discharging mode, IBUS limit current, IBAT limit current and so on. The User can also control power path and
read various protective states and intelligent detection states through I2C interface. In addition, chip’s
integrated ADC function also needs to be turned on through the I2C, and the data of the ADC conversion are
also stored in the registers.
The device address is 0x74 (7bits). The following is a brief introduction of setting voltage/current and read
voltage/current through I2C interface, and the specific register table can be referred to SC8913 datasheet.
1.1.1 SouthChip I2C GUI Tool Guidance
I2C GUI Tool is developed by SouthChip, convenient for customers to debug.
When VBUS is decided by external configuration, the Rup and Rdown values marked with red color on the
lower part of the interface should be filled according to the actual resistance on EVM. In this way, the voltage
value shown in blue marker 1 is the true VBUS voltage value.
In the same way, if user fills the current sense resistance values of IBUS (RS1) and IBAT (RS2) on the EVM in the
RS1 and RS2 marked with red color, then the I2C GUI will show the actual IBUS_LIM and IBAT_LIM set values, as
well as real-time value of IBUS and IBAT.

configuration. Reg 0x00<7:6>(IRCOMP) is used to set compensation voltage.
So the real target voltage can be calculated as follow:
VBAT_cmp = VBAT_set + min(IBAT∙IRCOMP, VCLAMP)
VCLAMP is the allowed maximum compensation value, fixed at 125mV.

1.1.3 VBUS Output Voltage Setting in Discharging Mode
Firstly, set Reg bit 0x09<7> (OTG_EN) =1 to operate in discharging mode.
a) VBUS is decided by internal setting
FB should be floating and set Reg 0x0A <4> (FB_SEL) =0.
VBUS output voltage is decided by VBUSREF_I_SET, VBUSREF_I_SET2, and VBUS_RATIO.
VBUSREF_I_SET: Reg 0x01<7:0>
VBUSREF_I_SET2: Reg 0x02<7:6>
VBUS_RATIO: Reg 0x08<0>
The internal reference voltage can be calculated as follow:
VBUSREF_I = (4 x VBUSREF_I_SET + VBUSREF_I_SET2 + 1) x 2 mV
The recommended VBUS voltage range is from 3.5V to 25.6V.
When VBUS is lower than 10.24V, it is suggested to set the VBUS_RATIO to 5x, and so the minimum
changing step is 10mV/step;
When VBUS is higher than 10.24V, VBUS_RATIO should be set to 12.5x, and the minimum changing step is
25mV/step.
VBUS voltage can be calculated as below:
VBUS = VBUSREF_I x VBUS_RATIO
b) VBUS is decided by external setting
Set Reg 0x0A <4> (FB_SEL) =1 and FB pin should be connected with resistor divider of VBUS.
The VBUS external reference voltage is decided by VBUSREF_E_SET and VBUSREF_E_SET2.
VBUSREF_E_SET: Reg 0x03<7:0>
VBUSREF_E_SET2: Reg 0x04<7:6>
The VBUS external reference voltage can be calculated as below. The adjustable reference voltage range is
0.7V~2.048V, the default value is 1V.
VBUSREF_E = (4 x VBUSREF_E_SET + VBUSREF_E_SET2 + 1) x 2 mV

