Abstract
TI design TIDA-00657 is an SMBus 1- to 4-cell hybrid power boost mode battery charge
controller with power and processor hot monitoring. The input voltage range is between 4.5 V
and 24V, with a programmable output of 1–4 cells charge voltage and 128-mA to 8.128-A
charge current. The included application circuit illustrates how bq24780S can be implemented.

PMON Functions
• BATFET System Reset
PMON pin output current is proportional to the total power from the adapter and battery. The ratio is
selectable through SMBus. Place a resistor from PMON pin to GND to generate PMON voltage. The
resistor value is set so that the PMON voltage at peak system load doesn’t exceed 3V. The PMON
output voltage is clamped to 3.3 V. Place a 100-pF (or less) ceramic decoupling capacitor from PMON
pin to GND. This pin can be floating if this output is not in use.

I PMON = K PMON × (VIN × I IN − VBAT × I BAT ) (1)

IBAT>0 during battery charging, IBAT<0 during battery discharging

/PROCHOT Functions
The processor hot function in bq24780S monitors these events, and PROCHOT pulse is asserted.
The PROCHOT triggering events include:
• ICRIT: adapter peak current
• INOM: adapter average current (110% of input current limit)
• IDCHG: battery discharge current
• VSYS: system voltage on SRN for 2s - 4s battery
• ACOK: upon adapter removal (ACOK pin HIGH to LOW)
• BATPRES: upon battery removal (BATPRES pin LOW to HIGH)
• CMPOUT: Independent comparator output (CMPOUT pin HIGH to LOW)
The threshold of ICRIT, IDCHG or VSYS, and the deglitch time of ICRIT, INOM, IDCHG or CMPOUT are
programmable through SMBus. Each triggering event can be individually enabled in REG0x3D[6:0].
