SMBus Level 2 Battery Charger  
ISL88731A  
Features  
The ISL88731A is a highly integrated Lithium-ion battery  
charger controller, programmable over the SMBus system  
management bus (SMBus). The ISL88731A is intended to be  
used in a smart battery charger (SBC) within a smart battery  
system (SBS) that throttles the charge power such that the  
current from the AC-adapter is automatically limited. High  
efficiency is achieved with a DC/DC synchronous-rectifier buck  
converter, equipped with diode emulation for enhanced light  
load efficiency and system bus boosting prevention. The  
ISL88731A charges one to four Lithium-ion series cells, and  
delivers up to 8A charge current. Integrated MOSFET drivers  
and bootstrap diode result in fewer components and smaller  
implementation area. Low offset current-sense amplifiers  
provide high accuracy with 10mΩ sense resistors. The  
ISL88731A provides 0.5% end-of-charge battery voltage  
accuracy.  
• 0.5% Battery Voltage Accuracy  
• 3% Adapter Current Limit Accuracy  
• 3% Charge Current Accuracy  
• SMBus 2 Wire Serial Interface  
• Battery Short Circuit Protection  
• Fast Response for Pulse-Charging  
• Fast System-Load Transient Response  
• Monitor Outputs  
- Adapter Current (3% Accuracy)  
- AC-Adapter Detection  
• 11-Bit Battery Voltage Setting  
• 6 Bit Charge Current/Adapter Current Setting  
• 8A Maximum Battery Charger Current  
• 11A Maximum Adapter Current  
• +8V to +28V Adapter Voltage Range  
• Pb-Free (RoHS compliant)  
The ISL88731A provides a digital output that indicates the  
presence of the AC-adapter as well as an analog output which  
indicates the adapter current within 4% accuracy.  
The ISL88731A is available in a small 5mmx5mm 28 Ld thin  
(0.8mm) QFN package. An evaluation kit is available to reduce  
design time. The ISL88731A is available in Pb-Free packages.

