September 14, 2010
The ISL6256, ISL6256A is a highly integrated battery charger
controller for Li-ion/Li-ion polymer batteries. High Efficiency is
Features
• ±0.5% Charge Voltage Accuracy (-10°C to +100°C)
• ±3% Accurate Input Current Limit
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
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
• Fixed 300kHz PWM Synchronous Buck Controller with
Diode Emulation at Light Load
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
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.
• Aircraft Power Capable
• DC Adapter Present Indicator
• Battery Discharge MOSFET Control
• Less than 10µA Battery Leakage Current
• Supports Pulse Charging

Functional Pin Descriptions
GND is an analog ground.
BOOT
DCIN
Connect BOOT to a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor to PHASE pin
and connect to the cathode of the bootstrap Schottky diode.
The DCIN pin is the input of the internal 5V LDO. Connect it to
the AC adapter output. Connect a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor
from DCIN to CSON.
UGATE
UGATE is the high side MOSFET gate drive output.
ACSET
SGATE
ACSET is an AC adapter detection input. Connect to a resistor
divider from the AC adapter output.
SGATE is the AC adapter power source select output. The
SGATE pin drives an external P-MOSFET used to switch to AC
adapter as the system power source.
ACPRN
Open-drain output signals AC adapter is present. ACPRN pulls
low when ACSET is higher than 1.26V; and pulled high when
ACSET is lower than 1.26V.
BGATE
Battery power source select output. This pin drives an external
P-Channel MOSFET used to switch the battery as the system
power source. When the voltage at CSON pin is higher than
the AC adapter output voltage at DCIN, BGATE is driven to low
and selects the battery as the power source.
DCSET
DCSET is a lower voltage adapter detection input (like aircraft
power 15V). Allows the adapter to power the system where
battery charging has been disabled.
LGATE
DCPRN
LGATE is the low side MOSFET gate drive output; swing
between 0V and VDDP.
Open-drain output signals DC adapter is present. DCPRN pulls
low when DCSET is higher than 1.26V; and pulled high when
DCSET is lower than 1.26V.
PHASE
The Phase connection pin connects to the high side MOSFET
source, output inductor, and low side MOSFET drain.
EN
EN is the Charge Enable input. Connecting EN to high enables
the charge control function, connecting EN to low disables
charging functions. Use with a thermistor to detect a hot
battery and suspend charging.
CSOP/CSON
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.
ICM
ICM is the adapter current output. The output of this pin
produces a voltage proportional to the adapter current.
CSIP/CSIN
PGND
CSIP/CSIN is the AC adapter current sensing positive/negative
input. The differential voltage across CSIP and CSIN is used to
sense the AC adapter current, and is compared with the AC

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.
VDD
VDD is an internal LDO output to supply IC analog circuit.
Connect a 1µF ceramic capacitor to ground.
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.
VDDP
VDDP is the supply voltage for the low-side MOSFET gate
driver. Connect a 4.7 resistor to VDD and a 1µF ceramic
capacitor to power ground.
ICOMP
ICOMP is a current loop error amplifier output.
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.
VCOMP
VCOMP is a voltage loop amplifier output.
CELLS
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.
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

VADJ adjusts battery regulation voltage. VADJ = VREF for
4.2V + 5%/cell; VADJ = Floating for 4.2V/cell; VADJ = GND for
4.2V - 5%/cell. Connect to a resistor divider to program the
desired battery cell voltage between 4.2V - 5% and 4.2V + 5%.
CHLIM and the value of R sets the charging current. The
CHLIM
1
DC/DC converter 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.
CHLIM is the battery charge current limit set pin. CHLIM input
voltage range is 0.1V to 3.6V. When CHLIM = 3.3V, the set
point for CSOP-CSON is 165mV. The charger shuts down if
CHLIM is forced below 88mV.
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.
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.
VREF
VREF is a 2.39V reference output pin. It is internally
compensated. Do not connect a decoupling capacitor.
Theory of Operation
PWM Control
Introduction
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%.
Note: Unless otherwise noted, all descriptions that refer to the
ISL6256 also refer to the ISL6256A.
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.
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.
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

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.

