Wireless Power Receiver & Buck Battery Charger

LTC4120

The LTC4120, a high performance wireless receiver and battery charger, serves as the central component of the receiver electronics in a
wireless battery charging system. The Linear Technology wireless power system is designed to transmit up to 2W to a battery with a maximum
charge current of 400mA. The programmable float voltage of the device accommodates several battery chemistries and configurations. The
IC utilizes a patented dynamic harmonization control (DHC) technique that enables high efficiency contactless charging with maximum TX to
RX coil distance and misalignment without any of the thermal or overvoltage issues typically associated with wireless power systems. Wireless
charging with the LTC4120 enables or improves many different applications. For instance, expensive connectors which become failure-prone
in harsh environments can be eliminated. Similarly, wireless charging allows for a completely sealed enclosure for applications that require
sterilization. Elimination of wires enables rechargeable batteries to be placed in moving or rotating equipment. Some applications are simply
too small to use a conventional connector. Wireless charging can also provide transformerless galvanic isolation for high reliability isolated
applications. The LTC4120 provides the ability to charge batteries in applications where it is difficult or impossible to use a connector. Unlike
consumer-oriented solutions following the Qi standard, the LTC4120-based solution addresses the needs of high reliability industrial, military
and medical applications.

Wireless Power Transfer (WPT)

An inductive wireless power system consists of transmitter electronics, transmit coil, receive coil and receiver electronics. The LTC4120-
based resonant coupled system uses dynamic harmonization control (DHC) to optimize power transfer and provide overvoltage protection.
This eliminates the need for precise mechanical alignment between the transmit and receive coils as well as the need for a coupling core. The
LTC4120 wireless buck charger forms the basis for the receiver electronics. The receive coil can be integrated into the receiver electronics
circuit board. Linear Technology offers several transmitter electronics options. The LTC4125 is the power controller for a simple but versatile
wireless power transmitter. The LTC4125 enhances a basic wireless power transmitter by providing three key features: an AutoResonant
function that maximizes available receiver power, an Optimum Power Search algorithm that maximizes overall wireless power system efficiency
and foreign object detection to ensure safe and reliable operation when working in the presence of conductive foreign objects.

Solar Battery Charging ICs

Batteries are often paired with solar panels to provide energy storage for the inherently Figure 1

As can be seen in Figure 1, the output current of a solar panel varies nonlinearly with the
70
panel voltage. Under short-circuit conditions, the output power is zero since the output 3 60

voltage is zero. Under open-circuit conditions, the output power is zero since the output 2 40

current is zero. Most solar panel manufacturers specify the panel voltage at maximum

power (Vmp). This voltage is typically around 70 80% of the panels open circuit voltage 10 Power

Panel Output Voltage
Imp just under 4.5A. Ideally, any system using a solar panel would operate that panel at
its maximum power output. This is particularly true of a solar powered battery charger,
where the goal is to capture and store as much solar energy as possible, as quickly as
possible. Put another way, since we cannot predict the availability or intensity of solar
power, we need to harness as much energy as possible while energy is available.

There are many different ways to operate a solar panel at its maximum power point. One
of the simplest is to connect a battery to the solar panel through a diode. This technique
is described in the Linear Technology article Energy Harvesting with Low Power Solar
Panels (www.linear.com/solutions/1786). It relies on matching the maximum output
voltage of the panel to the relatively narrow voltage range of the battery. When available
power levels are very low (approximately less than a few tens of milliwatts), this may be
the best approach. The article describes using the LTC4071 with a single-cell Li-Ion/
polymer battery. However, the same basic approach can be used with the LTC4079
(without the diode). The LTC4079 dramatically increases the flexibility of this approach
by allowing any battery voltage from 1.2V to 60V. Therefore, a specified solar panel can
be matched to a battery or a specified battery can be matched to a panel.

An alternate approach is to implement a complete maximum power point tracking


(MPPT) algorithm. There are a variety of MPPT algorithms, but most have the ability
to sweep the entire operating range of the solar panel to determine where maximum
power is produced. The LT8490 is an example of an integrated circuit that performs this
function. The advantage of a full MPPT algorithm is that it can differentiate a local power
peak from a global power maximum. In multicell solar panels, it is possible to have more
than one power peak during partial shading conditions (see Figure 2). The difference
in available power between operating at the true global maximum power point and a
false local maximum can be very large. Typically, a full MPPT algorithm is required to
find the true maximum power operating point. It does so by periodically sweeping the
entire output range of the solar panel and remembering the operating conditions where
maximum power was achieved. When the sweep is complete, the circuitry forces the
panel to return to its maximum power point. In between these periodic sweeps, the
MPPT algorithm will continuously dither the operating point to ensure that it operates at
the peak.

