3 Description
The bq24260/bq24261/bq24262 are highly integrated
single cell Li-Ion battery charger and system power
path management devices that supports operation
from either a USB port or wall adapter supply. The
power path feature allows the bq2426x to power the
system from a high efficiency DC to DC converter
while simultaneously and independently charging the
battery. The power path also permits the battery to
supplement the system current requirements when
the adapter cannot. Many features are programmable
using the I2C interface. To support USB OTG
applications, the bq2426x is configurable to boost the
battery voltage to 5V and supply up to 1A at the
input. The battery is charged with three phases:
precharge, constant current and constant voltage.
Thermal regulation prevents the die temperature from
exceeding 125C. Additionally, a JEITA compatible
battery pack thermistor monitoring input (TS) is
included to prevent the battery from charging outside
of its safe temperature range.

function if unused. See the NTC Monitor section for more details on operation and selecting the
resistor values.
There is an internal electrical connection between the exposed thermal pad and the PGND
terminal of the device. The thermal pad must be connected to the same potential as the PGND
terminal on the printed circuit board. Do not use the thermal pad as the primary ground input for
the device. PGND terminal must be connected to ground at all times.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The bq24260/bq24261/bq24262 are highly integrated single cell Li-Ion battery charger and system power path
management devices targeted for space-limited, portable applications with high capacity batteries. The single cell
charger has a single input that supports operation from either a USB port or wall adapter supply for a versatile
solution.
The power path management feature allows the bq2426x to power the system from a high efficiency DC to DC
converter while simultaneously and independently charging the battery. The charger monitors the battery current
at all times and reduces the charge current when the system load requires current above the input current limit or
the adapter cannot support the required load, causing the adapter voltage to fall (VIN_DPM). This allows for proper
charge termination and timer operation. The system voltage is regulated to the battery voltage but will not drop
below 3.5V (VMINSYS). This minimum system voltage support enables the system to run with a defective or absent
battery pack and enables instant system turn-on even with a totally discharged battery or no battery. The powerpath management architecture also permits the battery to supplement the system current requirements when the
adapter cannot deliver the peak system currents. The power-path feature coupled with VIN-DPM, enables the use
of many adapters with no hardware change. The charge parameters are programmable using the I2C interface.
To Support USB OTG applications, the bq2426x is configurable to boost the battery voltage to 5V at the input. In
this mode, the bq2426x supplies up to 1A and operates with battery voltages down to 3.3V.
The battery is charged using a standard Li-Ion charge profile with three phases: precharge, constant current and
constant voltage. In all charge phases, an internal control loop monitors the IC junction temperature and reduces
the input current to prevent the junction temperature from rising above 125C. Additionally, a voltage-based,
JEITA compatible battery pack thermistor monitoring input (TS) is included that monitors battery temperature and
automatically changes charge parameters to prevent the battery from charging outside of its safe temperature
range.

8.3 Feature Description

The bq24260/bq24261/bq24262 are highly integrated single cell Li-Ion battery charger and system power path
management devices that supports operation from either a USB port or wall adapter supply. The power path
feature allows the bq2426x to power the system from a high efficiency DC to DC converter while simultaneously
and independently charging the battery. The power path also permits the battery to supplement the system
current requirements when the adapter cannot. Many features are programmable using the I2C interface. To
support USB OTG applications, the bq2426x is configurable to boost the battery voltage to 5V and supply up to
1A at the input. The battery is charged with three phases: precharge, constant current and constant voltage.
Thermal regulation prevents the die temperature from exceeding 125C. Additionally, a JEITA compatible battery
pack thermistor monitoring input (TS) is included to prevent the battery from charging outside of its safe
temperature range
The Device Functional Modes section explains these features in detail.
8.4 Device Functional Modes

8.4.1 High Impedance Mode
High Impedance mode (Hi-Z mode) is the low quiescent current state for the bq2426x. During Hi-Z mode, the
buck converter is off, and the battery FET and BGATE are on. SYS is powered by BAT. The bq2426x is in
Hi-Z mode when VIN < VUVLO, the HZ_MODE bit in the I2C is '1' or the CD terminal is driven high. Hi-Z mode
resets the safety timer.
The bq2426x contains a CD input that is used to disable the IC and place the bq2426x into high-impedance
mode. Drive CD low to enable the bq2426x and enter normal operation. Drive CD high to disable charge
and place the bq2426x into high-impedance mode. CD is internally pulled down to PGND with a 100k
resistor. When exiting Hi-Z mode, charging resumes in approximately 110ms.
8.4.2 Battery Only Connected
When the battery is connected with no input source, the battery FET is turned on. After the battery rises
above VBATUVLO and the deglitch time, tDGL(BAT), the SYS output starts to rise. In this mode, the current is not
regulated; however, there is a short circuit current limit. If the short circuit limit (ILIM(DISCHG)) is reached for the
deglitch time (tDGL(SC)), the battery FET is turned off for the recovery time (tREC(SC)). After the recovery time,
the battery FET is turned on to test and see if the short has been removed. If it has not, the FET turns off
and the process repeats until the short is removed. This process protects the internal FET from over
current. If an external FET is used for discharge, the body diode prevents the load on SYS from being
disconnected from the battery and tDGL(BAT) is not applicable.
8.4.3 Input Connected
8.4.3.1 Input Voltage Protection in Charge Mode
Sleep Mode
The bq2426x enters the low-power sleep mode if the voltage on VIN falls below sleep-mode entry
threshold, VBAT+VSLP, and VIN is higher than the undervoltage lockout threshold, VUVLO. In sleep mode,
the input is isolated from the battery. This feature prevents draining the battery during the absence of
VIN. When VIN < VBAT+ VSLP, the bq2426x turns off the PWM converter, turns the battery FET and
BGATE on, sends a single 128s pulse on the STAT and INT outputs and the STATx and FAULT_x bits
of the status registers are updated in the I2C. Once VIN > VBAT+ VSLP, the STATx bits are cleared and the
device initiates a new charge cycle. The FAULT_x bits are not cleared until they are read in the I2C and
the sleep condition no longer exists.
Input Voltage Based Dynamic Power Management (VIN-DPM)

