5 Description (Continued)
The device supports 3.9 V 6.2 V USB input sources, including standard USB host port and USB charging port
with 6.4 V overvoltage protection. The device supports USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 power specifications with input
current and voltage regulation. To set the default input current limit, the bq24259 takes the result from the
detection circuit in the system, such as USB PHY device. The device also supports USB On-the-Go operation by
providing fast startup and supplying adjustable voltage 4.55 V 5.5 V (default 5 V) on the VBUS with an
accurate current limit up to 1.5 A.
The power path management regulates the system slightly above battery voltage but does not drop below 3.5 V
minimum system voltage (programmable). With this feature, the system keeps operating even when the battery
is completely depleted or removed. When the input source current or voltage limit is reached, the power path
management automatically reduces the charge current to zero and then starts discharges the battery until the
system power requirement is met. This supplement mode operation keeps the input source from getting
overloaded.
The device initiates and completes a charging cycle when host control is not available. It automatically charges
the battery in three phases: pre-conditioning, constant current and constant voltage. In the end, the charger
automatically terminates when the charge current is below a preset limit in the constant voltage phase. Later on,
when the battery voltage falls below the recharge threshold, the charger will automatically start another charging
cycle.
The charge device provides various safety features for battery charging and system operation, including negative
thermistor monitoring, charging safety timer and over-voltage/over-current protections. The thermal regulation
reduces charge current when the junction temperature exceeds 120C (programmable).
The STAT output reports the charging status and any fault conditions. The INT immediately notifies host when
fault occurs.
The bq24259 is available in a 24-pin, 4 x 4 mm2 thin VQFN package.

TYPE DESCRIPTION
NAME NUMBER
Charger Input Voltage. The internal n-channel reverse block MOSFET (RBFET) is connected between VBUS and
VBUS 1, 24 P PMID with VBUS on source. Place a 1-F ceramic capacitor from VBUS to PGND and place it as close as possible
to IC.
PSEL 2 I Power source selection input. High indicates a USB host source and Low indicates an adapter source.
Open drain active low power good indicator. Connect to the pull up rail via 10-k resistor. LOW indicates a good
PG 3 O input source if the input voltage is between UVLO and ACOV, above SLEEP mode threshold, and current limit is
above 30 mA.
Open drain charge status output to indicate various charger operation. Connect to the pull up rail via 10-k resistor.
STAT 4 O LOW indicates charge in progress. HIGH indicates charge complete or charge disabled. When any fault condition
occurs, STAT pin in the charge blinks at 1 Hz.
SCL 5 I I2C Interface clock. Connect SCL to the logic rail through a 10-k resistor.
SDA 6 I/O I2C Interface data. Connect SDA to the logic rail through a 10-k resistor.
Open-drain Interrupt Output. Connect the INT to a logic rail via 10-k resistor. The INT pin sends active low, 256-s
INT 7 O
pulse to host to report charger device status and fault.
USB current limit selection pin during buck mode, and active high enable pin during boost mode.
I For bq24259, when in buck mode with USB host (PSEL = High), when OTG = High, IIN limit = 500 mA and when
OTG 8
Digital OTG = Low, IIN limit = 100 mA.
The boost mode is activated when the REG01[5] = 1 and OTG pin is High.
Active low Charge Enable pin. Battery charging is enabled when REG01[5:4] = 01 and CE pin = Low. CE pin must
CE 9 I
be pulled high or low.
ILIM pin sets the maximum input current limit by regulating the ILIM voltage at 1 V. A resistor is connected from
ILIM 10 I ILIM pin to ground to set the maximum limit as IINMAX = (1V/RILIM) KILIM. The actual input current limit is the lower
one set by ILIM and by I2C REG00[2:0]. The minimum input current programmed on ILIM pin is 500 mA.
I Temperature qualification voltage input. Connect a negative temperature coefficient thermistor. Program
TS 11 temperature window with a resistor divider from REGN to TS to GND. Charge suspends or Boost disable when TS
Analog pin is out of range. A 103AT-2 thermistor is recommended.
BATFET enable control in shipping mode. A logic low to high transition on this pin with minimum 2ms high level
turns on BATFET to exit shipping mode. It has internal 1M (Typ) pull down. For backward compatibility, when
QON 12 I
BATFET enable control function is not used, the pin can be a no connect or tied to TS pin (10k NTC thermistor
only). (Refer to Shipping Mode for detail description).
Battery connection point to the positive pin of the battery pack. The internal BATFET is connected between BAT
BAT 13,14 P
and SYS. Connect a 10 F closely to the BAT pin.

