input current control loops are  
compensated by a single capacitor on the ICOMP pin. The  
voltage control loop is compensated by a network on the  
VCOMP pin. Descriptions of these control loops and  
guidelines for selecting compensation components will be  
given in the following sections. Which loop controls the  
output is determined by the minimum current buffer and the  
minimum voltage buffer shown in Figure 1. These three  
loops will be described separately.

Voltage Control Loop  
When the battery is charged to the voltage set by CELLS and  
VADJ the voltage error amplifier (gm1) takes control of the  
output (assuming that the adapter current is below the limit set  
by ACLIM). The voltage error amplifier (gm1) discharges the  
cap on VCOMP to limit the output voltage. The current to the  
battery decreases as the cells charge to the fixed voltage and  
the voltage across the internal battery resistance decreases.  
As battery current decreases the 2 current error amplifiers  
(gm2 and gm3) output their maximum current and charge the  
capacitor on ICOMP to its maximum voltage (limited to 1.2V  
above VCOMP). With high voltage on ICOMP, the minimum  
voltage buffer output equals the voltage on VCOMP.

If the combined battery charge current and system load  
current draws current that equals the adapter current limit  
set by the ACLIM pin, ISL6256 will reduce the current to the  
battery and/or reduce the output voltage to hold the adapter  
current at the limit. Above the adapter current limit, the  
minimum current buffer equals the output of gm3 and  
ICOMP controls the charger output. Figure 21 shows the  
adapter current limit control loop.

PCB Layout Considerations  
Power and Signal Layers Placement on the PCB  
As a general rule, power layers should be close together,  
either on the top or bottom of the board, with signal layers on  
the opposite side of the board. As an example, layer  
arrangement on a 4-layer board is shown below:  
UGATE Pin  
This pin has a square shape waveform with high dv/dt. It  
provides the gate drive current to charge and discharge the  
top MOSFET with high di/dt. This trace should be wide,  
short, and away from other traces similar to the LGATE.  
1. Top Layer: signal lines, or half board for signal lines and  
the other half board for power lines  
2. Signal Ground  
BOOT Pin  
3. Power Layers: Power Ground  
This pin’s di/dt is as high as the UGATE; therefore, this trace  
should be as short as possible.  
4. Bottom Layer: Power MOSFET, Inductors and other  
Power traces  
Separate the power voltage and current flowing path from  
the control and logic level signal path. The controller IC will  
stay on the signal layer, which is isolated by the signal  
ground to the power signal traces.  
CSOP, CSON Pins  
Accurate charge current and adapter current sensing is  
critical for good performance. The current sense resistor  
connects to the CSON and the CSOP pins through a low  
pass filter with the filter cap very near the IC (see Figure 2).  
Traces from the sense resistor should start at the pads of the  
sense resistor and should be routed close together,  
throughout the low pass filter and to the CSON and CSON  
pins (see Figure 25). The CSON pin is also used as the  
battery voltage feedback. The traces should be routed away  
from the high dv/dt and di/dt pins like PHASE, BOOT pins. In  
general, the current sense resistor should be close to the IC.  
These guidelines should also be followed for the adapter  
current sense resistor and CSIP and CSIN. Other layout  
arrangements should be adjusted accordingly.  
Component Placement  
The power MOSFET should be close to the IC so that the  
gate drive signal, the LGATE, UGATE, PHASE, and BOOT,  
traces can be short.  
Place the components in such a way that the area under the  
IC has less noise traces with high dv/dt and di/dt, such as  
gate signals and phase node signals.  
Signal Ground and Power Ground Connection  
At minimum, a reasonably large area of copper, which will  
shield other noise couplings through the IC, should be used  
as signal ground beneath the IC. The best tie-point between  
the signal ground and the power ground is at the negative  
side of the output capacitor on each side, where there is little  
noise; a noisy trace beneath the IC is not recommended.  
GND and VDD Pin  
At least one high quality ceramic decoupling cap should be  
used to cross these two pins. The decoupling cap can be put  
close to the IC.

EN Pin  
This pin stays high at enable mode and low at idle mode and  
is relatively robust. Enable signals should refer to the signal  
ground.  
DCIN Pin  
This pin connects to AC adapter output voltage, and should  
be less noise sensitive.  
Copper Size for the Phase Node  
The capacitance of PHASE should be kept very low to  
minimize ringing. It would be best to limit the size of the  
PHASE node copper in strict accordance with the current  
and thermal management of the application.  
Identify the Power and Signal Ground  
The input and output capacitors of the converters, the source  
terminal of the bottom switching MOSFET PGND should  
connect to the power ground. The other components should  
connect to signal ground. Signal and power ground are tied  
together at one point.  
Clamping Capacitor for Switching MOSFET  
It is recommended that ceramic caps be used closely  
connected to the drain of the high-side MOSFET, and the  
source of the low-side MOSFET. This capacitor reduces the  
noise and the power loss of the MOSFET.