Device Functional Modes (continued)

During normal charging process, if the input power source is not able to support the programmed or
default charging current, the supply voltage deceases. Once the supply drops to VIN_DPM (default 4.2V),
the charge current limit is reduced to prevent the further drop of the supply. When the IC enters this
mode, the charge current is lower than the set value and the DPM_STATUS bit is set. This feature
ensures IC compatibility with adapters with different current capabilities without a hardware change.
Figure 9 shows the VIN-DPM behavior to a current limited source. In this figure the input source has a 2A
current limit and the device is charging at 1A. A 2.5A load transient then occurs on VSYS causing the
adapter to hit its current limit and collapse, while VSYS goes from VSYSREG(LO) to VMINSYS. If the 2X timer is
set, the safety timer is extended while VIN-DPM is active. Additionally, termination is disabled.

Input Over-Voltage Protection
The built-in input over-voltage protection protects the bq2426x and downstream components connected
to SYS and/or BAT against damage from overvoltage on the input supply (Voltage from VIN to PGND).
When VIN > VOVP, the bq2426x turns off the PWM converter immediately. After the deglitch time
tDGL(BUCK_OVP), an OVP fault is determined to exist. During the OVP fault, the bq2426x turns the battery
FET and BGATE on, sends a single 128s pulse is sent on the STAT and INT outputs and the STATx
and FAULT_x bits are updated in the I2C. Once the OVP fault is removed, the STATx bits are cleared
and the device returns to normal operation. The FAULT_x bits are not cleared until they are read in the
I2C after the OVP condition no longer exists.
The OVP threshold for the bq24260 is 10.5V for operation from standard adapters while the bq24261 is
set to 14V to enable operation from 12V sources. The bq24262 OVP is set to 6.5V to operate from
standard USB sources.
8.4.3.2 Charge Profile
When a valid input source is connected (VIN>VUVLO and VBAT+VSLP<VIN<VOVP), the CE bit in the control register
determines whether a charge cycle is initiated. By default, the bq24260 and bq24262 enable the charge cycle
when a valid input source is connected while the bq24261 does not (CE=1 by default). When the CE bit is 1 and
a valid input source is connected, the battery FET is turned off and the SYS output is regulated to
VSYSREG(HI). A charge cycle is initiated when the CE bit is written to a 0.

The bq2426x supports a precision Li-Ion or Li-Polymer charging system for single-cell applications. Charging is
done through the internal battery MOSFET. There are 6 loops that influence the charge current; constant current
loop (CC), constant voltage loop (CV), thermal regulation loop, minimum system voltage loop (MINSYS), input
current limit and VIN-DPM. During the charging process, all six loops are enabled and the one that is dominant
takes control. The minimum system output feature regulates the system voltage to VSYSREG(LO), so that startup is
enabled even for a missing or deeply discharged battery. Figure 10 shows a typical charge profile including the
minimum system output voltage feature.

8.4.4 Battery Charging Process
When the battery is deeply discharged or shorted, the bq2426x applies a IBATSHRT current to close the battery
protector switch and bring the battery voltage up to acceptable charging levels. During this time, the battery FET
is off and the system output is regulated to VSYSREG(LO). Once the battery rises above VBATSHRT, the charge
current is regulated to the value set in the I2C register. The battery FET is linearly regulated to maintain the
system voltage at VSYSREG(LO). Under normal conditions, the time spent in this region is a very short percentage
of the total charging time, so the linear regulation of the charge current does not affect the overall charging
efficiency for very long. If the die temperature does heat up, the thermal regulation loop reduces the input current
to maintain a die temperature at 125C. If the current limit for the SYS output is reached (limited by the input
17
bq24260
bq24261, bq24262
www.ti.com

