Operation description
The L6924U is a fully integrated battery charger that allows a very compact battery
management system for space limited applications. It integrates in a small package all the
power elements: power MOSFET, reverse blocking diode and the sense resistor.
It normally works as a linear charger when powered from an external voltage regulated
adapter or USB port.
However, thanks to its very low minimum input voltage (down to 2.5 V) the L6924U can also
work as a quasi-pulse charger when powered from a current limited adapter. To work in this
condition, it is enough to set the device’s charging current higher than the adapter’s one
(Chapter 6.2: Quasi-pulse mode on page
approach is that the device has a direct control of the charging current and so the designer
needn’t to rely on power source. However, the advantage of the quasi-pulse approach is that
the power dissipated inside the portable equipment is dramatically reduced.
The L6924U charges the battery in three phases:

If a PTC or NTC resistor is used, the device can monitor the battery temperature in order to
protect the battery from operating under unsafe thermal conditions.
Beside the good thermal behavior guaranteed by low thermal resistance of the package,
additional safety is provided by the built-in temperature control loop. The IC monitors
continuously its junction temperature. When the temperature reaches approximately 120 °C,
the thermal control loop starts working, and reduces the charging current, in order to keep
the IC junction temperature at 120 °C.
Two open collector outputs are available for diagnostic purpose (status pins ST1 and ST2).
They can be also used to drive external LEDs or to interface with a microcontroller. The
voltage across the resistor connected between I
actual charging current (working as a gas gauge), and it can be easily fed into a
microcontroller ADC.
Battery disconnection control is provided thanks to the differentiated sensing and forcing
output pins. A small current is sunk and forced through V
battery, the IC goes into a standby mode.
