SMBus Level 2 Battery Charger with Remote Sense
General DescriptionThe MAX8731 is an SMBus™ programmable multichem-
istry battery charger. The MAX8731 uses a minimal
command set to easily program the charge voltage,
charge current, and adapter current limit.
The MAX8731 charges one to four Li+ series cells and
delivers up to 8A charge current. The MAX8731 drives
n-channel MOSFETs for improved efficiency and
reduced cost. Low-offset current-sense amplifiers pro-
vide high accuracy with 10mΩsense resistors.
The MAX8731 current-sense amplifiers provide high
accuracy (3% at 3.5A) and also provide fast cycle-by-
cycle current-mode control to protect against battery
short circuit and system load transients.
The charger employs dual remote-sense, which reduces
charge time by measuring the feedback voltage directly
at the battery, improving accuracy of initial transition into
constant-voltage mode. The MAX8731 provides 0.5%
battery voltage accuracy directly at the battery terminal.
The MAX8731 provides a digital output that indicates the
presence of the AC adapter, as well as an analog output
that indicates the adapter current within 4% accuracy.
The MAX8731 is available in a small 5mm x 5mm,
28-pin, thin (0.8mm) QFN package. An evaluation kit is
available to reduce design time. The MAX8731 is avail-
able in lead-free packages.

Figure 1. Typical Dual-Battery Application Circuit
Detailed DescriptionThe typical operating circuit is shown in Figure 1. The
MAX8731 includes all the functions necessary to
charge Li+, NiMH, and NiCd smart batteries. A high-
efficiency, synchronous-rectified, step-down DC-DC
converter is used to implement a precision constant-
current, constant-voltage charger. The DC-DC convert-
er drives a high-side n-channel MOSFET and provides
synchronous rectification with a low-side n-channel
MOSFET. The charge current and input current-sense
amplifiers have low input-offset error (±64µV typ),
allowing the use of small-valued sense resistors.
The MAX8731 features a voltage-regulation loop (CCV)
and two current-regulation loops (CCI and CCS). The
loops operate independently of each other. The CCV
voltage-regulation loop monitors either FBSA or FBSB
to ensure that its voltage never exceeds the voltage set
by the ChargeVoltage() command. The CCI battery cur-
rent-regulation loop monitors current delivered to the
selected battery to ensure that it never exceeds the

charge current-regulation loop is in control as long as
the selected battery voltage is below the charge volt-
age set point. When the selected battery voltage reach-
es its set point, the voltage-regulation loop takes control
and maintains the battery voltage at the set point. A
third loop (CCS) takes control and reduces the charge
current when the adapter current exceeds the input
current limit set by the InputCurrent() command.
A functional diagram is shown in Figure 2.

Table 1. ChargeVoltage () (0x15)
Setting Charge VoltageTo set the output voltage, use the SMBus to write a 16-
bit ChargeVoltage() command using the data format
listed in Table 1. The ChargeVoltage() command uses
the Write-Word protocol (see Figure 3). The command
code for ChargeVoltage() is 0x15 (0b00010101). The
MAX8731 provides a 1.024V to 19.200V charge voltage
range, with 16mV resolution. Set ChargeVoltage()
below 1.024V to terminate charging. Upon reset, the
ChargeVoltage() and ChargeCurrent() values are
cleared and the charger remains off until both the
ChargeVoltage() and the ChargeCurrent() command
are sent. Both DHI and DLO remain low until the charg-
er is restarted.