current limit, VIN-DPM, or 100% duty cycle), the SYS output drops to the VMINSYS output voltage. When this
happens, the charge current is reduced to ensure the system is supplied with all the current that is needed while
maintaining the minimum system voltage. If the charge current is reduced to 0mA, pulling further current from
SYS causes the output to fall to the battery voltage and enter supplement mode (see the Dynamic Power Path
Management section for more details).
Once the battery is charged enough that the system voltage rises above VSYSREG(LO) (approximately 3.5V), the
battery FET is turned on fully and the battery is charged with the full programmed charge current set by the I2C
interface, ICHARGE. The charge current is regulated to ICHARGE until the voltage between BAT and PGND reaches
the regulation voltage. The voltage between BAT and PGND is regulated to VBATREG (CV mode) while the charge
current naturally tapers down as shown in Figure 10. During CV mode, the SYS output remains connected to the
battery. The impedance of the battery FET is increased to 4x of the fully on value when IBAT falls below ~350mA
to provide increased accuracy during termination. This will show a small rise in the SYS voltage when the RDSON
increases below ~350mA.
When termination is enabled (TE bit is '1'), the bq2426x monitors the charging current during the CV mode. Once
the charge current tapers down to the termination threshold, ITERM, and the battery voltage is above the recharge
threshold, the bq2426x terminates charge, turns off the battery charging FET and enters battery detection (see
Battery Detection section for more details). The system output is regulated to the VSYSREG(HI) and supports the full
current available from the input. The battery supplement mode is available to supply any SYS load that cannot
be supported by the input source (see the Dynamic Power Path Management section for more details). The
termination current level is programmable. To disable the charge current termination, the host sets the charge
termination bit (TE) of charge control register to 0. Refer to I2C section for details. When termination is disabled,
VBAT is continuously regulated to VBATREG. Termination is also disabled when any loop is active other than CC or
CV. This includes VINDPM, input current limit, or thermal regulation. Termination is also disabled during TS
warm/cool conditions and when the LOW_CHG bit is set to '1'.
A charge cycle is initiated when one of the following conditions is detected:
1. The battery voltage falls below the VBATREG-VRCH threshold.
2. IN Power-on reset (POR)
3. CE bit toggle or RESET bit is set (Host controlled)
4. CD terminal is toggled
8.4.5 Charge Time Optimizer
The CC to CV transition is enhanced in the bq2426x architecture. The "knee" between CC and CV is very sharp.
This enables the charger to remain in CC mode as long as possible before beginning to taper the charge current
(CV mode). This provides a decrease in charge time as compared to older topologies.
8.4.6 Battery Detection
When termination conditions are met, a battery detection cycle is started. During battery detection, IDETECT is
pulled from VBAT for tDETECT(SNK) to verify there is a battery. If the battery voltage remains above VDETECT for the
full duration of tDETECT(SNK), a battery is determined to present and the IC enters Charge Done. If VBAT falls
below VDETECT, a Battery Not Present fault is signaled, the charge parameters are reset (VBATREG, ICHARGE and
ITERM) and battery detection continues. The next cycle of battery detection, the bq2426x turns on IBATSHRT for
tDETECT(SRC). If VBAT rises to VDET(SRC1), the current source is turned off and a No Battery condition is registered.
In order to keep VBAT high enough to close the battery protector, the current source turns on if VBAT falls to
VDET(SRC2). The source cycle continues for tDETECT(SRC). After tDETECT(SRC), the battery detection continues through
another current sink cycle. Battery detection continues until charge is disabled, the bq2426x enters high-z mode
or a battery is detected. Once a battery is detected, the fault status clears and a new charge cycle begins. With
no battery connected, the BAT output will transition from VRCH to PGND with a high period of tDETECT(SRC) and a
low period of tDETECT(SNK). See Figure 22 in the Application Curves section. Battery detection is not performed
when termination is disabled.

8.4.7 Battery Overvoltage Protection (BOVP)
If the battery is ever above the battery OVP threshold (VBOVP), the battery OVP circuit shuts the PWM converter
off and the battery FET is turned on to discharge the battery to safe operating levels. A battery OVP most
commonly occurs when the bq2426x returns to DEFAULT mode after a watchdog timer expiration or RESET bit
written to '1'. In this condition, the VBATREG is reset and may be below the battery voltage. Other conditions may
be when the input is initially plugged in before I2C communication is established or TS WARM conditions or when
writing the VBATREG to less than the battery voltage. The battery OVP condition is cleared when the battery
voltage falls below the hysteresis of VBOVP either by the battery discharging or writing the VBATREG to a higher
value. When a battery OVP event exists for tDGL(BOVP), the bq2426x turns the battery FET and BGATE on, sends
a single 128s pulse on the STAT / INT outputs and the STATx and FAULT_x bits are updated in the I2C. Once
the BOVP fault is removed, the STATx bits are cleared and the device returns to normal operation. The
FAULT_x bits are not cleared until they are read in the I2C after the BOVP condition no longer exists.
8.4.8 Dynamic Power Path Management
The bq2426x features a SYS output that powers the external system load connected to the battery. This output is
active whenever a valid source is connected to IN or BAT. When VSYS > VSYSREG(LO), the SYS output is
connected to VBAT. If the battery voltage falls to VMINSYS, VSYS is regulated to the VSYSREG(LO) threshold to
maintain the system output even with a deeply discharged or absent battery. In this mode, the SYS output
voltage is regulated by the buck converter and the battery FET is linearly regulated to regulate the charge current
into the battery. The current from the supply is shared between charging the battery and powering the system
load at SYS. The dynamic power path management (DPPM) circuitry of the bq2426x monitors the current limits
continuously and if the SYS voltage falls to the VMINSYS threshold, it adjusts charge current to maintain the
minimum system voltage and supply the load on SYS. If the charge current is reduced to zero and the load
increases further, the bq2426x enters battery supplement mode. During supplement mode, the battery FET is
turned on and VBAT = VSYS while the battery supplements the system load.