Theory of Operation  
Introduction  
The ISL88731A includes all of the functions necessary to charge  
1-to-4 cell Li-ion and Li-polymer batteries. A high efficiency  
synchronous buck converter is used to control the charging  
voltage up to 19.2V and charging current up to 8A. The  
ISL88731A also has input current limiting up to 11A. The Input  
current limit, charge current limit and charge voltage limit are set  
by internal registers written with SMBus. Figure 2 shows the  
ISL88731A “Typical Application Circuit”.  
AC-Adapter Detection  
Connect the AC-adapter voltage through a resistor divider to ACIN  
to detect when AC power is available, as shown in Figure 2. ACOK  
is an open-drain output and is active low when ACIN is less than  
V
, and high when ACIN is above V . The ACIN rising  
th,fall  
th,rise  
threshold is 3.2V (typ) with 57mV hysteresis.  
Current Measurement  
The ISL88731A charges the battery with constant charge current,  
set by the ChargeCurrent register, until the battery voltage rises to  
a voltage set by the ChargeVoltage register. The charger will then  
operate at a constant voltage. The adapter current is monitored  
and if the adapter current rises to the limit set by the InputCurrent  
register, battery charge current is reduced so the charger does not  
reduce the adapter current available to the system.  
Use ICM to monitor the adapter current being sensed across  
CSSP and CSSN. The output voltage range is 0V to 2.5V. The  
voltage of ICM is proportional to the voltage drop across CSSP  
and CSSN, and is given by Equation 1:  
(EQ. 1)  
ICM = 20 I  
R  
S1  
INPUT  
The ISL88731A features a voltage regulation loop (VCOMP) and  
two current regulation loops (ICOMP). The VCOMP voltage  
regulation loop monitors VFB to limit the battery charge voltage.  
The ICOMP current regulation loop limits the battery charging  
current delivered to the battery to ensure that it never exceeds  
the current set by the ChargeCurrent register. The ICOMP current  
regulation loop also limits the input current drawn from the  
AC-adapter to ensure that it never exceeds the limit set by the  
InputCurrent register, and to prevent a system crash and  
AC-adapter overload.  
where I  
is the DC current drawn from the AC-adapter. It  
ADAPTER  
is recommended to have an RC filter at the ICM output for  
minimizing the switching noise.  
VDDP Regulator  
VDDP provides a 5.2V supply voltage from the internal LDO  
regulator from DCIN and can deliver up to 30mA of continuous  
current. The MOSFET drivers are powered by VDDP. VDDP also  
supplies power to VCC through a low-pass filter as shown in the  
“Typical Application Circuit” (see Figure 2) on page 2. Bypass  
VDDP and VCC with a 1µF capacitor.  
PWM Control  
The ISL88731A employs a fixed frequency PWM 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 input voltage changes.  
VDDSMB Supply  
The VDDSMB input provides power to the SMBus interface.  
Connect VDDSMB to VCC, or apply an external supply to VDDSMB.  
Bypass VDDSMB to GND with a 0.1µF or greater ceramic  
capacitor.  
The duty cycle of the buck regulator is controlled by the lower of  
the voltages on ICOMP and VCOMP. The voltage on ICOMP and  
VCOMP are inputs to a Lower Voltage Buffer (LVB) who’s output is  
the lower of the two inputs. The output of the LVB is compared to  
an internal 400kHz ramp to produce the Pulse Width Modulated  
signal that controls the UGATE and LGATE drivers. An internal  
clamp holds the higher of the two voltages (0.3V) above the lower  
voltage. This speeds the transition from voltage loop control to  
current loop control or vice versa.  
The typical application connects VDDSMB to the same power  
source as the SMBus master. This supply should be active and  
greater than 2.5V when either the adapter or the battery is  
present.  
ISL88731A does not function when VDDSMB is below its  
specified Under Voltage Lockout (UVLO) voltage. All of the SMBus  
registers in ISL88731A are powered by VDDSMB and are set to  
zero when it is below the UVLO threshold. Other functions are  
unpredictable when VDDSMB is below the UVLO threshold.  
The ISL88731A can operate up to 99.6% duty cycle if the input  
voltage drops close to or below the battery charge voltage (drop  
out mode). The DC/DC converter has a timer to prevent the  
frequency from dropping into the audible frequency range.  
Short Circuit Protection and 0V Battery  
Charging  
Since the battery charger will regulate the charge current to the  
limit set by the ChargeCurrent register, it automatically has short  
circuit protection and is able to provide the charge current to  
wake up an extremely discharged battery. Undervoltage trickle  
charge folds back current if there is a short circuit on the output.  
To prevent boosting of the system bus voltage, the battery  
charger drives the lower FET in a way that prevents negative  
inductor current.  
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 20ns after LGATE falls below 1V V , preventing  
GS  
cross-conduction and shoot-through. The same occurs for LGATE  
turn on. In order for the dead time circuit to work properly, there  
must be a low resistance, low inductance path from the LGATE

ISL88731A  
Undervoltage Detect and Battery Trickle  
Charging  
If the voltage at CSON falls below 2.5V, the ISL88731A reduces  
the charge current limit to 128mA to trickle charge the battery.  
When the voltage rises above 2.7V the charge current reverts to  
the programmed value in the ChargeCurrent register.  
Overvoltage Protection  
ISL88731A 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 in the charge voltage register by more than 300mV an  
internal comparator pulls VCOMP down and turns off both upper  
and lower FETs of the buck as in Figure 15. There is a delay of  
approximately 1µs between V  
and pulling VCOMP, LGATE and UGATE low. After UGATE and  
LGATE are turned OFF inductor current continues to flow through  
the body diode of the lower FET and V  
inductor current reaches zero.

