OPERATION
The MP2670 is designed to provide a
redundant safety protection to a Li-Ion battery
from failures of the charging system. The IC
continuously monitors the input voltage, the
battery voltage, and the charge current. When
any of the above three parameters exceeds its
limit, the IC turns off an internal N-channel
MOSFET to remove the power from the
charging system. The threshold of charge
current protection is user-programmable.
Additionally, the IC also monitors its own die
temperature and turns off the N-channel
MOSFET if the temperature exceeds 150°C.
Together with the battery charging IC and the
protection module in a battery pack, the
charging system has triple-level protection from
over-charging the Li-Ion battery and is two–fault
tolerant. The MP2670 protects up to 30V input
voltage.
Power Up
The MP2670 has a power-on reset (POR)
threshold of 2.6V with a built-in hysteresis of
110mV. When the input voltage is below the
POR threshold, the internal power FET is off.
The IC resets itself and waits for approximately
10ms after the input voltage exceeds the POR
threshold, then, if the input voltage and battery
voltage are safe, the IC begins to soft-start the
internal power FET. The 10ms delay allows any
transient at the input during a hot insertion of
the power supply to settle down before the IC
stars to operate. The soft-start slowly turns on
the power FET to reduce the inrush current as
well as the input voltage drop during the
transition.
Input Over-voltage Protection (OVP)
The input voltage is continuously monitored by
the comparator CP1 in the Block Diagram
(Figure 1). The OVP threshold is set by a
resistive divider consisting of R1 and R2 and an
accurate reference generated by the IC itself.
The protection threshold is set to 5.8V. When
the input voltage exceeds the threshold, the
CP1 outputs a logic signal to turn off the power
FET within 1µs to prevent the high input voltage
from damaging the electronics in the handheld
system. The hysteresis for the input OVP
threshold is given in the Electrical Specification.
When the input over-voltage condition is
removed, the power FET is turned on again by
running through the soft-start. Because of the
10ms second delay before the soft-start, the
output is never enabled if the input rises above
the OVP threshold quickly.
Over-current Protection (OCP)
The current in the power FET is limited to
prevent charging the battery with an excessive
current. The current is sensed using the voltage
drop across the power FET after the FET is
turned on. The reference of the OCP is
generated using a sensing FET Q2, as shown
in Figure 1. The current in the sensing FET is
forced to a value which can be programmed by
an external resistor connected to the ILIM pin.
The size of the power FET Q1 is 31,250 times
the size of the sensing FET Q2. Therefore,
when the current in the power FET is 31,250
times the current in the sensing FET, the drain
voltage of the power FET falls below that of the
sensing FET. The comparator CP2 then outputs
a signal to turn off the power FET. The OCP
threshold can be programmed using the
following formula:

25000
31250
)(
8.0
)( Ω

Ω
=
ILIMILIM
LIM RR V
AI
The OCP comparator CP2 has a built-in 170µs
delay to prevent false triggering by transient
signals. When OCP happened, Vo shuts down
for about 40ms and take 10ms delay to soft
start as the OCP condition is removed. The
OCP function also has a 4-bit binary counter
that accumulates during an OCP event. When
the total count reaches 16, the power PFET is
turned off permanently unless the input power
is recycled or the enable pin is toggled.