Setting the Battery Charge Current Limit
Setting the Battery Regulation Voltage
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 40m 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. Unlike VADJ and
ACLIM, CHLIM does not have an internal resistor divider
network. The charge current limit threshold is given by
Equation 3:
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 per-cell battery termination voltage is a function of the
battery chemistry (consult the battery manufacturers to
determine this voltage)

Equation 4:
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 voltage per cell can be

A low pass filter is suggested to eliminate the switching noise.
Connect the resistor to CSIN pin instead of CSIP pin because

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 current
and the maximum charger input current simultaneously. By
using the input current limiter, the current capability of the AC
adapter can be lowered, reducing system cost.
AC Adapter Detection
Connect the AC adapter voltage through a resistor divider to
ACSET to detect when AC power is available, as shown in
Figure 2. ACPRN is an open-drain output and is high when
ACSET is less than V

The ISL6256 limits the battery charge current when the input

The battery voltage is monitored by CSON. If the battery voltage
measured on CSON is less than the adapter voltage measured
on DCIN, then the P-Channel MOSFET controlled by BGATE
turns off and the P-Channel MOSFET controlled by SGATE is
allowed to turn on when the adapter current is high enough. If it is
greater, then the P-Channel MOSFET controlled by SGATE turns
off and BGATE turns on the battery discharge P-Channel
MOSFET to minimize the power loss. Also, the charging function
is disabled. If designing for airplane power, 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 from supplying the system bus.

Short Circuit Protection and 0V Battery Charging
LDO Regulator
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.
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.
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
Overvoltage Protection
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.
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
an internal comparator pulls
OVP
VCOMP down and turns off both upper and lower FETs of the
buck as in Figure 17. The trip point for Overvoltage Protection
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 inductor selection has trade-offs between cost, size,
crossover 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 operating DC current at maximum input
voltage. Maximum ripple is at 50% duty cycle or

During normal operation with cells installed, the CSON pin
voltage will be the cell stack voltage. When EN is low and the
cells are removed, this voltage may drop below 100mV. Due to
non-linearities in the OVP comparator at this low input level,
the VCOMP pin may be held low even after EN is commanded
high. If regulation is required in the absence of cells then a
series resistor and diode need to be installed which inject
current into the CSON pin from the VDD pin. See R23 and D3
in Figure 3. This will maintain the CSON pin voltage well within
its linear range in the absence of cells, and will be effectively
out of the circuit when the diode is reversed biased by the cell
stack. Resistor values from 10k to 100k have been found to be
effective.
Inductor saturation can lead to cascade failures due to very
high currents. Conservative design limits the peak and RMS
current in the inductor to less than 90% of the rated saturation
current.

where the duty cycle D is the ratio of the output voltage (battery

the battery charge period, the output voltage varies from its

cycle change can be in the range of between 0.53 and 0.88 for
the minimum battery voltage of 10V (2.5V/Cell) and the
maximum battery voltage of 16.8V. The maximum RMS value

the maximum RMS current is 0.19A. A typical 10F ceramic
capacitor is a good choice to absorb this current and also has
very small size. Organic polymer capacitors have high
capacitance with small size and have a significant equivalent
series resistance (ESR). Although ESR adds to ripple voltage,
it also creates a high frequency zero that helps the closed loop
operation of the buck regulator.
The optimum efficiency occurs when the switching losses
equal the conduction losses. However, it is difficult to calculate
the switching losses in the high-side MOSFET since it must
allow for difficult-to-quantify factors that influence the turn-on
and turn-off times. These factors include the MOSFET internal
gate resistance, gate charge, threshold voltage, stray
inductance, pull-up and pull-down resistance of the gate driver.
EMI considerations usually make it desirable to minimize ripple
current in the battery leads. Beads may be added in series with
the battery pack to increase the battery impedance at 300kHz
switching frequency. Switching ripple current splits between
the battery and the output capacitor depending on the ESR of
the output capacitor and battery impedance. If the ESR of the
output capacitor is 10m and battery impedance is raised to
2 with a bead, then only 0.5% of the ripple current will flow in
the battery.

a rough estimate.

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 recommended that ceramic capacitors or
polymer capacitors from Sanyo be used due to their small size
and reasonable cost.
As a general rule, select a diode with DC current rating equal
to one-third of the load current. One option is to choose a
combined MOSFET with the Schottky diode in a single
package. The integrated packages may work better in practice
because there is less stray inductance due to a short
connection. This Schottky diode is optional and may be
removed if efficiency loss can be tolerated. In addition, ensure
that the required total gate drive current for the selected
MOSFETs should be less than 24mA. So, the total gate charge
for the high-side and low-side MOSFETs is limited by Equation

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 regulation.

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

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

This is the gate drive signal for the bottom MOSFET of the
buck converter. The signal going through this trace has both
high dv/dt and high di/dt, and the peak charging and
discharging current is very high. These two traces should be

other traces in parallel with these traces on any layer.

This trace should be short, and positioned away from other weak

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
CSOP, CSON Pins
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.
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.

At least one high quality ceramic decoupling cap should be

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.