If the die temperature exceeds +150°C, it stops charging. Once  
the die temperature drops below +125°C, charging will start up

SMBus Transactions  
All transactions start with a control byte sent from the SMBus  
master device. The control byte begins with a Start condition,  
followed by 7-bits of slave address (0001001 for the ISL88731A)  
followed by the R/W bit. The R/W bit is 0 for a write or 1 for a read. If  
any slave devices on the SMBus bus recognize their address, they  
will Acknowledge by pulling the serial data (SDA) line low for the last  
clock cycle in the control byte. If no slaves exist at that address or  
are not ready to communicate, the data line will be 1, indicating a  
Not Acknowledge condition.

Once the control byte is sent, and the ISL88731A acknowledges

byte such as 0x14 for the ChargeCurrent register. The register  
address byte tells the ISL88731A which register the master will  
write or read. See Table 1 for details of the registers. Once the  
ISL88731A receives a register address byte it responds with an  
acknowledge.  
START and STOP Conditions  
As shown in Figure 17, START condition is a HIGH-to-LOW transition  
of the SDA line while SCL is HIGH.  
The STOP condition is a LOW-to-HIGH transition on the SDA line  
while SCL is HIGH. A STOP condition must be sent before each  
START condition.

The data (SDA) and clock (SCL) pins have Schmitt-trigger inputs  
that can accommodate slow edges. Choose pull-up resistors for  
SDA and SCL to achieve rise times according to the SMBus  
specifications. The ISL88731A is controlled by the data written to  
the registers described in Table 1.  
Byte Format  
Every byte put on the SDA line must be eight bits long and must  
be followed by an acknowledge bit. Data is transferred with the  
most significant bit first (MSB) and the least significant bit last  
(LSB).  
Battery Charger Registers  
ISL88731A and SMBus  
The ISL88731A supports five battery-charger registers that use  
either Write-Word or Read-Word protocols, as summarized in  
Table 1. ManufacturerID and DeviceID are “read only” registers  
and can be used to identify the ISL88731A. On the ISL88731A,  
ManufacturerID always returns 0x0049 (ASCII code for “I” for  
Intersil) and DeviceID always returns 0x0001.  
The ISL88731A receives control inputs from the SMBus  
interface. The serial interface complies with the SMBus protocols  
as documented in the System Management Bus Specification  
V1.1, which can be downloaded from www.smbus.org. The  
ISL88731A uses the SMBus Read-Word and Write-Word  
protocols (Figure 19) to communicate with the smart battery. The  
ISL88731A is an SMBus slave device and does not initiate  
communication on the bus. It responds to the 7-bit address  
0b0001001_ (0x12).  
Enabling and Disabling Charging  
After applying power to ISL88731A, the internal registers contain  
their POR values (see Table 1). The POR values for charge current  
and charge voltage are 0x0000. These values disable charging.  
To enable charging, the ChargeCurrent register must be written  
with a number >0x007F and the ChargeVoltage register must be  
written with a number >0x000F. Charging can be disabled by  
writing 0x0000 to either of these registers.  
Read address = 0b00010011 and  
Write address = 0b00010010.  
In addition, the ISL88731A has two identification (ID) registers: a  
16-bit device ID register and a 16-bit manufacturer ID register.

