cannot be driven to a voltage higher than DC. The
circuit of Figure 3 shows a simple MOSFET and resistor
on DCM to prevent any current from flowing from DCM
through the internal diode to DC. This circuit of Figure 3
allows a microprocessor to drive the gate of the MOS-
FET to any state at any time.
An alternative to the simple MOSFET and resistor on
DCM as shown in Figure 3 is to place a 1MΩ resistor in
series with the DCM input to the microprocessor. The
microprocessor can then monitor the DOK output and
make sure that whenever DOK is high DCM is also low.
In the event that DCM is driven to a higher voltage than
DC, the 1MΩ series resistance limits the current from
DCM through the internal diode to DC to a few μA.
If a valid USB input is present with no valid DC input,
current for SYS and battery charging is supplied by a
low-dropout linear regulator connected from USB to
SYS. The SYS regulation voltage shows the same char-
acteristic as when powering from the DC input (see
Figure 4). The battery charger operates from SYS with
any extra available current, while not exceeding the
maximum-allowed USB current. If both USB and DC
inputs are valid, power is only taken from the DC input.
The maximum USB input current is set by the logic
state of the IUSB input to either 100mA or 500mA.
DOK is an open-drain, active-low output that indicates
the DC input power status. With no source at the USB
pin, the source at DC is considered valid and DOK is
driven low when: 4.15V < V
voltage is also valid, the DC source is considered valid
and DOK is driven low when: 4.45V < V
higher minimum DC voltage with USB present helps
guarantee cleaner transitions between input supplies. If
the DC power-OK output feature is not required, con-
nect DOK to ground.

UOK is an open-drain, active-low output that indicates
the USB input power status. UOK is low when a valid
source is connected at USB. The source at USB is valid
when 4.1V < V
feature is not required, connect UOK to ground.
Both the UOK and the DOK circuitry remain active in
thermal overload, USB suspend, and when the charger
is disabled. DOK and UOK can also be wire-ORed
together to generate a single power-OK (POK) output.
When the die temperature exceeds +100°C, a thermal
limiting circuit reduces the input current limit by 5%/°C,
bringing the charge current to 0mA at +120°C. Since
the system load gets priority over battery charging, the
battery charge current is reduced to 0mA before the
input limiter drops the load voltage at SYS. To avoid
false charge termination, the charge termination detect
function is disabled in this mode. If the junction temper-
ature rises beyond +120°C, no current is drawn from
DC or USB, and V
When charging from the DC input, if the battery is
above the minimum system voltage, SYS is connected
to the battery. Current is provided to both SYS and the
battery, up to the maximum program value. The step-
down output current sense and the charger current
sense provide feedback to ensure the current loop
demanding the lower input current is satisfied. The
advantage of this approach when powering from DC is
that power dissipation is dominated by the step-down
regulator efficiency, since there is only a small voltage
drop from SYS to BAT. Also, load transients can be
absorbed by the battery while minimizing the voltage
disturbance on SYS. If both the DC and USB inputs are
valid, the DC input takes priority and delivers the input
current, while the USB input is off.
After the battery is done charging, the charger is turned
off and the SYS load current is supplied from the DC
input. The SYS voltage is regulated to V
charger turns on again after the battery drops to the
restart threshold. If the load current exceeds the input
limiter, SYS drops down to the battery voltage and the
50mΩ SYS-to-BAT PMOS switch turns on to supply the
extra load current. The SYS-to-BAT switch turns off again
once the load is below the input current limit. The 50mΩ
PMOS also turns on if valid DC input power is removed.
When charging from the USB input, the DC input step-
down regulator turns off and a linear regulator from