8.3 Feature Description

8.3.1 Device Power Up
8.3.1.1 Power-On-Reset (POR)

The internal bias circuits are powered from the higher voltage of VBUS and BAT. When VBUS or VBAT rises
above UVLOZ, the sleep comparator, battery depletion comparator and BATFET driver are active. I2C interface
is ready for communication and all the registers are reset to default value. The host can access all the registers
after POR.
8.3.1.2 Power Up from Battery without DC Source

If only battery is present and the voltage is above depletion threshold (VBAT_DEPL), the BATFET turns on and
connects battery to system. The REGN LDO stays off to minimize the quiescent current. The low RDS(ON) in
BATFET and the low quiescent current on BAT minimize the conduction loss and maximize the battery run time.
8.3.1.2.1 BATFET Turn Off

The BATFET can be forced off by the host through I2C REG07[5]. This bit allows the user to independently turn
off the BATFET when the battery condition becomes abnormal during charging. When BATFET is off, there is no
path to charge or discharge the battery. When battery is not attached, the BATFET should be turned off by
setting REG07[5] to 1 to disable charging and supplement mode.
8.3.1.2.2 Shipping Mode

To extend battery life and minimize power when system is powered off during system idle, shipping, or storage,
the device can turn off BATFET so that the system voltage is zero to minimize the leakage. The BATFET can be
turned off by setting REG07[5] (BATFET_DISABLE) bit.
In order to keep BATFET off during shipping mode, the host has to disable the watchdog timer (REG05[5:4] =
00) and disable BATFET (REG07[5] = 1) at the same time. Once the BATFET is disabled, one of the following
events can turn on BATFET and clear REG07[5] (BATFET_DISABLE) bit.
1. Plug in adapter
2. Write REG07[5] = 0
3. watchdog timer expiration
4. Register reset (REG01[7] = 1)
5. A logic low to high transition on QON pin (refer to Figure 11 for detail timing)

8.3.1.3 Power Up from DC Source

When the DC source plugs in, the charger device checks the input source voltage to turn on REGN LDO and all
the bias circuits. It also checks the input current limit before starts the buck converter.

bq24259
Feature Description (continued)

8.3.1.3.1 REGN LDO
The REGN LDO supplies internal bias circuits as well as the HSFET and LSFET gate drive. The LDO also
provides bias rail to TS external resistors. The pull-up rail of STAT and PG (bq24259) can be connected to
REGN as well.
The REGN is enabled when all the conditions are valid.
1. VBUS above VVBUS_UVLOZ
2. VBUS above VBAT + VSLEEPZ in buck mode or VBUS below VBAT + VSLEEP in boost mode
3. After typical 220-ms delay (100 ms minimum) is complete
If one of the above conditions is not valid, the device is in high impedance mode (HIZ) with REGN LDO off. The
device draws less than I(VBUS) (15 A typical) from VBUS during HIZ state. The battery powers up the system
when the device is in HIZ.
8.3.1.3.2 Input Source Qualification

After REGN LDO powers up, the device checks the current capability of the input source. The input source has
to meet the following requirements to start the buck converter.
1. VBUS voltage below V(ACOV) (not in VBUS overvoltage)
2. VBUS voltage above V(BADSRC) (3.8 V typical) when pulling I(BADSRC) (30 mA typical) (poor source detection)
Once the input source passes all the conditions above, the status register REG08[2] goes high and the PG pin
(bq24259) goes low. An INT is asserted to the host.
If the device fails the poor source detection, it will repeat the detection every 2 seconds.
8.3.1.3.3 Input Current Limit Detection

After the PG is LOW (bq24259) or REG08[2] goes HIGH, the charger device always runs input current limit
detection when a DC source plugs in unless the charger is in HIZ during host mode.
The bq24259 sets input current limit through PSEL and OTG pins. After the input current limit detection is done,
the detection result is reported in VBUS_STAT registers (REG08[7:6]) and input current limit is updated in IINLIM
register (REG00[2:0]). In addition, host can write to REG00[2:0] to change the input current limit.
8.3.1.3.4 PSEL/OTG Pins Set Input Current Limit

The bq24259 has PSEL pin which directly takes the USB PHY device output to decide whether the input is USB
host or charging port.
Table 2. Input Current Limit Detection

PSEL OTG INPUT CURRENT LIMIT REG08[7:6]
HIGH LOW 100 mA 01
HIGH HIGH 500 mA 01
LOW 3A 10
8.3.1.3.5 HIZ State with 100 mA USB Host