the ChargeVoltage and ChargeCurrent registers. Use the  
Setting Charge Voltage  
Write-Word protocol (Figure 19) to write to the ChargeVoltage  
register. The register address for ChargeVoltage is 0x15. The  
16-bit binary number formed by D15–D0 represents the charge  
voltage set point in mV. However, the resolution of the  
ISL88731A is 16mV because the D0–D3 bits are ignored as  
shown in Table 2. The D-5 bit is also ignored because it is not  
needed to span the 1.024V to 19.2V range. Table 2 shows the  
mapping between the charge-voltage set point and the 16-bit  
number written to the ChargeVoltage register. The ChargeVoltage  
register can be read back to verify its contents.  
Charge voltage is set by writing a valid 16-bit number to the  
ChargeVoltage register. This 16-bit number translates to a  
65.535V full-scale voltage. The ISL88731A ignores the first 4  
LSBs and uses the next 11 bits to set the voltage DAC. The  
charge voltage range of the ISL88731A is 1.024V to 19.200V.  
Numbers requesting charge voltage greater than 19.200V result  
in a ChargeVoltage of 19.200V. All numbers requesting charge  
voltage below 1.024V result in a voltage set point of zero, which  
terminates charging. Upon initial power-up or reset, the  
ChargeVoltage and ChargeCurrent registers are reset to 0 and  
the charger remains shut down until valid numbers are sent to

ChargeVoltage and ChargeCurrent registers. The ChargeCurrent  
register uses the Write-Word protocol (see Figure 19). The  
register code for ChargeCurrent is 0x14 (0b00010100). Table 3  
shows the mapping between the charge current set point and the  
ChargeCurrent number. The ChargeCurrent register can be read  
back to verify its contents.  
ISL88731A has a 16-bit ChargeCurrent register that sets the  
battery charging current. ISL88731A controls the charge current  
by controlling the CSOP-CSON voltage. The register’s LSB  
translates to 10µV at CSON-CSOP. With a 10mΩ charge current  
R
resistor (RS2 in Figure 2), the LSB translates to 1mA  
sense  
charge current. The ISL88731A ignores the first 7 LSBs and uses  
the next 6 bits to control the current DAC. The charge-current  
range of the ISL88731A is 0 to 8.064A (using a 10mΩ current-  
sense resistor). All numbers requesting charge current above  
8.064A result in a current setting of 8.064A. All numbers  
requesting charge current between 0mA to 128mA result in a  
current setting of 0mA. The default charge current setting at  
Power-On Reset (POR) is 0mA. To stop charging, set  
The ISL88731A includes a fault limiter for low battery conditions.  
If the battery voltage is less than 2.5V, the charge current is  
temporarily set to 128mA. The ChargeCurrent register is  
preserved and becomes active again when the battery voltage is  
higher than 2.7V. This function effectively provides a foldback  
current limit, which protects the charger during short circuit and  
overload.

inputs in 20µV per LSB increments. To set the input current limit  
Setting Input-Current Limit  
use the SMBus to write a 16-bit InputCurrent register using the  
data format listed in Table 4. The InputCurrent register uses the  
Write-Word protocol (see Figure 19). The register code for  
InputCurrent is 0x3F (0b00111111). The InputCurrent register  
can be read back to verify its contents.  
The total power from an AC-adapter is the sum of the power  
supplied to the system and the power into the charger and battery.  
When the input current exceeds the set input current limit, the  
ISL88731A decreases the charge current to provide priority to  
system load current. As the system load rises, the available charge  
current drops linearly to zero. Thereafter, the total input current  
can increase to the limit of the AC-adapter.  
The ISL88731A ignores the first 7 LSBs and uses the next  
6 bits to control the input-current DAC. The input-current range of  
the ISL88731A is from 256mA to 11.004A. All 16-bit numbers  
requesting input current above 11.004A result in an input-  
current setting of 11.004A. All 16-bit numbers requesting input  
current between 0mA to 256mA result in an input-current setting  
of 0mA. The default input-current-limit setting at POR is 256mA.  
When choosing the current-sense resistor RS1, carefully  
calculate its power rating. Take into account variations in the  
system’s load current and the overall accuracy of the sense  
amplifier. Note that the voltage drop across RS1 contributes  
additional power loss, which reduces efficiency. System currents  
normally fluctuate as portions of the system are powered up or  
put to sleep. Without input current regulation, the input source  
must be able to deliver the maximum system current and the  
maximum charger-input current. By using the input-current-limit  
circuit, the output-current capability of the AC wall adapter can  
be lowered, reducing system cost.  
The internal amplifier compares the differential voltage between  
CSSP and CSSN to a scaled voltage set by the InputCurrent  
register. The total input current is the sum of the device supply  
current, the charger input current, and the system load current.  
The total input current can be estimated by using Equation 2.