SC8913 EVM USER GUIDE
SOUTHCHIP SEMICONDUCTOR SOUTHCHIP CONFIDENTIAL
Copyright © 2018, Southchip Semiconductor Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd 7
VBUS voltage can be calculated as below:
VBUS = VBUSREF_E x (1+ RUP
RDOWN )
External setting is chosen as the default configuration on the EVM board. R27(RUP) value is 100kΩ,
R28(RDOWN) value is 24kΩ, so the default output voltage of VBUS is 5.17V.
Note: If more accurate voltage value is needed, 0.1% accuracy resistor is suggested.
1.1.4 IBUS Current Limit Setting
IBUS current limit function is effective in both charging and discharging mode.
IBAT current limit is decided by IBUS_LIM_SET and IBUS_RATIO.
IBUS_LIM_SET: Reg 0x05<7:0>
IBUS_RATIO: Reg 0x08<3:2>
When Reg 0x08<3:2> (IBAT_RATIO) =01, IBUS_RATIO=6;
When Reg 0x08<3:2> (IBUS_RATIO) =10, IBUS_RATIO=12;
RS1 is the IBUS sense resistor value.
IBUS_LIM (A) = (IBUS_LIM_SET +1)
256 × IBUS_RATIO × 10 mΩ
RS1
RS1 value is 10mΩ, the default IBUS current limit is 3A.
1.1.5 IBAT Current Limit setting
IBAT current limit function is effective in both charging and discharging mode.
IBAT current limit is decided by: IBAT_LIM_SET and IBAT_RATIO.
IBAT_LIM_SET: Reg 0x06<7:0>
IBAT_RATIO: Reg 0x08<4>
When Reg 0x08<4> (IBAT_RATIO) =0, IBUS_RATIO=6;
When Reg 0x08<4> (IBAT_RATIO) =1, IBUS_RATIO=12.
RS2 is the IBAT sense resistor.
IBAT_LIM (A) = IBAT_LIM_SET+1
256 × IBAT_RATIO × 10 mΩ
RS2
RS2 value is 5mΩ, the default IBUS current limit is 24A.
1.1.6 VINREG Setting
During charging, if the IBUS charging current is higher than adapter’s current capability, the adapter will be
overloaded and the VBUS voltage is pulled low. Once the IC detects the VBUS voltage drops at VINREG
threshold, it reduces the charging current automatically and regulates the VBUS voltage at VINREG threshold.
VINREG value is decided by: VINREG_SET and VINREG_RATIO.
VINREG_SET: Reg 0x07<7:0>
VINREG_RATIO: Reg 0x09<4>

SC8913 EVM USER GUIDE
SOUTHCHIP SEMICONDUCTOR SOUTHCHIP CONFIDENTIAL
Copyright © 2018, Southchip Semiconductor Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd 8
When Reg 0x09<4>=0, VINREG_RATIO=100.
When Reg 0x09<4>=1, VINREG_RATIO=40 (Suit for VINREG<10V).
VINREG = (VINREG_SET+1) × VINREG_RATIO (mV)
1.1.7 ADC Setting
SC8913 provides 5-channel ADC sampling for VBUS/VBAT/IBUS/IBAT/ADIN. Set Reg 0x0C<5> (ADC_START) =1 to
enable ADC function.
a) VBUS value can be calculated by VBUS_FB_VALUE and VBUS_FB_VALUE2:
VBUS = (4 x VBUS_FB_VALUE + VBUS_FB_VALUE2 + 1) x VBUS_RATIO x 2 mV
VBUS_FB_VALUE: set by Reg 0x1D<7:0>
VBUS_FB_VALUE2: set by Reg 0x0E<7:6>
b) VBAT value can be calculated by VBAT_FB_VALUE and VBAT_FB_VALUE2:
VBAT = (4 x VBAT_FB_VALUE + VBAT_FB_VALUE2 + 1) x VBAT_MON_RATIO x 2 mV
VBAT_FB_VALUE: set by Reg0x0F<7:0>
VBAT_FB_VALUE2: set by Reg0x10<7:6>
When Reg 0x08<1> (VBAT_MON_RATIO) =0, VBAT_MON_RATIO=12.5(default);
When Reg 0x08<1> (VBAT_MON_RATIO) =1, VBAT_MON_RATIO=5. For 1~2 cell application, it’s suggested
to choose VBAT_MON_RATIO=5.
c) IBUS value can be calculated by IBUS_VALUE and IBUS_VALUE2:
IBUS (A) = (4 x IBUS_VALUE + IBUS_VALUE2 + 1)×2
1200 × IBUS_RATIO × 10 mΩ
RS1
IBUS_VALUE: set by Reg 0x11<7:0>
IBUS_VALUE2: set by Reg 0x12<7:6>
d) IBAT value can be calculated by IBAT_VALUE and IBAT_VALUE2:
IBAT (A) = (4 x IBAT_VALUE + IBAT_VALUE2 + 1)×2
1200 × IBAT_RATIO × 10 mΩ
RS2
IBAT_VALUE: set by Reg 0x13<7:0>
IBAT_VALUE2: set by Reg 0x14<7:6>
e) VADIN value can be calculated by ADIN_VALUE and ADIN_VALUE2:
VADIN = (4 x ADIN_VALUE + ADIN_VALUE2 + 1) x 2 mV
ADIN_VALUE: set by Reg 0x15<7:0>
ADIN_VALUE2: set by Reg 0x16<7:6>
Note: when the chip is set as standby mode (PSTOP = H), user shall set the Reg 0x0C<5> (ADC_START) to 0 to
disable ADC function, reducing the quiescent current.