In battery charging spec, the good battery threshold is the minimum charge level of a battery to power up the
portable device successfully. When the input source is 100-mA USB host, and the battery is above bat-good
threshold (VBATGD), the device follows battery charging spec and enters high impedance state (HIZ). In HIZ state,
the device is in the lowest quiescent state with REGN LDO and the bias circuits off. The charger device sets
REG00[7] to 1, and the VBUS current during HIZ state will be less than 30 A. The system is supplied by the
battery.
Once the charger device enters HIZ state in host mode, it stays in HIZ until the host writes REG00[7] = 0. When
the processor host wakes up, it is recommended to first check if the charger is in HIZ state.
In default mode, the charger IC will reset REG00[7] back to 0 when input source is removed. When another
source plugs in, the charger IC will run detection again, and update the input current limit.

bq24259
8.3.1.3.6 Force Input Current Limit Detection

While adapter is plugged-in, the host can force the charger device to run input current limit detection by setting
REG07[7] = 1 or when watchdog timeout. During the forced detection, the input current limit is set to 100 mA.
After the detection is completed, REG07[7] will return to 0 by itself and new input current limit is set based on
PSEL/OTG (bq24259).
8.3.1.4 Converter Power-Up

After the input current limit is set, the converter is enabled and the HSFET and LSFET start switching. If battery
charging is disabled, BATFET turns off. Otherwise, BATFET stays on to charge the battery.
The device provides soft-start when ramp up the system rail. When the system rail is below 2.2 V, the input
current limit is forced to 100mA. After the system rises above 2.2 V, the charger device sets the input current
limit set by the lower value between register and ILIM pin.
As a battery charger, the charger deploys a 1.5-MHz step-down switching regulator. The fixed frequency
oscillator keeps tight control of the switching frequency under all conditions of input voltage, battery voltage,
charge current and temperature, simplifying output filter design.
A type III compensation network allows using ceramic capacitors at the output of the converter. An internal saw-
tooth ramp is compared to the internal error control signal to vary the duty cycle of the converter. The ramp
height is proportional to the PMID voltage to cancel out any loop gain variation due to a change in input voltage.
In order to improve light-load efficiency, the device switches to PFM control at light load when battery is below
minimum system voltage setting or charging is disabled. During the PFM operation, the switching duty cycle is
set by the ratio of SYS and VBUS.
8.3.1.5 Boost Mode Operation from Battery

The device supports boost converter operation to deliver power from the battery to other portable devices
through USB port. The boost mode output current rating meets the USB On-The-Go 1-A output requirement. The
maximum output current is 1.5 A. The boost operation can be enabled if the following conditions are valid:
1. BAT above BATLOWV threshold (VBATLOWV set by REG04[1])
2. VBUS less than VBAT + VSLEEP (in sleep mode)
3. Boost mode operation is enabled (OTG pin HIGH and REG01[5:4] = 10)
4. Thermistor Temperature is within boost mode temperature monitor threshold unless BHOT[1:0] is set to 11
(REG06[1:0]) to disable this monitor function
5. After 30 ms delay from boost mode enable
In boost mode, the device employs a 1.5-MHz step-up switching regulator. Similar to buck operation, the device
switches from PWM operation to PFM operation at light load to improve efficiency.
During boost mode, the status register REG08[7:6] is set to 11, the VBUS output is 5 V and the output current
can reach up to 1 A or 1.5 A, selected via I2C (REG01[0]). In addition, the device provides adjustable boost
voltage from 4.55 V to 5.5 V by changing BOOSTV bits in REG06[7:4]
Any fault during boost operation, including VBUS over-voltage or over-current, sets the fault register REG09[6] to
1 and an INT is asserted.
8.3.2 Power Path Management

The device accommodates a wide range of input sources from USB, wall adapter, to car battery. The device
provides automatic power path selection to supply the system (SYS) from input source (VBUS), battery (BAT), or
both.
8.3.2.1 Narrow VDC Architecture

The device deploys Narrow VDC architecture (NVDC) with BATFET separating system from battery. The
minimum system voltage is set by REG01[3:1]. Even with a fully depleted battery, the system is regulated above
the minimum system voltage (default 3.5 V).

bq24259
When the battery is below minimum system voltage setting, the BATFET operates in linear mode (LDO mode),
and the system is 150 mV above the minimum system voltage setting. As the battery voltage rises above the
minimum system voltage, BATFET is fully on and the voltage difference between the system and battery is the
VDS of BATFET. The status register REG08[0] goes high when the system is in minimum system voltage
regulation.
When the battery charging is disabled or terminated, and the battery voltage is above the minimum system
voltage setting, the system is always regulated at 70 mV above the battery voltage.

