4. working principle and charging process

The CXLB73314 adopts a three-stage charging strategy to ensure safe and efficient battery charging process:
4.1 trickle charge
When FB voltage <0.843V (battery voltage <70% full voltage), small current pre-charging with 10% of the set current is suitable for low-power batteries.
4.2 constant current charging
When the FB voltage is between 0.843V-1.124V, it enters the constant current charging phase, and the charging current is set by the external resistor of ISET pin:
4.3 maintain charge
When the FB voltage> 1.124V, switch to the maintenance charging mode, the current is 60% of the constant current phase, and start the internal timer. The timing time is determined by the external R and C of the RC pin:
After charging, if the battery voltage drops to 1.084V (about 90% full voltage), the charging cycle is automatically restarted to realize intelligent maintenance.
5. key design points
1. Battery voltage feedback network design
The battery voltage is fed back to FB pin through R3 and R4 voltage division, and the full voltage calculation formula is:
It is recommended that R3/R4 use metal film resistors with 1% accuracy to ensure accurate voltage detection.
2. Temperature monitoring circuit configuration
The TEMP pin is connected to the NTC thermistor and cooperates with R1 and R2 to form a voltage divider network. If you are only concerned with overheat protection, you can simplify the design by using only R1.
3. Maintain the charging time setting
The timing resistor R5 is recommended to be between 20kΩ-1MΩ, and the timing capacitor C1 should be> 1nF, preferably 1μF or 2.2μF 0805/1206 package ceramic capacitor.
4. Heat dissipation and PCB layout
· The EPAD at the bottom of the chip should be soldered to a large area of copper skin to enhance heat dissipation.
· ISET, FB, VIN, BAT and other key signal traces should be short and thick.
· The NTC sensor should be kept away from the chip to avoid being affected by its heat.