Battery Over-voltage Protection (BOVP)
The battery voltage OVP threshold is internally
set to 4.4V. The threshold has 75mV built-in
hysteresis. The comparator CP3, as shown in
Figure 1, monitors the VB pin and issues an
over-voltage signal to turn off the internal power
FET when the battery voltage exceeds the
battery OVP threshold. The comparator CP3
has a built-in 180µs blanking time to prevent
any transient voltage from triggering the OVP. If
the OVP situation still exists after the blanking
time, the power FET is turned off. There is an
internal 4-bit binary counter monitoring the
occurrences of the battery over-voltage event. If
the battery over-voltage occurs 16 times, the
power FET is turned off permanently. Recycling
the input power or toggling the enable ( EN )
input will reset the counter and restart the
MP2670.
The resistor between the VB pin and the battery,
RVB, as shown in the Typical Applications circuit,
is an important component. This resistor
provides a current limit in case the VB pin is
shorted to the input voltage under a failure
mode. The VB pin leakage current under
normal operation is negligible to allow a
resistance of 200k to 1M being used.
Thermal Protection
The MP2670 monitors its own die temperature
to prevent thermal failures. When the internal
temperature reaches 150°C, the internal N-
channel power MOSFET is turned off. The IC
does not resume operation until the internal
temperature drops below 110°C.
External Enable Function
The MP2670 offers an enable (EN ) input which
can be used to enable or disable the IC. When
the EN pin is pulled to logic HIGH, the
protection IC is shut down. The internal control
circuit as well as the power FET is turned off.
Both 4-bit binary counters for the battery OVP
and the OCP are reset to zero when the IC is
re-enabled. The EN pin has an internal 200k
pull-down resistor. Leaving the EN pin floating
or driving it to below 0.4V enables the IC.
Warning Indication Output
The FLT pin is an open-drain output that
indicates a LOW signal when any of the three
protection events happens. To pull the FLT pin
voltage low when fault, a recommended 10k
to 200k resistor should be used as the pull up
resistor.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
For safe and effective charging, some strict
requirements have to be satisfied during
charging Li-Ion batteries such as high precise
power source for charging (4.2V±50mV), the
accuracy should be higher than 1%. For highly
used capacity, the voltage of the battery should
be charged to the value (4.2V) as possible as
could. Otherwise, the performance and the life
of the battery suffers overcharge. Additionally,
the pre-charge for depleted batteries, charging
voltage, charging current, as well as the
temperature detection and protection, are
required for linear battery chargers. The output
of most MPS linear charger has a typical I-V
curve and provides overcharge, input over
voltage, over temperature protection. The
function of the MP2670 is to add a redundant
protection layer such that, under any fault
condition, the charging system output does not
exceed the I-V limits that the battery required.
Additionally, MP2670 provides full protection for
these chargers whose protection function is not
so complete especially those without input
surge voltage sustain. MP2670 guarantees the
safety of the charge system with its perfect 4
protection functions: OVP, BOVP, OCP and
OTP
The MP2670 is a simple device that requires
few external components, in addition to the
linear charger circuit as shown in the Typical
Application Circuit. The selection of MP2670’s
external components is shown as follow, and
the selection of the current limit resistor RILIM
has been introduced in the Over-current
Protection section.
CIN and COUT Selection
The input capacitor (CIN) is for decoupling.
Higher value of CIN reduces the voltage drop or
the over shoot during transients. The AC
adapter is inserted live (hot insertion) and
sudden step down of the current in the power
FET will cause the input voltage overshoot.
During an input OVP, the FET is turned off in
less than 1µs and can lead to significant over
shoot. Higher capacitance of CIN reduces this
type of over shoot. However, the over shoot
caused by a hot insertion is not very dependent
on the decoupling capacitance value. Usually,
the input decoupling capacitor is recommended
to use a dielectric ceramic capacitor with a
value between 1µF to 4.7µF.
The output of the MP2670 and the input of the
charging circuit typically share one decoupling
capacitor. The selection of that capacitor is
mainly determined by the requirement of the
charging circuit. When using the MP2602 family
chargers, a 1µF to 4.7uF ceramic capacitor is
recommended.
RVB Selection
RVB limits the current from the VB pin to the
battery terminal in case the MP2670 fails. The
recommended value is between 200k to 1M.
With 200k resistance, during the failure
operation, assuming the VB pin voltage is 30V
and the battery voltage is 4.2V. The worst case
the current flowing from the VB pin to the
charger output is,
(30V - 4.2V)/200k = 130µA,
Such small current can be easily absorbed by
the bias current of other components.
Increasing the RVB value reduces the worst
case current, but at the same time increases
the error for the 4.4V battery OVP threshold.
As the typical VB pin leakage current is 20nA,
the error of the battery OVP threshold can be
calculated as 4.4V+20nAxRVB. With the 200k
resistor, the worst-case additional error is 4mV
and with a 1M resistor, the worst-case
additional error is 20mV.
