DESCRIPTION
The LM3622 is a charge controller for Lithium-Ion

• Versions for Charging of 1 Cell (4.1V or 4.2V)
batteries. This monolithic integrated circuit accurately
or 2 Cells (8.2V or 8.4V)
controls an external pass transistor for precision
• Versions for Coke or Graphite Anode
Lithium-Ion battery charging. The LM3622 provides a
• Precision (±30mV/Cell) End-of-Charge Control
constant voltage or constant current (CVCC)
configuration that changes, as necessary, to optimally
• Wide Input Range: 4.5V-24V
charge lithium-ion battery cells. Voltage charging
• Low Battery Drain Leakage: 200nA
versions (4.1V, 4.2V, 8.2V, and 8.4V) are available
• 15 mA Available to Drive Low Cost PNP
for one or two cell battery packs and for coke or
graphite anode battery chemistry.
APPLICATIONS
The LM3622 accepts input voltages from 4.5V to
• Cellular Phone Cradle Charger 24V. Controller accuracy over temperature is
±30mV/cell for A grade and ±50mV/cell for the
• PDA/Notebook Cradle Charger
standard grade. No precision external resistors are
• Camcorder Cradle Charger
required. Furthermore, the LM3622's proprietary
output voltage sensing circuit drains less than 200nA
from the battery when the input source is
disconnected.
The LM3622 circuitry includes functions for regulating
the charge voltage with a temperature compensated
bandgap reference and regulating the current with an
external sense resistor. The internal bandgap insures
excellent controller performance over the operating
temperature and input supply range.
The LM3622 can sink 15mA minimum at the EXT pin
to drive the base of an external PNP pass transistor.
It also has low-voltage battery threshold circuitry that
removes this drive when the cell voltage drops below
a preset limit. The LV
SEL
pin programs this threshold
voltage to either 2.7V/cell or 2.15V/cell. The low-
voltage detection, which is a user enabled feature,
provides an output signal that can be used to enable
a "wake up charge" source automatically to
precondition a deeply discharged pack.
The LM3622 is available in a standard 8-lead SOIC
surface mount package.