8.3.2.2 Dynamic Power Management

To meet maximum current limit in USB spec and avoid over loading the adapter, the device features Dynamic
Power Management (DPM), which continuously monitors the input current and input voltage.
When input source is over-loaded, either the current exceeds the input current limit (REG00[2:0]) or the voltage
falls below the input voltage limit (REG00[6:3]). The device then reduces the charge current until the input current
falls below the input current limit and the input voltage rises above the input voltage limit.
When the charge current is reduced to zero, but the input source is still overloaded, the system voltage starts to
drop. Once the system voltage falls below the battery voltage, the device automatically enters the supplement
mode where the BATFET turns on and battery starts discharging so that the system is supported from both the
input source and battery.
During DPM mode (either VIN(DPM) or IIN(DPM)), the status register REG08[3] will go high.
Figure 13 shows the DPM response with 5-V/1.2-A adapter, 3.2-V battery, 2-A charge current and 3.4-V
minimum system voltage setting.

8.3.2.3 Supplement Mode

When the system voltage falls below the battery voltage, the BATFET turns on and the BATFET gate is
regulated the gate drive of BATFET so that the minimum BATFET VDS stays at 30 mV when the current is low.
This prevents oscillation from entering and exiting the supplement mode. As the discharge current increases, the
BATFET gate is regulated with a higher voltage to reduce RDS(ON) until the BATFET is in full conduction. At this
point onwards, the BATFET VDS linearly increases with discharge current. Figure 14 shows the V-I curve of the
BATFET gate regulation operation. BATFET turns off to exit supplement mode when the battery is below battery
depletion threshold.

8.3.3 Battery Charging Management

The device charges 1-cell Li-Ion battery with up to 2-A charge current for high capacity tablet battery. The 24-m
BATFET improves charging efficiency and minimizes the voltage drop during discharging.
8.3.3.1 Autonomous Charging Cycle

With battery charging enabled at POR (REG01[5:4] = 01), the charger device complete a charging cycle without
host involvement. The device default charging parameters are listed in Table 3.
Table 3. Charging Parameter Default Setting

DEFAULT MODE bq24259

Charging current 2.048 A
Pre-charge current 128 mA
Termination current 256 mA
Temperature profile Hot/Cold
Safety timer 12 hours (1)
(1) See Charging Safety Timer for more information.
A new charge cycle starts when the following conditions are valid:
Converter starts
Battery charging is enabled by I2C register bit (REG01[5:4]) = 01 and CE is low
No thermistor fault on TS
No safety timer fault
BATFET is not forced to turn off (REG07[5])
The charger device automatically terminates the charging cycle when the charging current is below termination
threshold and charge voltage is above recharge threshold. When a full battery voltage is discharged below
recharge threshold (REG04[0]), the device automatically starts another charging cycle. After the charge done,
either toggle CE pin or REG01[5:4] will initiate a new charging cycle.
The STAT output indicates the charging status of charging (LOW), charging complete or charge disable (HIGH)
or charging fault (Blinking). The status register REG08[5:4] indicates the different charging phases: 00-charging
disable, 01-precharge, 10-fast charge (constant current) and constant voltage mode, 11-charging done. Once a
charging cycle is complete, an INT is asserted to notify the host.
The host can always control the charging operation and optimize the charging parameters by writing to the
registers through I2C.
8.3.3.2 Battery Charging Profile

The device charges the battery in three phases: preconditioning, constant current and constant voltage. At the
beginning of a charging cycle, the device checks the battery voltage and applies current.

8.3.3.3 Thermistor Qualification

The charger device provides a single thermistor input for battery temperature monitor.
8.3.3.3.1 Cold/Hot Temperature Window

The device continuously monitors battery temperature by measuring the voltage between the TS pin and ground,
typically determined by a negative temperature coefficient thermistor and an external voltage divider. The device
compares this voltage against its internal thresholds to determine if charge or boost is allowed.
To initiate a charge cycle, the battery temperature must be within the V(LTF) to V(HTF) thresholds. During the
charge cycle the battery temperature must be within the V(LTF) to V(TCO) thresholds, else the device suspends
charging and waits until the battery temperature is within the V(LTF) to V(HTF) range.
For battery protection during boost mode, the device monitors the battery temperature to be within the V(BCOLDx)
to VB(HOTx) thresholds unless boost mode temperature is disabled by setting BHOT bits (REG06[3:2]) to 11.
When temperature is outside of the temperature thresholds, the boost mode is suspended and REG08[7:6] bits
(VBUS_STAT) are set to 00. Once temperature returns within thresholds, the boost mode is recovered.

