AT1457 General Description
The AT1457 series Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) and Lithium-Polymer (Li-Pol) linear charge ICs are designed for costsensitive and compact portable electronics. They combine high-accuracy current and voltage regulation, battery conditioning, temperature monitoring, charge termination, and charge-status indication in a single 8-pin IC. MSOP package op-tions are offered to fit a wide range of end applications.
The AT1457 continuously measures battery temperature using an external thermistor. For safety, the AT1457 inhi-bits charge until the battery temperature is within user-defined thresholds.
The AT1457 then charges the battery in three phases: conditioning, constant current, and constant voltage. If the battery voltage is below the low-voltage threshold, V(min), the AT1457 precharges using a low current to condition the battery. The conditioning charge rate is approximately 10% of the regulation current. After conditioning, the AT1457 applies a constant current to the battery. An external sense-resistor sets the current. The sense-resistor can be on either the high or low side of the battery without additional components. The constant-current phase continues until the battery reaches the chargeregulation voltage. The AT1457 then begins the constant-voltage phase. The accuracy of the voltage regulation is better than ±1% over the operating- temperature and supply-voltage ranges. For single cells, the AT1457 is offered in two fixed-voltage versions: 4.1 V, and 4.2 V. Charge stops when the current tapers to the charge termination threshold, I(TERM).The AT1457 automatically restarts the charge if the battery voltage falls below the V(RCH) threshold.