8.4.9 Battery Discharge FET (BGATE)
The bq2426x contains a MOSFET driver to drive an external discharge FET between the battery and the system
output. This external FET provides a low impedance path for supplying the system from the battery. Connect
BGATE to the gate of the external discharge P-channel MOSFET. BGATE is on (low) under the following
conditions:
1. No input supply connected.
2. HZ_MODE = 1
3. CD terminal = 1
8.4.10 DEFAULT Mode
DEFAULT mode is used when I2C communication is not available. DEFAULT mode is entered in the following
situations:
1. When the charger is enabled and VBAT<VBATGD before I2C communication is established
2. When the watchdog timer expires without a reset from the I2C interface
3. The RESET bit is written in the I2C register
In DEFAULT mode, the I2C registers are reset to the default values. The 2 minute safety timer is reset and starts
when DEFAULT mode is entered if a charge cycle is underway. The default value for VBATREG is 3.6V for the
BQ24260/1 and 4.2V for the bq24262. The default value for ICHARGE is 1A. For the bq24260, the input current
limit is determined by the D+/D detection (See D+/D Based Adapter Detection section). For the bq24261 and
bq24262, the input current limit in DEFAULT mode is set by PSEL. (See Power Source Selector Input section)
DEFAULT mode is exited by writing to the I2C interface. Note that if termination is enabled and charging has
terminated, a new charge cycle is NOT initiated when entering DEFAULT mode.
8.4.11 Good Battery Monitor
The bq2426x contains a good battery monitor circuit that places the bq2426x into high-z mode if the battery
voltage is above the VBATGD threshold while in DEFAULT mode. This function is used to enable compliance to
the battery charging standard that prevents charging from an un-enumerated USB host while the battery is above
the good battery threshold. If the bq2426x is in HOST mode, it is assumed that USB host has been enumerated
and the good battery circuit has no effect on charging. Any write to the i2c places the bq2426x in HOST mode
and clears the high-impedance mode condition. The HZ_MODE bit is not updated during this condition.
8.4.12 D+/D Based Adapter Detection (D+/D, bq24260 only)
The bq24260 contains a D+/D- based adapter detection circuit that is used to program the input current limit for
the input during DEFAULT mode. D+/D- is only performed in DEFAULT mode unless forced by the D+/D-_EN
bit in host mode.
By default the input current limit is set to 100mA. During DEFAULT mode, when the input source is connected,
the bq24260 performs an adapter detection to determine if it is connected to a USB port or dedicated charger.
The adapter detection starts with a connection detection as described in the USB Battery Charging Specification
ver 1.2 (BC1.2). Once a connection is detected, the adapter detection is performed. If a connection is not
detected within 500ms, the adapter detection begins. The adapter detection runs as described in BC1.2. If a
CDP/DCP is detected, the input current limit is increased to 1.5A. If an SDP is detected, the current limit remains
at 100mA, until changed in the I2C.
D+/D- is initiated at any time by the host by setting the D+/D- EN bit in the I2C to 1. After detection is complete
the D+/D- EN bit is automatically reset to 0 and the detection circuitry is disconnected from the D+ D- terminals
to avoid interference with USB data transfer. When a command is written to change the input current limit in the
I2C, this overrides the current limit selected by D+/D- detection.

8.4.13 Power Source Selector Input (PSEL, bq24261/2 only)
The bq24261/2 contains a PSEL input that is used to program the input current limit during DEFAULT mode.
Drive PSEL high to indicate a USB source is connected to the input and program the 100mA (bq24261) or
500mA (bq24262) current limit for IN. Drive PSEL low to indicate that an AC Adapter is connected to the input.
When PSEL is low, the IC starts up with a 1.5A input current limit. Once an I2C write is done and the device is in
HOST mode, the PSEL has no effect on the input current limit until the watchdog timer expires and returns the
bq2426x to DEFAULT mode.
8.4.14 Safety Timer and Watchdog Timer in Charge Mode (bq24260/1 only)
At the beginning of charging process, the bq24260/1 starts the safety timer. This timer is active during the entire
charging process. If charging has not terminated before the safety timer expires, the IC enters suspend mode
where charging is disabled. When a safety timer fault occurs, a single 128s pulse is sent on the STAT and INT
outputs and the STATx and FAULT_x bits of the status registers are updated in the I2C. The CE bit, Hi-Z mode,
or power must be toggled in order to clear the safety timer fault. The safety timer duration is selectable using the
TMR_X bits in the Safety Timer Register/ NTC Monitor register. When the safety timer is active, changing the
safety timer duration resets the safety timer. The bq2426x also contains a 2X_TIMER bit that enables the 2x
timer function to prevent premature safety timer expiration when the charge current is reduced by a load on SYS
or a NTC condition. When 2X_TIMER is enabled, the timer runs at half speed when any loop is active other than
CC or CV. This includes VINDPM, input current limit, or thermal regulation. The timer also runs at half speed during
TS warm/cool conditions and when the LOW_CHG bit is set to '1'.
In addition to the safety timer, the bq24260/1 contains a 30-second (tWATCHDOG) watchdog timer that monitors the
host through the I2C interface. Once a write is performed on the I2C interface, a watchdog timer is started. The
watchdog timer is reset by the host using the I2C interface. This is done by writing a 1 to the reset bit
(TMR_RST) in the control register. The TMR_RST bit is automatically set to 0 when the watchdog timer is
reset. This process must continue as long as the input is connected in order to maintain the register contents. If
the watchdog timer expires, the IC enters DEFAULT mode where the default register values are loaded, the
safety timer restarts at 2 minutes once charging continues. The I2C may be accessed again to reinitialize the
desired values and restart the watchdog timer. The watchdog timer flow chart is shown in Figure 12.

