3. charging process and intelligent management
The charging process of the CXLB73330 is divided into three stages:
3.1. Pre-charge phase: When the battery voltage is lower than the set threshold, pre-charge with a small current to activate the battery;
3.2. Constant current charging stage: After the battery voltage rises to the set value, it is quickly charged with a constant high current;
3.3. Constant voltage charging phase: When the battery is close to full charge, it turns to constant voltage mode, and the current gradually decreases until the charging is cut off.
The chip also has a recharging function, which automatically restarts charging when the battery voltage drops due to self-discharge, keeping the battery always in the best condition.

In the absence of the battery, the voltage of the BAT pin will continue to flip between 0 and VOVP until a new battery is inserted.
4. key parameters and design points
4.1. Current setting
The constant current charging current is determined by the following formula:

Among them, KISET= 2000V/A,VISET= 1V (constant current phase). The pre-charge and cut-off current are set in proportion, such as 40% and 10% constant current values for lithium batteries.
4.2. Voltage Trim
Through the VTRIM pin external resistor, the constant voltage output value can be fine-tuned. For example, for dual lithium batteries:
where R = 40kΩ.
Measure the voltage value VCV of the constant voltage output, trim the VCV upward, and trim the resistor R
TRIM is connected between VTRIM pin and ground. Micro VCV down
Connect the trimming resistor RTRIM between the VTRIM pin and the BAT pin. Resistance RTRI

4.3. Temperature detection and protection
An external NTC thermistor enables temperature monitoring. When the temperature exceeds the set range, the charging is suspended until the temperature returns to normal.

Below 200mV at high temperature or above 1.23V at low temperature, the CXLB73330 will suspend charging and the internal clock will stop timing. When the NTC detects
Press back to normal range, continue charging and resume timing. The NTC thermistor should be placed in close proximity to the battery packaging.
Cancel the battery temperature detection function, only need to ground the NTC pin.
4.4. Sleep mode
Remove input power to enter sleep mode. When the VCC voltage is lower than the UVLO threshold, or VCC is lower than VBAT 250mV, the CXLB73330 enters the sleep mode
The battery discharge current is minimized.
4.5. Charge cut-off current
In the constant voltage phase, the voltage drop of the charging current across the RSNS resistor is reduced to VITERM, and the EOC signal is generated inside the CXLB73330, and the charging is cut off.
At the same time, when the voltage drop of the charging current across the RSNS resistor is twice that of VITERM, a TAPE signal will be generated inside the chip. If
After half an hour the charging current still hasn't dropped to VITERM, charging is off.
4.6. Charging voltage setting
The battery voltage detects the voltage difference between the BAT and GND pins.
For lithium batteries, enter the short-circuit current detection mode when the voltage of each battery is lower than 2V; enter the pre-charge mode when the voltage of each battery is lower than 3V.

4.8. Timeout error recovery.
As illustrated by the workflow diagram, the CXLB73330 provides a recovery mechanism for charge timeout errors, including pre-charge timeouts and total charge time timeouts. Summary
As follows:
Case 1: The VBAT voltage is greater than the recharge threshold voltage and a timeout error occurs.
Recovery mechanism: The battery detection voltage drops to the recharge threshold voltage due to the battery discharging to the load, self-discharging or battery removal
Next, at this time, the CXLB73330 clears the error state and enters the no battery detection process. In addition, a power-on reset can clear this timeout error
Error status.
Case 2: The VBAT voltage is lower than the recharge threshold voltage and a timeout error occurs.
Recovery mechanism: When this happens, the CXLB73330 enables a IDETECT current. This small current can be used to detect the presence or absence of the battery. Only
This current is maintained until the battery voltage is lower than the recharge voltage. If the battery voltage is higher than the recharge voltage, the CXLB73330 is canceled

4.9. Output overvoltage protection
CXLB73330 built-in overvoltage protection. When the battery voltage is too high, such as the overvoltage generated when the battery is suddenly removed, this function can protect
protect the device itself and other components. When an overvoltage is detected, the function immediately turns off the PWM and indicates an error. When the battery voltage is lower than the charge
