RT9535
High Efficiency Switching Mode Battery Charger
General Description
The RT9535 is a PWM switch mode battery charger
controller to fast charge single or multiple Li-Ion, NiMH
and NiCd batteries, using constant current or constant
voltage control. Maximum current can be easily
programmed by external resistor. The constant voltage
output can support up to 22V with 0.5% accuracy.
A third control loop limits the input current drawing from
the adapter during charging. This allows simultaneous
operation of the equipment and fast battery charging
without over loading to the adapter.
The RT9535 can charge batteries from 2.5V to 22V
with dropout voltage as low as 0.4V. A logic output
indicates Li-Ion full charge when current drops to 17%
of the full-scale programmed charge current.

RT9535
Operation
The RT9535 is a current mode PWM step-down
switching charger controller. The battery DC charge
current is programmed by a resistor R4 at the ISET pin
and the ratio of sense resistor RS2 over RS1 in the
typical application circuit. Amplifier CA converts the
charge current through RS1 to a much lower sampled
current I
CHG
(I
CHG
= I
BATT
x RS1 / RS2) fed into the
ISET pin. Amplifier EA compares the output of CA with
2.5V reference voltage and drives the PWM loop to
force them to be equal. Note that ICHG has both AC
and DC components. High DC accuracy is achieved
with averaging filter R3 and C3 at ISET pin. I
CHG
is
mirrored to go through R4 and generates a ramp signal
that is fed to the PWM control comparator, forming the
current mode inner loop. An internal LDO generates a
5V to power topside FET gate driver. For batteries like
lithium that require both constant current and constant
voltage charging, the 0.5% 2.5V reference and the
voltage amplifier VA reduce the charge current when
battery voltage reaches the normal charge voltage level.
For NiMH and NiCd, VA can be used for over voltage
protection.
CL Amplifier
The amplifier CL monitors and limits the input current,
normally from the AC adapter, to a preset level (100mV
/ RS4). At input current limit, CL will supply the
programming current at ISET pin, thus reducing battery
charging current.
Charge STATUS
When the charger is in voltage mode and the charge
current level is reduced to 17%, STATUS pin will turn to
logic high. This charge completion signal can be used
to start a timer for charge termination. A 0.1F
capacitor from STATUS to ground is needed to filter the
sampled charging current ripple.
ACDRV Driver
The ACDRV pin drives an external P-MOSFET to avoid
reverse current from battery to input supply. When
input supply is removed, the RT9535 goes into a low
current, 10A maximum, sleep mode as VIN drops
below the battery voltage.