8.4.15 LDO Output (DRV)
The bq24260 contains a linear regulator (DRV) that is used to supply the internal MOSFET drivers and other
circuitry. Additionally, DRV supplies up to 10mA external loads to power the STAT LED or the USB transceiver
circuitry. The maximum value of the DRV output is 5.3V so it ideal to protect voltage sensitive USB circuits. The
LDO is on whenever a supply is connected to the input of the bq24260. The DRV is disabled under the following
conditions:
1. VSUPPLY < UVLO
2. VSUPPLY < VBAT + VSLP
3. Thermal Shutdown

8.4.16 External NTC Monitoring (TS)
The I2C interface allows the user to easily implement the JEITA standard for systems where the battery pack
thermistor is monitored by the host. Additionally, the bq24260 provides a flexible, voltage based TS input for
monitoring the battery pack NTC thermistor. The voltage at TS is monitored to determine that the battery is at a
safe temperature during charging. The JEITA specification is shown in Figure 13.

Figure 13. Charge Current During TS Conditions

To satisfy the JEITA requirements, four temperature thresholds are monitored; the cold battery threshold (TNTC <
0C), the cool battery threshold (0C < TNTC < 10C), the warm battery threshold (45C < TNTC < 60C) and the
hot battery threshold (TNTC > 60C). These temperatures correspond to the VCOLD, VCOOL, VWARM, and VHOT
thresholds in the EC table. Charging is suspended and timers are suspended when VTS < VHOT or VTS > VCOLD.
When VCOOL < VTS < VCOLD, the charging current is reduced to half of the programmed charge current. When
VHOT < VTS < VWARM, the battery regulation voltage is reduced by 140mV from the programmed regulation
threshold. The TS function is disabled by connecting TS directly to DRV (VTS > VTSOFF).
The TS function is voltage based for maximum flexibility. Connect a resistor divider from DRV to GND with TS
connected to the center tap to set the threshold. The connections are shown in Figure 14. The resistor values are
calculated using the following equations:

8.4.17 Thermal Regulation and Protection
During the charging process, to prevent overheating in the chip, bq2426x monitors the junction temperature, TJ,
of the die and reduces the input current once TJ reaches the thermal regulation threshold, TREG. The input
current is reduced to zero when the junction temperature increases about 10C above TREG. Once the input
current is reduced to 0, the system current is reduced while the battery supplements the load to supply the
system. When the input current is completely reduced to 0 and TJ>125C, this is may cause a thermal shutdown
of the bq2426x if the die temperature rises too high. At any state, if TJ exceeds TSHTDWN, bq24260 stops charging
and disables the buck converter. During thermal shutdown mode, PWM is turned off, all timers are suspended,
and a single 128s pulse is sent on the STAT and INT outputs and the STATx and FAULT_x bits of the status
registers are updated in the I2C. The charge cycle resumes when TJ falls below TSHTDWN by approximately 10C.

8.4.18 Charge Status Outputs (STAT, INT)
The STAT/INT output is used to indicate operation conditions for bq2426x. STAT/INT is pulled low during
charging when EN_STAT bit in the control register is set to 1. When charge is complete or disabled, STAT/INT
is high impedance. When a fault occurs, a 128-s pulse (interrupt) is sent out to notify the host. The status of
STAT/INT during different operation conditions is summarized in Table 1. STAT/INT drives an LED for visual
indication or can be connected to the logic rail for host communication. The EN_STAT bit in the control register is
used to enable/disable the charge status for STAT/INT. The interrupt pulses are unaffected by EN_STAT and will
always be shown.

8.4.19 Boost Mode Operation

In HOST mode, when the operation mode bit (BOOST_EN) in the control register is set to 1, bq2426x operates
in boost mode and delivers 5V to IN to supply USB OTG devices connected to the USB connector. Boost
operation can start with VBAT between 3.45V to 4.5V, and will maintain boost output until VBAT falls to 3.3V. IN
supplies up to 1A to power these devices. It is not recommended to operate boost mode when the battery
voltage is less than 3.3V. Proper operation is not guaranteed.
8.4.19.1 Chip Disable Input During Boost Mode (CD)
The bq2426x contains a CD input that is used to disable the IC and place the bq2426x into high-impedance
mode. CD must be low to enter boost mode. Driving CD high during boost mode places the bq2426x into high-z
mode and resets the BOOST_EN bit in the I2C. When CD is high, the buck converter is off, and the battery FET
and BGATE are turned on. CD is internally pulled down to GND with a 100k resistor.
8.4.19.2 PWM Controller in Boost Mode
Similar to charge mode operation, in boost mode the IC switches at 1.5MHz to regulate the voltage at IN to 5V.
The voltage control loop is internally compensated to provide enough phase margin for stable operation with the
full battery voltage range and up to 1A.
In boost mode, the cycle-by-cycle current limit is set to 4A or 2A (depending on the I2C setting) to provide
protection against short circuit conditions. If the cycle-by-cycle current limit is active for 8ms, an overload
condition is detected and the device exits boost mode, and signals an over-current fault. Additionally, discharge
current limit (ILIM(DISCHG)) is active to protect the battery from overload. Synchronous operation and burst mode
are used to maximize efficiency over the full load range.
The bq2426x will not enter boost mode unless the IN voltage is less than the UVLO. When the boost function is
enabled, the bq2426x enters a linear mode to bring IN up to the battery voltage. Once VIN > (VBAT 1V), the
bq2426x begins switching and regulates IN up to 5V. If VIN does not rise to within 1V of VBAT within 8ms, an
over-current event is detected and boost mode is exited and a boost mode over-current event is announced, the
BOOST_EN bit is reset to 0 and the STAT_x and FAULT_x bits in the Status/ Control register are updated.
8.4.19.3 Burst Mode during Light Load
In boost mode, the IC operates using burst mode to improve light load efficiency and reduce power loss. During
boost mode, the PWM converter is turned off when the device reaches minimum duty cycle and the output
voltage rises to VBURST(ENT) threshold. This corresponds to approximately a 75mA inductor current. The converter
then restarts when VIN falls to VBURST(EXT). See Figure 30 in the Typical Operating Characteristics for an example
waveform.