Acknowledge). The master will then produce a Stop condition to  
end the read transaction.  
Charger Timeout  
The ISL88731A includes 2 timers to insure the SMBus master is  
active and to prevent overcharging the battery. ISL88731A will  
terminate charging if the charger has not received a write to the  
ChargeVoltage or ChargeCurrent register within 175s or if the  
SCL line is low for more than 25ms. If a time-out occurs, either  
ChargeVoltage or ChargeCurrent registers must be written to  
re-enable charging.  
ISL88731A does not support reading more than 1 register per  
transaction.  
Application Information  
The following battery charger design refers to the ”Typical  
Application Circuit” (see Figure 2) on page 2, where typical  
battery configuration of 3S2P is used. This section describes how  
to select the external components including the inductor, input  
and output capacitors, switching MOSFETs and current sensing  
resistors.  
ISL88731A Data Byte Order  
Each register in ISL88731A contains 16bits or 2, 8 bit bytes. All  
data sent on the SMBus is in 8-bit bytes and 2 bytes must be  
written or read from each register in ISL88731A. The order in  
which these bytes are transmitted appears reversed from the  
way they are normally written. The LOW byte is sent first and the  
HI byte is sent second. For example, When writing 0x41A0, 0xA0  
is written first and 0x41 is sent second.  
Inductor Selection  
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 decreases 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.  
Writing to the Internal Registers  
In order to set the charge current, charge voltage or input current,  
valid 16-bit numbers must be written to ISL88731A’s internal  
registers via the SMBus.  
To write to a register in the ISL88731A, the master sends a  
control byte with the R/W bit set to 0, indicating a write. If it  
receives an Acknowledge from the ISL88731A it sends a register  
address byte setting the register to be written (i.e. 0x14 for the  
ChargeCurrent register). The ISL88731A will respond with an  
Acknowledge. The master then sends the lower data byte to be  
written into the desired register. The ISL88731A will respond with  
an Acknowledge. The master then sends the higher data byte to  
be written into the desired register. The ISL88731A will respond  
with an Acknowledge. The master then issues a Stop condition,  
indicating to the ISL88731A that the current transaction is  
complete. Once this transaction completes, the ISL88731A will  
begin operating at the new current or voltage.

The ISL88731A has the ability to read from 5 internal registers.  
Prior to reading from an internal register, the master must first  
select the desired register by writing to it and sending the registers  
address byte. This process begins by the master sending a control  
byte with the R/W bit set to 0, indicating a write. Once it receives  
an Acknowledge from the ISL88731A it sends a register address  
byte representing the internal register it wants to read. The  
ISL88731A will respond with an Acknowledge. The master must  
then respond with a Stop condition. After the Stop condition, the  
master follows with a new Start condition, then sends a new  
control byte with the ISL88731A slave address and the R/W bit set  
to 1, indicating a read. The ISL88731A will Acknowledge then  
send the lower byte stored in that register. After receiving the byte,  
the master Acknowledges by holding SDA low during the 9th clock  
pulse. ISL88731A then sends the higher byte stored in the register.  
After the second byte, neither device holds SDA low (No

Output Capacitor Selection  
The output capacitor in parallel with the battery is used to absorb  
the high frequency switching ripple current and smooth the  
output voltage. The RMS value of the output ripple current I  
is given by Equation 6:  
to switch the FET off quickly, voltage drops across parasitic  
impedances between LGATE and the MOSFET can allow the gate  
to rise during the fast rising edge of voltage on the drain.