8.3.3.4 Charging Termination

The device terminates a charge cycle when the battery voltage is above recharge threshold, and the current is
below termination current. After the charging cycle is complete, the BATFET turns off. The converter keeps
running to power the system, and BATFET can turn back on to engage supplement mode.
When termination occurs, the status register REG08[5:4] is 11, and an INT is asserted to the host. Termination is
temporarily disabled if the charger device is in input current/voltage regulation or thermal regulation. Termination
can be disabled by writing 0 to REG05[7].
8.3.3.4.1 Termination When REG02[0] = 1

When REG02[0] is HIGH to reduce the charging current by 80%, the charging current could be less than the
termination current. The charger device termination function should be disabled. When the battery is charged to
fully capacity, the host disables charging through CE pin or REG01[5:4].
8.3.3.5 Charging Safety Timer

The device has safety timer to prevent extended charging cycle due to abnormal battery conditions. The safety
timer is 4 hours when the battery is below batlowv threshold. The user can program fast charge safety timer
(default 12 hours) through I2C (REG05[2:1]). When safety timer expires, the fault register REG09[5:4] goes 11
and an INT is asserted to the host. The safety timer feature can be disabled via I2C (REG05[3]).
The following actions restart the safety timer after safety timer expires:
Toggle the CE pin HIGH to LOW to HIGH (charge enable)
Write REG01[5:4] from 00 to 01 (charge enable)
Write REG05[3] from 0 to 1 (safety timer enable)
During input voltage/current regulation, thermal regulation, or FORCE_20PCT bit (REG02[0]) is set , the safety
timer counting at half clock rate since the actual charge current is likely to be below the register setting. For
example, if the charger is in input current regulation (IINDPM) throughout the whole charging cycle, and the
safety time is set to 5 hours, the safety timer will expire in 10 hours. This feature can be disabled by writing 0 to
REG07[6].
8.3.3.5.1 Safety Timer Configuration Change

When safety timer value needs to be changed, it is recommended that the timer is disabled first before new
configuration is written to REG05[2:1]. The safety timer can be disable by writing 1 to REG05[3]. This ensures
the safety timer restart counting after new value is configured.
8.3.3.6 USB Timer When Charging from USB100 mA Source

The total charging time in default mode from USB100 mA source is limited by a 45-min max timer. At the end of
the timer, the device stops the converter and goes to HIZ.
8.3.4 Status Outputs (PG, STAT, and INT)
8.3.4.1 Power Good Indicator (PG)

In bq24259,PG goes LOW to indicate a good input source when:
1. VBUS above V(BUS_UVLO)
2. VBUS above battery (not in sleep)
3. VBUS below V(ACOV) threshold
4. VBUS above V(BUS_MIN) when IBADSRC current is applied (not a poor source)
8.3.4.2 Charging Status Indicator (STAT)

The device indicates charging state on the open drain STAT pin. The STAT pin can drive LED as the application
diagram shows.

bq24259
Table 5. STAT Pin State

CHARGING STATE STAT
Charging in progress (including recharge) LOW
Charging complete HIGH
Sleep mode, charge disable HIGH
8.3.4.3 Interrupt to Host (INT)

In some applications, the host does not always monitor the charger operation. The INT notifies the system on the
device operation. The following events will generate a 256-s INT pulse.
1. USB/adapter source identified (through PSEL detection and OTG pin)
2. Good input source detected
not in sleep
VBUS below VACOV threshold
current limit above IBADSRC
3. Input removed or VBUS above VACOV threshold
4. Charge Complete
5. Any FAULT event in REG09
For the first four events, INT pulse is always generated. For the last event, when a fault occurs, the charger
device sends out INT and latches the fault state in REG09 until the host reads the fault register. If a prior fault
exists, the charger device would not send any INT upon new faults except NTC fault (REG09[2:0]). The NTC
fault is not latched and always reports the current thermistor conditions. In order to read the current fault status,
the host has to read REG09 two times consecutively. The 1st reads fault register status from the last read and
the 2nd reads the current fault register status.
8.3.5 Protections
8.3.5.1 Input Current Limit on ILIM

For safe operation, the device has an additional hardware pin on ILIM to limit maximum input current on ILIM pin.
The input maximum current is set by a resistor from ILIM pin to ground as:
1V
IINMAX = KLIM
RILIM (2)
The actual input current limit is the lower value between ILIM setting and register setting (REG00[2:0]). For
example, if the register setting is 111 for 2 A, and ILIM has a 316- resistor to ground for 1.5 A, the input current
limit is 1.5 A. ILIM pin can be used to set the input current limit rather than the register settings.
The device regulates ILIM pin at 1 V. If ILIM voltage exceeds 1 V, the device enters input current regulation
(Refer to the Dynamic Power Management section).
The voltage on ILIM pin is proportional to the input current. ILIM pin can be used to monitor the input current
following Equation 3:
V
IIN = ILIM IINMAX
1V (3)
For example, if ILIM pin sets 2 A, and the ILIM voltage is 0.75 V, the actual input current 1.5 A. If ILIM pin is
open, the input current is limited to zero since ILIM voltage floats above 1 V. If ILIM pin is short, the input current
limit is set by the register.
8.3.5.2 Thermal Regulation and Thermal Shutdown