An intermediate approach is something that Linear Technology calls maximum power Figure 2
Partially Shaded Solar Panel Showing Multiple
point control (MPPC). This technique takes advantage of the fact that the maximum
Power Maxima
power voltage (VMP) of a solar panel does not, typically, vary much as the amount of
incident light changes (see "Solar Battery Charger Maintains High Efficiency in Low Partially Shaded 72-Cell 180W Panel

Light" for more information). Therefore, a simple circuit can force the panel to operate at 130
a fixed voltage and approximate maximum power operation. A voltage divider is used to 6 120

measure the panel voltage and if the input voltage falls below the programmed level, the 5 100

load on the panel is reduced until it can maintain the programmed voltage level. Products 4 80
with this functionality include the LTC3105, LTC3129, LT3652(HV), LTC40001, and the 70
3 60
LTC4020. Depending on solar panel construction, shading conditions and incident light 50

levels, a full MPPT algorithm can extract considerably more power from a solar panel 30

A recent Linear Technology product introduction provides yet another technique to
extract maximum power from a limited source. The new approach is a blend of a full
MPPT algorithm and an MPPC function. The LTC4121 employs an MPPT algorithm that
compares a stored open-circuit input voltage measurement against the instantaneous
input voltage while charging. The LTC4121 automatically reduces the charge current if
the input voltage falls below the user-defined percentage of the open-circuit voltage. This
algorithm lets the LTC4121 optimize power transfer for a variety of different input sources
including first order temperature compensation of a solar panel. While this technique will
not differentiate between local and global maxima, it will adjust its operating conditions as
temperature varies, and it can accommodate a variety of solar panels without hardware
changes assuming the ratio of VMP to VOC remains approximately constant.

In summary, there are many different ways of operating a solar panel at its maximum
output operating condition. The panel can be connected to a battery (through a diode)
whose voltage range is close to the maximum power voltage of the panel. A full
MPPT algorithm, including periodic global sweeps to find the global maximum and a
continuous dither to remain at that maximum can be used (an example is the LT8490).
Other products implement an input voltage regulation technique (MPPC) to operate
a solar panel at a fixed operating voltage, including the energy harvesting switching
regulator devices LTC3105, LTC3129, the charge controller LTC4000-1, plus the battery
chargers LT3652(HV), and the LTC4020. Finally, the LTC4121 blends two approaches.

CC/CV Switching Regulators as Battery Chargers

In some battery powered applications, a system microcontroller already exists that can assume some, if not all, of the functions required to
safely manage the charging of the battery. In other cases, an integrated battery charger IC that meets the design requirements may not exist.
While the LTC4000 can help in many of these scenarios, a switching regulator with the ability to accurately control both its output voltage and
its output current may be sufficient. This section describes a variety of Linear Technology products that meet this requirement. Typically, these
products can be used in several different power topologies with extremely wide voltage operating ranges.

Tutorial: PowerPath Control

Battery-Fed (Charger-Fed) Systems

First generation USB system applications incorporated a current-


limited battery charger directly between the USB port and the battery
AC ADAPTER
(see Figure 1). In this battery-fed topology, the battery directly powers
the system and the power available to the system from the USB can

be expressed as:

because VBAT is the only voltage available to the system load. For
linear chargers, input current approximately equals charge current, so a BAT

power within the linear battery charger element as heat. Furthermore,
an additional resistor and signal transistor are required to increase
charge current when a wall adapter is present.