8.4.19.4 Watchdog Timer in Boost Mode

During boost mode, the watchdog timer is active. The watchdog timer works the same as in charge mode. Write
a 1 to the TMR_RST reset bit in the control register. If the watchdog timer expires, the IC resets the
EN_BOOST bit to 0, signals the fault pulse on the STAT and INT terminals. The FAULT_x bits read "Low Supply
Fault" as this is a higher priority fault than the WD timer.
8.4.19.5 STAT/ INT During Boost Mode
During boost mode, the STAT and INT outputs are high impedance. Under fault conditions, a 128s pulse is sent
out to notify the host of the error condition.
8.4.19.6 Protection in Boost Mode
8.4.19.6.1
Output Over-Voltage Protection
The bq2426x contains integrated over-voltage protection on the IN terminal. During boost mode, if an
over-voltage condition is detected (VIN > VBOOSTOVP), after deglitch tDGL(BOOST_OVP), the IC turns off the
PWM converter, resets EN_BOOST bit to 0, sets fault status bits and sends out a fault pulse on STAT
and INT. The converter does not restart when VIN drops to the normal level until the EN_BOOST bit is
reset to 1.
8.4.19.6.2
Output Over-Current Protection
The bq2426x contains over current protection to prevent the device and battery damage when IN is
overloaded. When an over-current condition occurs, the cycle-by-cycle current limit limits the current from
the battery to the load. If the overload condition lasts for 8ms, the overload fault is detected. When an
overload condition is detected, the bq2426x turns off the PWM converter, resets EN_BOOST bit to 0,
sets the fault status bits and sends out the fault pulse on STAT and INT. The boost operation starts only
after the fault is cleared and the EN_BOOST bit is reset to 1 using the I2C.
8.4.19.6.3
Battery Voltage Protection
During boost mode, when the battery voltage is below the minimum battery voltage threshold, VBATUVLO,
the IC turns off the PWM converter, resets EN_BOOST bit to 0, sets fault status bits and sends out a
fault pulse on STAT and INT. Once the battery voltage returns to the acceptable level, the boost starts
only after the EN_BOOST bit is set to 1. Proper operation below 3.3V down to the VBATUVLOis not
specified.
8.5 Programming
8.5.1 Serial Interface Description
The bq24260 uses an I2C compatible interface to program charge parameters. I2C is a 2-wire serial interface
developed by NXP (formerly Philips Semiconductor, see I2C-Bus Specification, Version 5, October 2012). The
bus consists of a data line (SDA) and a clock line (SCL) with pull-up structures. When the bus is idle, both SDA
and SCL lines are pulled high. All the I2C compatible devices connect to the I2C bus through open drain I/O
terminals, SDA and SCL. A master device, usually a microcontroller or a digital signal processor, controls the
bus. The master is responsible for generating the SCL signal and device addresses. The master also generates
specific conditions that indicate the START and STOP of data transfer. A slave device receives and/or transmits
data on the bus under control of the master device.
The bq2426x device works as a slave and supports the following data transfer modes, as defined in the I2C
Bus Specification: standard mode (100 kbps) and fast mode (400 kbps). The interface adds flexibility to the
battery charge solution, enabling most functions to be programmed to new values depending on the
instantaneous application requirements. The I2C circuitry is powered from IN when a supply is connected. If the
IN supply is not connected, the I2C circuitry is powered from the battery through BAT. The battery voltage must
stay above VBATUVLO with no input connected in order to maintain proper operation.
The data transfer protocol for standard and fast modes is exactly the same; therefore, they are referred to as the
F/S-mode in this document. The bq24260/1/2 device only supports 7-bit addressing. The device 7-bit address is
defined as 1101011 (0x6Bh).
26
bq24260
bq24261, bq24262

Programming (continued)
To avoid I2C hang-ups, a timer (tI2CRESET) runs during I2C transactions. If the transaction takes longer than
tI2CRESET, any additional commands are ignored and the I2C engine is reset. The timeout is reset with START
and repeated START conditions and stops when a valid STOP condition is sent.
8.5.2 F/S Mode Protocol
The master initiates data transfer by generating a start condition. The start condition is when a high-to-low
transition occurs on the SDA line while SCL is high, as shown in Figure 15. All I2C -compatible devices should
recognize a start condition.
DATA
CLK
S
START Condition
STOP Condition
Figure 15. START and STOP Condition

The master then generates the SCL pulses, and transmits the 8-bit address and the read/write direction bit R/W
on the SDA line. During all transmissions, the master ensures that data is valid. A valid data condition requires
the SDA line to be stable during the entire high period of the clock pulse (see Figure 16). All devices recognize
the address sent by the master and compare it to their internal fixed addresses. Only the slave device with a
matching address generates an acknowledge (see Figure 17) by pulling the SDA line low during the entire high
period of the ninth SCL cycle. Upon detecting this acknowledge, the master knows that communication link with a
slave has been established.

