Functional Description
The simplified LM3622 block diagram in Figure 1 gives a
general idea of the circuit operation. The controller integrates
the reference, feedback and drive functions on-chip to con-
trol a linear, lithium-ion battery charger in constant voltage
and constant current (CVCC) charge operation. The regu-
lated output voltage is sensed between CEL and CS, and the
battery charge current is sensed across a current-sense
resistor between CS and GND. The EXT pin is designed for
driving a series pass element, which can be a PNP transistor
or a P-MOSFET.
Tying the LV
voltage detection circuit. When the low-voltage detection
circuit is enabled and a battery voltage below a preset
threshold is detected, the LM3622 will drive the LV pin low
and shut off the current flowing into the EXT pin to suspend
the CVCC charge process. The low-voltage threshold is user
selectable to be either 2.15V/cell or 2.7V/cell by pulling the
LV
open collector output that can be used to turn on a low
current source to wake up charge a deeply depleted battery.

Application Information
CEL PIN CURRENT DRAIN
The LM3622 has an internal power down switch in series
with the on-chip resistor divider that is used for sensing the
battery voltage. In the event that the V

the power down switch will disconnect the resistor divider
from the CS pin, preventing the battery from discharging
through the CEL pin.
EXT PIN
The EXT pin is internally pulled up to V
source making it possible to eliminate the external base-
emitter resistor when driving a PNP transistor, or the gate-
source resistor when driving a P-MOSFET. However, the
voltage applied to EXT is not allowed to be higher than (V
+ 0.3V), otherwise the reverse current from EXT pin to V
pin may cause damage to the device.
LV PIN CURRENT RATING
The LV pin is a low power, NPN open collector output that is
rated to sink 10mA maximum. Therefore, the value of the pull
up resistor should be chosen high enough to limit the current
to be less than 10mA.
CS PIN
In normal operation, the current limit threshold voltage for
the CS pin is 100mV typical. In case of a fault condition, the
voltage to this pin should be limited to below 5V.
