The MP2672A is a highly integrated, flexible switch-mode battery charger IC for Lithium-ion batteries with two cells in series. This makes it applicable for a wide range of portable applications.
When an input power supply is present, the MP2672A operates in boost mode to charge the battery with two cells in series. When charging is enabled, the MP2672A automatically detects the battery voltage and charges the battery in three phases: pre-charge, constant current charge, and constant voltage charge. Other features include charge termination and auto-recharge.
The device also has a narrow voltage DC (NVDC) power structure. With a deeply discharged battery, the MP2672A regulates the system output to a minimum voltage level. This powers the system instantly while simultaneously charging the battery via the battery FET.
The MP2672A provides a cell balance function. It can monitor the voltage across each cell, then equalize the cell’s voltages if the difference between the two cells exceeds the mismatch threshold.
The device has two configuration modes: standalone mode and host-control mode. In standalone mode, the charging parameters can be configured by hardware pins. In host-control mode, the charging parameters can be configured by the I2C registers.
Diverse and robust protections include a thermal regulation loop to decrease the charge current in case the junction temperature exceeds the thermal loop threshold and battery temperature protection that is compliant with JEITA standards. Other safety features include input over-voltage protection (OVP), battery OVP, thermal shutdown, battery temperature monitoring, a watchdog timer, and a configurable backup timer to prevent prolonged charging of a dead battery.
The MP2672A is available in a QFN-18 (2mmx3mm) package.