During charge operation, the device monitors the internal junction temperature TJ to avoid overheat the chip and
limits the IC surface temperature. When the internal junction temperature exceeds the preset limit (REG06[1:0]),
the device lowers down the charge current. The wide thermal regulation range from 60C to 120C allows the
user to optimize the system thermal performance.

bq24259
During thermal regulation, the actual charging current is usually below the programmed battery charging current.
Therefore, termination is disabled, the safety timer runs at half the clock rate, and the status register REG08[1]
goes high.
Additionally, the device has thermal shutdown to turn off the converter. The fault register REG09[5:4] is 10 and
an INT is asserted to the host.
8.3.5.3 Voltage and Current Monitoring in Buck Mode

The device closely monitors the input and system voltage, as well as HSFET current for safe buck mode
operation.
8.3.5.3.1 Input Over Voltage (ACOV)

The maximum input voltage for buck mode operation is V(VBUS_OP). If VBUS voltage exceeds V(ACOV), the device
stops switching immediately. During input over voltage (ACOV), the fault register REG09[5:4] will be set to 01. An
INT is asserted to the host.
8.3.5.3.2 System Over Voltage Protection (SYSOVP)

The charger device clamps the system voltage during load transient so that the components connect to system
would not be damaged due to high voltage. When SYSOVP is detected, the converter stops immediately to
clamp the overshoot.
8.3.5.4 Voltage and Current Monitoring in Boost Mode

The charger device closely monitors the VBUS voltage, as well as LSFET current to ensure safe boost mode
operation.
8.3.5.4.1 Over Current Protection

The charger device closely monitors the RBFET (Q1) and LSFET (Q3) current to ensure safe boost mode
operation. During over-current condition, the device will operate in hiccup mode for protection. While in hiccup
mode cycle, the device turns off RBFET for tOTG_OCP_OFF (32 ms typical) and turns on RBFET for tOTG_OCP_ON
(260 us typical) in an attempt to restart. If the over-current condition is removed, the boost converter will maintain
the RBFET on state and the VBUS OTG output will operate normally. When over-current condition continues to
exist, the device will repeat the hiccup cycle until overcurrent condition is removed. When overcurrent condition is
detected, the fault register bit BOOST_FAULT (REG09[6]) is set high to indicate fault in boost operation. An INT
is asserted to the host.
8.3.5.4.2 VBUS Over Voltage Protection

When an adapter plugs in during boost mode, the VBUS voltage will rise above regulation target. Once the
VBUS voltage exceeds VOTG_OVP, the device stops switching and the device exits boost mode. During the over-
voltage, the fault register bit BOOST_FAULT (REG09[6]) is set high to indicate fault in boost operation. An INT is
asserted to the host.
8.3.5.5 Battery Protection
8.3.5.5.1 Battery Over-Voltage Protection (BATOVP)

The battery over-voltage limit is clamped at V(BAT_OVP) (4% nominal) above the battery regulation voltage. When
battery over voltage occurs, the charger device immediately disables charge. The fault register REG09[3] goes
high and an INT is asserted to the host.
8.3.5.5.2 Battery Short Protection

If the battery voltage falls below V(SHORT) (2 V typical), the device immediately turns off BATFET to disable the
battery charging or supplement mode. 1 ms later, the BATFET turns on and charge the battery with 100-mA
current. The device does not turn on BATFET to discharge a battery that is below 2.5 V.

bq24259
8.4 Device Functional Modes

8.4.1 Host Mode and Default Mode
The device is a host controlled device, but it can operate in default mode without host management. In default
mode, the device can be used as an autonomous charger with no host or with host in sleep.
When the charger is in default mode, REG09[7] is HIGH. When the charger is in host mode, REG09[7] is LOW.
After power-on-reset, the device starts in watchdog timer expiration state, or default mode. All the registers are in
the default settings. The device keeps charging the battery by default with 12-hour fast charging safety timer. At
the end of the 12 hours, the charging is stopped and the buck converter continues to operate to supply system
load.
Any write command to device transitions the device from default mode to host mode. All the device parameters
can be programmed by the host. To keep the device in host mode, the host has to reset the watchdog timer by
writing 1 to REG01[6] before the watchdog timer expires (REG05[5:4]), or disable watchdog timer by setting
REG05[5:4] = 00.
When the host changes watchdog timer configuration (REG05[5:4]), it is recommended to first disable watchdog
by writing 00 to REG05[5:4] and then change the watchdog to new timer values. This ensures the watchdog
timer is restarted after new value is written.

