II. Core features and technical advantages
2.1. High integration and small size design
CXLB73331 integrates power MOSFETs, current detection and voltage regulation functions, requires only a few peripheral components, and is packaged with SOT-23-5L, which greatly saves PCB area and is suitable for highly integrated portable products.
2.2. Intelligent charging management
Full charging cycle supported: precharge & rarr; Constant current charging & rarr; Constant voltage charging & rarr; Charging cut-off. When the battery voltage is lower than 2.9V, it enters the trickle charging mode to avoid battery damage; When the charging current drops to 1/10 of the set value, it automatically stops charging to prevent overcharging.
2.3. Temperature adaptation and thermal regulation
The chip has built-in thermal feedback mechanism, which automatically reduces the charging current when charging at high ambient temperature or large current, effectively controls the temperature rise and improves the reliability of the system.
2.4. Multiple protection mechanisms
·Battery reverse connection protection: patented structure ensures that the chip enters the protection state when the battery is connected in reverse to prevent IC damage and battery short circuit;
·Input undervoltage lockout: pause charging when the input voltage is lower than 3.8V, protect power system;
·ESD protection: The ESD capability of the human body model is up to 7KV, which improves the antistatic capability of the system.
2.5. Charging status indication
Drive the LED through the CHRG pin or connect to the MCU to display the charging status (charging/full/abnormal) in real time to improve the user experience.
3. Detailed explanation of pin functions

1. CHRG (pin 1)
Open drain output charging status indicator pin. When charging, it outputs a low level and can drive LED; When charging is completed or in the shutdown state, it is in a high resistance state. With the external capacitor, the battery presence detection function can also be realized.
2. GND (pin 2)
System grounding terminal.
3. BAT (pin 3)
The battery connection terminal provides charging current and controls float-charge voltage to stabilize at 4.2V(± 1%). Internal integrated anti-reverse connection protection circuit.
4. VIN (pin 4)
Power input pin, support 4.25V ~ 6.5V DC input, it is recommended to parallel ≥ 1μF capacitor to regulated power supply.
5. PROG (pin 5)
Charging current programming and enable control pin. Set the charging current through ground resistance RPROG:
The typical value of VPROG is 1.0V. This pin can also be used to turn off the charger. When the voltage is higher than 1.21V, it enters the shutdown mode and the input current drops to 25μa.
IV. Workflow and charging curve
The charging process of CXLB73331 is divided into three stages:
·Trickle charging: When the battery voltage is less than 2.9V, charge the battery with a small current of about 1/5 of the set current to restore the deeply discharged battery.
· Constant current charging: When the battery voltage rises to more than 2.9V, it is charged quickly with the set current. At this time, the PROG pin voltage is about 1.0V.
· Constant voltage charging: When the battery voltage is close to 4.2V, it enters the constant voltage mode, and the current gradually drops until the charging is cut off when it drops to 1/10 of the set value.

·The ground plane should be complete to reduce noise interference.
7.2. Heat dissipation design
·At the bottom of the chip, heat dissipation via holes can be added to connect to the bottom layer copper foil;
·Avoid arranging other heating components directly below the chip;
·In high-current charging applications, the PCB plus-sized area can be appropriately copper foil to assist in heat dissipation.
7.3. Signal routing
·PROG pin resistance should be close to the chip, and the wiring is short and thick;
·CHRG indicates that if the output needs long-distance routing, we recommend that the series resistance prevent interference.
8. FAQ and debugging guide
8.1. Inaccurate charging current
Check the RPROG resistance accuracy (1% recommended) and measure whether the PROG pin voltage is about 1.0V.
8.2. Abnormal charging indicator light
Confirm whether the external circuit of the CHRG pin is normal and whether the LED polarity is correct, and try to reduce the RLED resistance value.
8.3. Chip fever is obvious
·Check whether the input voltage is within the recommended range;
·Confirm whether the battery is close to the full state (the current decreases in the constant voltage phase and the power consumption decreases);
·Optimize PCB heat dissipation design.
8.4. Battery reverse connection protection test
When the battery is connected in reverse, the chip should enter the protection state. The BAT pin current is about 0.7mA, which will not damage the chip or battery.