Linear PowerPath Power Managers

Second generation USB charging systems, commonly referred to as PowerPath system, nearly all of the 2.5W available from the USB port
PowerPath systems, develop an intermediate voltage between the USB is accessible to the system load provided the system load does not

supplies current to an intermediate voltage, VOUT, via a current-limited power than is available from the input, an ideal diode also supplies

Third generation USB charging systems feature a switch mode-based current limit allows the use of nearly all of the 2.5W available from the

External High Voltage Switching Regulator Control

Several Linear Technology power manager ICs (both linear and switching) provide the ability to adaptively control the output of an external high
voltage switching regulator (see Figure 4). The WALL pin detects the presence of a high voltage supply (e.g., car battery, 12V wall adapter, FireWire
input) and enables Bat-Track adaptive output control via the buck regulators VC pin. Similar to a switching PowerPath system, the output of the
high voltage buck is regulated to a small differential voltage above the battery voltage with a minimum output voltage of approximately 3.5V. This
functionality maximizes charger efficiency while still allowing instant-on operation even when the battery is deeply discharged. Compared to the
traditional approach of converting a high voltage input to 5V to power the system,this technique can reduce system power dissipation by over 50%.
By choosing an LT3653 as the high voltage regulator, further system improvements can be made (see Figure 5). The LT3653 accurately controls its
maximum output current, which eliminates the potential for localized heating, reduces the required current rating of the power components and
provides a robust solution to withstand harsh overload and short-circuit conditions. In addition, the unique LT3653 architecture eliminates a
power PFET and output capacitor from the application schematic.

Supercapacitor/Capacitor Chargers and Backup Power ICs

Supercapacitors, capacitors with up to 100s of farads in value, are emerging as an alternative to batteries in applications where the importance
of power delivery trumps that of total energy storage. Supercapacitors have a number of advantages over batteries that make them a superior
solution when short-term high power is needed, such as in power ride-through applications. These advantages include lower effective series
resistance (ESR) and enhanced durability in the face of repeated charging.

Linear Technology offers a portfolio of linear, switching and switched-capacitor ICs designed to charge supercapacitors (also known as
ultracapacitors) and capacitors. These devices offer input or output current limiting, automatic cell balancing and a range of protection features
that make them uniquely suited to supercap charging.

Active Balancing ICs

Emerging electric vehicles (EV) and plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEV) are demanding longer usable run time from their battery stacks. These stacks
of batteries are typically made of battery modules, each with as many as 12 Li-Ion cells stacked in series, offering a 400V battery module. As
the battery run time defines the very feasibility of these vehicles, maximizing battery capacity is of primary importance. Batteries can always
be made larger to improve driving range but this increases the weight, size and cost of the vehicle. So the goal for automotive EV designers
is to find ways to make the existing battery run longer. One effective method is to employ active balancing. Because EV batteries are stacked
in series, the lowest capacity cell will limit the entire battery stacks run time. Ideally, the batteries would be perfectly matched, but this is often
not the case, and generally gets worse as the batteries age. Passive energy balancing offers no improved run time, as it dissipates the extra
energy of the higher capacity batteries as heat to match the lowest one. Conversely, high efficiency active balancing redistributes the charge
from the stronger cells (higher voltage) to the weaker cells. This enables the weaker cells to continue to supply the load during stack discharge,
extending the vehicles range. It may also be beneficial to have onboard diagnostics for each cell within these modules to monitor temperature,
voltage (state of charge) and internal impedance both for safety and long term reliability.

Practical Example
Big batteries are expensivethey all degrade over time and lose capacity

Low cost/refurbished cells have greater capacity mismatch


Increasing stack capacity with mismatched cells done in 2 ways:
Use bigger batteries (solution cost ~ $1$2 per A-hr per cell)
Use active balancing
LTC3300-1 solution cost ~ $2$3 per cell, depending on IBAL
LT8584 solution cost ~ $3.50$4.50 per cell, depending on IBAL
Example, adding 10A-hrs of capacity costs:
Bigger batteries: ~ $10$20 per cell
Active balancing: ~ $2$3 per cell
Active balancing maximizes run time and allows fastest charge rates

Dual Comparator
*CMH25234B
The LT6109 is an ideal choice for monitoring batteries. It includes
a precision high side current sense amplifier, a dual comparator Overcurrent and Undervoltage Battery Fault Protection
for monitoring current and/or voltage, and a voltage reference.
Asshown, it is simple to implement battery fault protection. In this
example, the comparators monitor for overcurrent and undervoltage
conditions. If either fault is detected, the battery will be immediately
disconnected from the load. The latching comparator outputs ensure
the battery stays disconnected until anoutside source resets the
LT6109 comparator output.

Pushbutton Controllers

Our pushbutton controllers solve the inherent bounce problem associated with all mechanical contacts, while also enabling power supply
converters and releasing a processor once the supply is fully powered up. Wide voltage operation, rugged ESD protection, small size, low
quiescent current and ease of design distinguish these pushbutton controllers from discrete implementations.
