IV. Key Design Guidelines
4.1. Charging current setting
Select RPROG resistance based on the target charging current:
·RPROG=1.2kΩ → IBAT= 1000mA
·RPROG=2.4kΩ → IBAT= 500mA
We recommend that you select a resistor with accuracy ≥ 1% to ensure current accuracy.
4.2. Thermal Management design
DFN package depends on PCB heat dissipation. We recommend that you:
·At the bottom of the chip, a copper cover welding plate ≥ 1.5 × 2.0mm is arranged.
·Set more than 2 heat dissipation holes & phi;0.8mm, and fill tin on the back to enhance heat conduction
·Avoid arranging other heat sources around the charging IC
4.3. Temperature detection configuration
4.3.1 Use 10 kOhm NTC thermistor (B = 3380K-3950K)
4.3.2 protection threshold:
·VNTC < 0.15V & rarr; If the temperature is too high, the charging is suspended.
·VNTC > 1.2V & rarr; If the temperature is too low, suspend charging.
4.3.3 if temperature detection is not enabled, the NTC pin can be suspended or connected to the ground with a resistance> 1 Mohm.
4.4. Status indicator circuit
·NCHRG and NSTDBY are open-drain outputs, and external pull-up resistor is required.
·Can drive LED or connect MCU for status detection and logic control
V. Brief introduction of working principle
CXLB73272 strictly follow lithium battery charging specifications:
·Discharge charging: when VBAT <2.5V, restore the deep discharge battery with a small current (about C/10)
·Constant current charging: After VBAT> 2.5V, charge quickly with set current
·Constant voltage charging: when VBAT approaches 4.2V, the voltage is constant and the current gradually decreases.
·Charging termination: automatically stops when the current drops to 1/10 of the set value and enters standby mode
·Automatic recharge: restart charging when the battery voltage drops below 4.10V
VI. Suggestions on heat dissipation and power management
To maintain high charging current and control temperature rise:
·The adapter with small high voltage difference (such as 5V) is preferred.
·Part of the power consumption can be shared by series small resistance resistor (such as 0.25 Ω) to improve the thermal adjustment current.
·Make full use of the internal copper layer and via hole heat dissipation of multilayer board in actual layout

Pin description
NTC (pin 1):Battery temperature detection input terminal. Connect the pin to the output of the NTC sensor of the battery. If the voltage of the NTC pin is small
At 150mV or more than 1.2V, it means that the battery temperature is too high or too low, and the charging is suspended. If the NTC is suspended or connected to a resistor above 1 Mohm
To the ground, the battery temperature detection function is canceled, and other charging functions are normal.
PROG (pin 2):Constant current charging current setting and charging current monitoring terminal. Connecting an external resistor from PROG pin to the ground can charge