Another way to avoid cross conduction is slowing the turn-on  
speed of the high-side MOSFET by connecting a resistor between  
the BOOT pin and the boot strap capacitor.  
Where the duty cycle D is the ratio of the output voltage (battery  
voltage) over the input voltage for continuous conduction mode  
which is typical operation for the battery charger. During the  
battery charge period, the output voltage varies from its initial  
battery voltage to the rated battery voltage. So, the duty cycle  
varies from 0.53 for the minimum battery voltage of 7.5V  
(2.5V/Cell) to 0.88 for the maximum battery voltage of 12.6V.  
The maximum RMS value of the output ripple current occurs at  
the duty cycle of 0.5 and is expressed as Equation 7:

the maximum RMS current is 0.19A. A typical 20µF ceramic

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.

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 400kHz  
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 10mΩ and battery impedance is raised to 2Ω with a  
bead, then only 0.5% of the ripple current will flow in the battery.

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

ON-resistance and drain-to-gate charge. Good MOSFET selection  
is based on the Figure of Merit (FOM), which is a product of the  
total gate charge and ON-resistance. Usually, the smaller the  
value of FOM, the higher the efficiency for the same application.  
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

Snubber Design  
The Pulse Width Modulator in the ISL88731A converts voltage at  
VCOMP to a duty cycle by comparing VCOMP to a triangle wave  
ISL88731A'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.

internal resistance of the MOSFETs, inductor and capacitor.  
Figure 20 shows the small signal model of the pulse width  
modulator (PWM), power stage, output filter and battery.  
The snubber capacitor should be approximately twice the  
parasitic capacitance on the phase node. This can be estimated  
by operating at very low load current (100mA) and measuring the  
ringing frequency.

ISL88731A 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 the “Functional Block

Voltage Control Loop  
(EQ. 22)  
When the battery is charged to the voltage set by ChargeVoltage  
register the voltage error amplifier (GMV) takes control of the  
output (assuming that the adapter current is below the limit set  
by ACLIM). The voltage error amplifier (GMV) discharges the  
capacitor 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 two current error amplifiers (GMI  
and GMS) output their maximum current and charge the  
capacitor on ICOMP to its maximum voltage (limited to 0.3V  
above VCOMP). With high voltage on ICOMP, the minimum  
voltage buffer output equals the voltage on VCOMP.  
The resistance RO is a combination of MOSFET r

DS(ON)  
DCR, R  
and the internal resistance of the battery (normally

control is when the battery is absent. This results in the highest Q  
of the LC filter and the lowest phase margin.

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:

LOOP GAIN  
3. Power Layers: Power Ground  
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.  
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 capacitor should be  
used to cross these two pins. The decoupling capacitor can be  
put close to the IC.  
FIGURE 27. CURRENT SENSE RESISTOR LAYOUT  
CSOP, CSON, CSSP and CSSN Pins  
LGATE Pin  
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  
capacitor very near the IC (see Figure 2). Traces from the sense  
resister should start at the pads of the sense resister and should  
be routed close together, through the low pass filter and to the  
CSOP and CSON pins (see Figure 27). 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 resister and CSSP and CSSN. Other layout arrangements  
should be adjusted accordingly.  
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 short, wide, and away from  
other traces. There should be no other traces in parallel with  
these traces on any layer.  
PGND Pin  
PGND pin should be laid out to the negative side of the relevant  
output capacitor with separate traces.The negative side of the  
output capacitor must be close to the source node of the bottom  
MOSFET. This trace is the return path of LGATE.  
PHASE Pin  
DCIN Pin  
This trace should be short, and positioned away from other weak  
signal traces. This node has a very high dv/dt with a voltage  
swing from the input voltage to ground. No trace should be in  
parallel with it. This trace is also the return path for UGATE.  
Connect this pin to the high-side MOSFET source.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
BOOT Pin  
This pin’s di/dt is as high as the UGATE; therefore, this trace  
should be as short as possible.  
Clamping Capacitor for Switching MOSFET  
It is recommended that ceramic capacitors 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.
