7.3.5.1 Autonomous Charging Cycle

When battery charging is enabled (EN_CHG bit = 1 and CE pin is LOW), the device autonomously completes a charging cycle without host involvement. The device default charging parameters are listed in Table 7-1. The host can always control the charging operation and optimize the charging parameters by writing to the corresponding registers through I2C.

Table 7-1 Charging Parameter Default Settings
VREG VRECHG ITRICKLE IPRECHG ICHG ITERM TOPOFF TIMER
BQ25638 4.2V VREG - 100mV 80mA 200mA 2,000mA 200mA Disabled

A new charge cycle starts when the following conditions are valid:

  • Converter starts per the conditions in Section 7.3.3.4
  • EN_CHG = 1
  • CE pin is low
  • No thermistor fault on TS
  • No safety timer fault

The charger automatically terminates the charging cycle when the charging current is below termination threshold, battery voltage is above recharge threshold, and device not is in DPM or thermal regulation. When a fully charged battery is discharged below VRECHG, the device automatically starts a new charging cycle. After charging terminates, toggling CE pin or EN_CHG bit also initiates a new charging cycle.

The STAT output indicates the charging status. Refer to Section 7.3.8.2 for details of STAT pin operation. In addition, the status register (CHG_STAT) indicates the different charging phases as :

  • 000 – Not Charging
  • 001 – Trickle Charge (VBAT < VBAT_SHORTZ)
  • 010 – Pre-charge (VBAT_SHORTZ < VBAT < VBAT_LOWV)
  • 011 – Fast Charge (CC mode)
  • 100 – Taper Charge (CV mode)
  • 101 – Reserved
  • 110 – Top-off Timer Active Charging
  • 111 – Charge Termination Done

When the CHG_STAT transitions to any of these states, including when the charge cycle completes, an INT pulse is asserted to notify the host.
