Introduction
This user’s guide describes the bq24013 (bqTINY) evaluation module. The
EVM provides a convenient method for evaluating the performance of a
charge-management solution for portable applications using the bq24013
product family. A complete designed and tested charger is presented. The
charger is designed to deliver up to 1.0 A of continuous charge current, but is
programmed for 0.7 A, for single-cell Li-Ion or Li-Pol applications using a dc
power supply.

1.1 Background
The bqTINY series are highly integrated Li-Ion and Li-Pol linear
charge-management devices targeted at space-limited portable applications.
Ina small package,thebqTINY series offerintegrated PowerFET andcurrent
sensor, reverse blocking diode,high-accuracycurrentandvoltageregulation,
charge status, and charge termination.
The bqTINY charges the battery in three phases: conditioning, constant
current, and constant voltage. Charge terminates on the basis of minimum
current. An internal charge-timer provides backup safety for charge
termination. The bqTINY automatically restarts the charge if the battery
voltage falls below an internal threshold and automatically enters sleep mode
when VCC supply is removed.
In addition to the standard features, different versions of the bqTINY offer a
multitude of additional features. These features include temperature-sensing
inputfordetectinghotorcoldbatterypacks,powergood(PG)outputindicating
thepresenceoftheacadapter,aTTL-levelchargeenableinput(CE)todisable

1.2 Performance Specification Summary
This section summarizes the performance specifications of the EVM.
Table 1–1 gives the performance specifications of the EVM.
Table 1–1.Performance Specification Summary
Specification Test Conditions Min Typ Max Units
Input dc voltage, VI(DC) VREG+0.5 5.0 5.2†V
Battery charge current, IO(CHG) See note 0.7 1 A
Power dissipation (V(DC+) –V(BAT+)) ×I(CHG) 1.5 W
†This input voltage maximum is a function of the maximum allowable power dissipation on the IC. The current level is pro-
grammed for 0.7 A. If the programmed charge is changed, then the maximum input voltage must be adjusted.
PmaxIC = 1.5 Watt = ICHG(VDC+ –VBAT+).

Setup:Thebq24013EVMboardrequiresasingle-cellLi-Ionor Li-Pol battery
pack and a 5-VDC, 1-A power source to provide input power. The test setup
connections and jumper setting selections are configured for a stand-alone
evaluation but can be changed to interface with external hardware, such as a
microcontroller.

2.2 Test Procedure
Setuptheevaluationboardasdescribedabove,bymakingthenecessaryI/O
connections and jumper selections. Before test and evaluation, it is
important to verify that the maximum power dissipation on the IC is not
exceeded: P(MAX) = 1.5 watts.
1) Turn on the power supply, which was preset to 5.0 VDC and 1 A for the
current-limit setting.
2) The bq24013 enters preconditioning mode if the battery is below the
V(LOWV)threshold.Inthismode,thebq24013prechargesthebatterywith
a low current (typically IO(CHG)/10 = 0.7A/10 = 70 mA) until the battery
voltage reaches the V(LOWV) threshold or until the precharge timer
expires. If the timer expires, then the charge current is terminated, the
bq24013 enters fault mode, and both LEDs turn off. Toggling input power
or battery replacement resets fault mode.
3) Once the battery voltage is above the V(LOWV) threshold, the battery
enters fast-charge mode. This EVM is programmed for 0.7 A of
fast-charging current.
4) Once the battery reaches voltage regulation (4.2 V), the current tapers
down as the battery reaches its full capacity.
5) The battery remains at the fast-charge mode until the fast-charge timer
expires,thechargetapertimeexpires,orthechargeterminationthreshold
is reached.
6) If the battery discharges to the recharge threshold, the charger starts fast
charging.
In place of a battery, a source meter that can sink current can easily be
adjusted to test each mode.