8.4.1.1 Plug in USB100 mA Source with Good Battery

When the input source is detected as 100 mA USB host, and the battery voltage is above batgood threshold
(V(BATGD)), the charger device enters HIZ state to meet the battery charging spec requirement.
If the charger device is in host mode, it will stay in HIZ state even after the USB100 mA source is removed, and
the adapter plugs in. During the HIZ state, REG00[7] is set HIGH and the system load is supplied from battery. It
is recommended that the processor host always checks if the charger IC is in HIZ state when it wakes up. The
host can write REG00[7] to 0 to exit HIZ state.
If the charger is in default mode, when the DC source is removed, the charger device will get out of HIZ state
automatically. When the input source plugs in again, the charger IC runs detection on the input source and
update the input current limit.
8.4.1.2 USB Timer When Charging from USB100 mA Source

The total charging time in default mode from USB100 mA source is limited by a 45-min max timer. At the end of
the timer, the device stops the converter and goes to HIZ.

bq24259
8.5 Programming
8.5.1 Serial Interface
The device uses I2C compatible interface for flexible charging parameter programming and instantaneous device
status reporting. I2C is a bi-directional 2-wire serial interface. Only two bus lines are required: a serial data line
(SDA) and a serial clock line (SCL). Devices can be considered as masters or slaves when performing data
transfers. A master is the device which initiates a data transfer on the bus and generates the clock signals to
permit that transfer. At that time, any device addressed is considered a slave.
The device operates as a slave device with address 6BH, receiving control inputs from the master device like
micro controller or a digital signal processor. The I2C interface supports both standard mode (up to 100 kbits),
and fast mode (up to 400 kbits).
Both SDA and SCL are bi-directional lines, connecting to the positive supply voltage via a current source or pull-
up resistor. When the bus is free, both lines are HIGH. The SDA and SCL pins are open drain.
8.5.1.1 Data Validity

The data on the SDA line must be stable during the HIGH period of the clock. The HIGH or LOW state of the
data line can only change when the clock signal on the SCL line is LOW. One clock pulse is generated for each
data bit transferred.
SDA
SCL
Data line stable; Change

Data valid of data
allowed
Figure 20. Bit Transfer on the I2C Bus
8.5.1.2 START and STOP Conditions

All transactions begin with a START (S) and can be terminated by a STOP (P). A HIGH to LOW transition on the
SDA line while SCl is HIGH defines a START condition. A LOW to HIGH transition on the SDA line when the
SCL is HIGH defines a STOP condition.
START and STOP conditions are always generated by the master. The bus is considered busy after the START
condition, and free after the STOP condition.
SDA SDA
SCL SCL
START (S) STOP (P)

bq24259
Programming (continued)
8.5.1.3 Byte Format
Every byte on the SDA line must be 8 bits long. The number of bytes to be transmitted per transfer is
unrestricted. Each byte has to be followed by an Acknowledge bit. Data is transferred with the Most Significant
Bit (MSB) first. If a slave cannot receive or transmit another complete byte of data until it has performed some
other function, it can hold the clock line SCL low to force the master into a wait state (clock stretching). Data
transfer then continues when the slave is ready for another byte of data and release the clock line SCL.

Figure 22. Data Transfer on the I2C Bus
8.5.1.4 Acknowledge (ACK) and Not Acknowledge (NACK)

The acknowledge takes place after every byte. The acknowledge bit allows the receiver to signal the transmitter
that the byte was successfully received and another byte may be sent. All clock pulses, including the
acknowledge 9th clock pulse, are generated by the master.
The transmitter releases the SDA line during the acknowledge clock pulse so the receiver can pull the SDA line
LOW and it remains stable LOW during the HIGH period of this clock pulse.
When SDA remains HIGH during the 9th clock pulse, this is the Not Acknowledge signal. The master can then
generate either a STOP to abort the transfer or a repeated START to start a new transfer.
8.5.1.5 Slave Address and Data Direction Bit

After the START, a slave address is sent. This address is 7 bits long followed by the eighth bit as a data direction
bit (bit R/W). A zero indicates a transmission (WRITE) and a one indicates a request for data (READ).

Figure 27. Multi-Read
The fault register REG09 locks the previous fault and only clears it after the register is read. For example, if
Charge Safety Timer Expiration fault occurs but recovers later, the fault register REG09 reports the fault when it
is read the first time, but returns to normal when it is read the second time. To verify real time fault, the fault
register REG09 should be read twice to get the real condition. In addition, the fault register REG09 does not
support multi-read or multi-write.
REG09 is a fault register. It keeps all the fault information from last read until the host issues a new read. For
example, if there is a TS fault but gets recovered immediately, the host still sees TS fault during the first read. In
order to get the fault information at present, the host has to read REG09 for the second time. REG09 does not
support multi-read and multi-write.