Figure 16. Bit Transfer on the Serial Interface

The master generates further SCL cycles to either transmit data to the slave (R/W bit 0) or receive data from the
slave (R/W bit 1. In either case, the receiver needs to acknowledge the data sent by the transmitter. So an
acknowledge signal can either be generated by the master or by the slave, depending on which one is the
receiver. The 9-bit valid data sequences consisting of 8-bit data and 1-bit acknowledge can continue as long as
necessary. To signal the end of the data transfer, the master generates a stop condition by pulling the SDA line
from low to high while the SCL line is high (see Figure 15). This releases the bus and stops the communication
link with the addressed slave. All I2C compatible devices must recognize the stop condition. Upon the receipt of
a stop condition, all devices know that the bus is released, and wait for a start condition followed by a matching
address. If a transaction is terminated prematurely, the master needs to send a STOP condition to prevent the
slave I2C logic from remaining in a incorrect state. Attempting to read data from register addresses not listed in
this section will result in 0xFFh being read out.

The EN_BOOST bit selects the operation mode for the bq2426x. Write a 1 to enable boost mode and

EN_SHIPMODE Bit
Writing the EN_SHIPMODE bit to a 1 latches off the IC, battery FET and BGATE until a high to low
transition on UVLO occurs. This means that if EN_SHIPMODE is written to a 1 while the input is
connected, it must first be removed and then replaced before the battery FET turns on. This allows the
end product with no load on the battery and the end user will enable the device by plugging it into the
adapter. The EN_SHIPMODE bit can be cleared using the I2C interface as well.

When in DEFAULT mode, the PSEL (bq24261/2) determine the default input current limit.
RESET Bit
The RESET bit in the control register (0x01h) is used to reset all the charge parameters. Write 1 to
RESET bit to reset all the registers to default values and place the bq2426x into DEFAULT mode and turn
off the watchdog timer. The RESET bit is automatically cleared to zero once the bq2426x enters
DEFAULT mode.
CE Bit (Charge Enable)
The CE bit is used to disable or enable the charge process. A low logic level (0) on this bit enables the
charge and a high logic level (1) disables the charge. When charge is disabled, the SYS output regulates
to VSYS(REG) and battery is disconnected from the SYS. Supplement mode is available if the system load
demands cannot be met by the supply.
HZ_MODE Bit (High Impedance Mode Enable)
The HZ_MODE bit is used to disable or enable the high impedance mode. A low logic level (0) on this bit
enables the IC and a high logic level (1) puts the IC in a low quiescent current state called high
impedance mode. When in high impedance mode, the converter is off and the battery FET and BGATE
are on. The load on SYS is supplied by the battery. BGATE is low (external FET turned on) while in high
impedance mode.

The typical application circuit shows the minimum capacitance requirements for each pin. Options for sizing the
inductor outside the 1.5 H recommended value and additional SYS pin capacitance are explained in the next
section. The resistors on STAT and INT are sized per each LED's current requirements. The TS resistor divider

9.2.3 Output Inductor and Capacitor Selection Guidelines
When selecting an inductor, several attributes must be examined to find the right part for the application. First,
the inductance value should be selected. The bq2426x is designed to work with 1.5H to 2.2H inductors. The
chosen value will have an effect on efficiency and package size. Due to the smaller current ripple, some
efficiency gain is reached using the 2.2H inductor, however, due to the physical size of the inductor, this may
not be a viable option. The 1.5H inductor provides a good tradeoff between size and efficiency.
Once the inductance has been selected, the peak current must be calculated in order to choose the current
rating of the inductor. Use Equation 5 to calculate the peak current.
%
IPEAK = ILOAD(MAX) 1 + RIPPPLE

2
(5)
The inductor selected must have a saturation current rating greater than or equal to the calculated IPEAK. Due to
the high currents possible with the bq2426x, a thermal analysis must also be done for the inductor. Many
inductors have 40C temperature rise rating. This is the DC current that will cause a 40C temperature rise
above the ambient temperature in the inductor. For this analysis, the typical load current may be used adjusted
for the duty cycle of the load transients. For example, if the application requires a 1.5A DC load with peaks at
2.5A 20% of the time, a 40C temperature rise current must be greater than 1.7A:
ITEMPRISE = ILOAD + D (IPEAK ILOAD) = 1.5 A + 0.2 (2.5 A 1.5 A) = 1.7 A
The internal loop compensation of the bq2426x is designed to be stable with 10F to 150F of local capacitance
but requires at least 20F total capacitance on the SYS rail (10F local + 10F distributed). The capacitance on
the SYS rail can be higher than 150F if distributed amongst the rail. To reduce the output voltage ripple, a
ceramic capacitor with the capacitance between 10F and 47F is recommended for local bypass to SYS. If
greater than 100F effective capacitance is on the SYS rail, place at least 10F bypass on the BAT terminal. Pay
special attention to the DC bias characteristics of ceramic capacitors. For small case sizes, the capacitance can
be derated as high as 70% at workable voltages. All capacitances specified in this datasheet are effective
capacitance, not capacitor value.