1.2 Other Settings
1.2.1 Loop compensation setting
COMP pin is used for loop compensation setting. R25=10kΩ and C28=22nF is suggested for typical application.
Once loop instability occurs, R25 and C28 should be adjusted according to practical situation.
1.2.2 MOSFET driver resistor setting
R9/R10 is driver resistor which connects LD/HD with LG/HG respectively on the EVM board. The default value
of R9/R10 is 0 ohm. Increasing R9/R10 value will slow down switching speed and improve EMI performance,
but with the cost of decreased efficiency at the same time.
1.2.3 Power path management Q2/Q4 driver setting
Q2/Q4/Q1 is the power MOSFET used to control the power path. Q2’s driver signal is connected to GPO pin;
Q4’s driver signal is connected to PGATE pin; Q1’s driver signal is connected to MicroB_drv pin(P5);
Through I2C interface, Q4 and Q2 can be controlled by 0x0C<7> (EN_PGATE) and 0x0C<7> (GPO_CTRL)
respectively. When the corresponding setting bit is 1, Q4/Q2 will be on. Otherwise, Q4/Q2 will be off.
Specification description can be referred to SC8913 datasheet.
1.2.4 Adapter Attachment/Detachment Detection
MicroUSB adapter attachment/detachment detection is realized by ACIN pin. When chip detects adapter
plug-in, it will set AC_OK interrupt bit, and INT pin will assert interrupt signal. Specification description can be
referred to SC8913 datasheet
1.2.5 Dithering function test configuration
If switching frequency dithering function is tested, R17 should be removed and USB2 should disconnected. R15
value is set to 0 ohm, PGATE/DITH pin will be used for frequency dithering.
2. Test Precautions
1) When MicroUSB is used as input port, MicroB_drv pin should be connected with VHI (right pin) to open
MOS Q1.
2) If power path function is not tested, USB interface can be always connected to VBUS port,battery can be
connected to VBAT port. Chip operation mode can be changed by EN_OTG bit.
3) In the charging mode, USB charges the battery from VBUS to VBAT; in the reverse discharging mode,
battery discharges power from VBAT to VBUS.
4) PSTOP pin should be floating or connected to ground to enable the power operation.
5) SC8913 does not support starting up with CC mode electronic load. It’s suggested to start up with no load
or CR mode electronic load. Load can’t be so heavy that exceeds the current limit of SC8913, or it can not
start up normally.
6) After starting up, if the electronic load CC mode is used as the load, it should be noted that the CC load
current should not exceed the output current limit, and the corresponding input current should not
exceed the input current value. Otherwise, the CC load will pull the output voltage down directly. If CR
mode loading is used, even if the input / output current limit occurs, the output voltage still can be
stabilized at a balance point and will not be forced down.