9.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
9.2.2.1 Inductor Selection

The device has 1.5-MHz switching frequency to allow the use of small inductor and capacitor values. The
Inductor saturation current should be higher than the charging current (ICHG) plus half the ripple current (IRIPPLE):
ISAT ICHG + (1/ 2 ) IRIPPLE (4)
The inductor ripple current depends on input voltage (VBUS), duty cycle (D = VBAT/VVBUS), switching frequency
(fs) and inductance (L):
V D (1 - D)
IRIPPLE = IN
s L (5)
The maximum inductor ripple current happens with D = 0.5 or close to 0.5. Usually inductor ripple is designed in
the range of (20 40%) maximum charging current as a trade-off between inductor size and efficiency for a
practical design.
9.2.2.2 Input Capacitor

Input capacitor should have enough ripple current rating to absorb input switching ripple current. The worst case
RMS ripple current is half of the charging current when duty cycle is 0.5. If the converter does not operate at
50% duty cycle, then the worst case capacitor RMS current I(CIN) occurs where the duty cycle is closest to 50%
and can be estimated by the following equation:
ICIN = ICHG D (1 - D) (6)
For best performance, VBUS should be decouple to PGND with 1-F capacitance. The remaining input capacitor
should be place on PMID.
Low ESR ceramic capacitor such as X7R or X5R is preferred for input decoupling capacitor and should be
placed to the drain of the high side MOSFET and source of the low side MOSFET as close as possible. Voltage
rating of the capacitor must be higher than normal input voltage level. 25-V rating or higher capacitor is preferred
for 15-V input voltage. 22-F capacitance is suggested for typical charging current.
9.2.2.3 Output Capacitor

Output capacitor also should have enough ripple current rating to absorb output switching ripple current. The
output capacitor RMS current ICOUT is given:
I
ICOUT = RIPPLE 0.29 IRIPPLE
2 3 (7)
The output capacitor voltage ripple can be calculated as follows:
VOUT VOUT
DVO = 1 -
8LC s2 VIN
(8)
At certain input/output voltage and switching frequency, the voltage ripple can be reduced by increasing the
output filter LC.
The charger device has internal loop compensator. To get good loop stability, the resonant frequency of the
output inductor and output capacitor should be designed between 24 kHz and 36 kHz. The preferred ceramic
capacitor is 6 V or higher rating, X7R or X5R.

10 Power Supply Recommendations

In order to provide an output voltage on SYS, the bq24259 require a power supply between 3.9 V and 6.2 V input
with at least 100-mA current rating connected to VBUS; or, a single-cell Li-Ion battery with voltage > V(BATUVLO)
connected to BAT. The source current rating needs to be at least 2 A in order for the buck converter of the
charger to provide maximum output power to SYS.
11 Layout
11.1 Layout Guidelines

The switching node rise and fall times should be minimized for minimum switching loss. Proper layout of the
components to minimize high frequency current path loop (see Figure 49) is important to prevent electrical and
magnetic field radiation and high frequency resonant problems. Here is a PCB layout priority list for proper
layout. Layout PCB according to this specific order is essential.
1. Place input capacitor as close as possible to PMID pin and GND pin connections and use shortest copper
trace connection or GND plane.
2. Place inductor input pin to SW pin as close as possible. Minimize the copper area of this trace to lower
electrical and magnetic field radiation but make the trace wide enough to carry the charging current. Do not
use multiple layers in parallel for this connection. Minimize parasitic capacitance from this area to any other
trace or plane.
3. Put output capacitor near to the inductor and the IC. Ground connections need to be tied to the IC ground
with a short copper trace connection or GND plane.
4. Route analog ground separately from power ground. Connect analog ground and connect power ground
separately. Connect analog ground and power ground together using thermal pad as the single ground
connection point. Or using a 0 resistor to tie analog ground to power ground.
5. Use single ground connection to tie charger power ground to charger analog ground. Just beneath the IC.
Use ground copper pour but avoid power pins to reduce inductive and capacitive noise coupling.
6. Decoupling capacitors should be placed next to the IC pins and make trace connection as short as possible.
7. It is critical that the exposed thermal pad on the backside of the IC package be soldered to the PCB ground.
Ensure that there are sufficient thermal vias directly under the IC, connecting to the ground plane on the
other layers.
8. The via size and number should be enough for a given current path.
See the EVM design for the recommended component placement with trace and via locations. For the VQFN
information, refer to SCBA017 and SLUA271.