10 Power Supply Recommendations

10.1 Requirements for SYS Output
In order to provide an output voltage on SYS, the bq2426x requires either a power supply between 4.2 V and 6.0
V input on all versions, 4.2 V and 6.5 V for IN input on bq24262, 4.2 V and 10.5 V on bq24260, and 4.2 and 14 V
on bq24261 with at least 100 mA current rating connected to IN; or, a single-cell Li-Ion battery with voltage >
VBATUVLO connected to BAT. The source current rating needs to be at least 2.5 A in order for the buck
converter of the charger to provide maximum output power to SYS.
10.2 Requirements for Charging

In order for charging to occur the source voltage measured at the IN terminals of the IC, factoring in cable/trace
losses from the source, must be greater than the VINDPM threshold, but less than the maximum values shown
above. The current rating of the source must be higher than the buck converter needs to provide the load on
SYS. For charging at a desired charge current of ICHRG, VIN x IIN x > VSYS x (ISYS+ ICHRG) where is the
efficiency estimate from Figure 2 or Figure 3 and VSYS = VBAT when VBAT charges above VMINSYS. The
charger limits IIN to the current limit setting of that input. With ISYS = 0 A, the charger consumes maximum
power at the end of CC mode, when the voltage at the BAT terminal is near VBATREG but ICHRG has not
started to taper off toward ITERM.

11 Layout
11.1 Layout Guidelines
The following provides some guidelines:
Place 1F input capacitor as close to PMID terminal and PGND terminal as possible to make high frequency
current loop area as small as possible.
Connect the GND of the PMID and IN caps as close as possible.
Place 4.7F input capacitor as close to IN terminal and PGND terminal as possible to make high frequency
current loop area as small as possible.
The local bypass capacitor from SYS to GND should be connected between the SYS terminal and PGND of
the IC. The intent is to minimize the current path loop area from the SW terminal through the LC filter and
back to the PGND terminal.
Place all decoupling capacitors close to their respective IC terminal and as close as to PGND as possible. Do
not place components such that routing interrupts power stage currents. All small control signals should be
routed away from the high current paths.
The PCB should have a ground plane (return) connected directly to the return of all components through vias.
Two vias per capacitor for power-stage capacitors and one via per capacitor for small-signal components. It is
also recommended to put vias inside the PGND pads for the IC, if possible. A star ground design approach is
typically used to keep circuit block currents isolated (high-power/low-power small-signal) which reduces noisecoupling and ground-bounce issues. A single ground plane for this design gives good results.
The high-current charge paths into IN, BAT, SYS and from the SW terminals must be sized appropriately for
the maximum charge current in order to avoid voltage drops in these traces. The PGND terminals should be
connected to the ground plane to return current through the internal low-side FET.
For high-current applications, the balls for the power paths should be connected to as much copper in the
board as possible. This allows better thermal performance as the board pulls heat away from the IC.
11.2 Layout Example

It is important to pay special attention to the PCB layout. Figure 35 provides a sample layout for the high current
paths of the bq2426xYFF. Figure 36 provides a sample layout for the high current paths of the bq2426xRGE.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Texas Instruments Incorporated and its subsidiaries (TI) reserve the right to make corrections, enhancements, improvements and other
changes to its semiconductor products and services per JESD46, latest issue, and to discontinue any product or service per JESD48, latest
issue. Buyers should obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and
complete. All semiconductor products (also referred to herein as components) are sold subject to TIs terms and conditions of sale
supplied at the time of order acknowledgment.
TI warrants performance of its components to the specifications applicable at the time of sale, in accordance with the warranty in TIs terms
and conditions of sale of semiconductor products. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary
to support this warranty. Except where mandated by applicable law, testing of all parameters of each component is not necessarily
performed.
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or the design of Buyers products. Buyers are responsible for their products and
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with Buyers products and applications, Buyers should provide
adequate design and operating safeguards.
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or
other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI components or services are used. Information
published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services or a warranty or
endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the
third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration
and is accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered
documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions.
Resale of TI components or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that component or service
voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI component or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice.
TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.
Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for compliance with all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements
concerning its products, and any use of TI components in its applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support
that may be provided by TI. Buyer represents and agrees that it has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards which
anticipate dangerous consequences of failures, monitor failures and their consequences, lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause
harm and take appropriate remedial actions. Buyer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use
of any TI components in safety-critical applications.
In some cases, TI components may be promoted specifically to facilitate safety-related applications. With such components, TIs goal is to
help enable customers to design and create their own end-product solutions that meet applicable functional safety standards and
requirements. Nonetheless, such components are subject to these terms.
No TI components are authorized for use in FDA Class III (or similar life-critical medical equipment) unless authorized officers of the parties
have executed a special agreement specifically governing such use.
Only those TI components which TI has specifically designated as military grade or enhanced plastic are designed and intended for use in
military/aerospace applications or environments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any military or aerospace use of TI components
which have not been so designated is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all legal and
regulatory requirements in connection with such use.
TI has specifically designated certain components as meeting ISO/TS16949 requirements, mainly for automotive use. In any case of use of
non-designated products, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet ISO/TS16949.
