Product details
Overview
ADP3801AR-REEL from Analog Devices is a high-frequency switch-mode dual Li-ion battery charger IC with integrated 3.3 V LDO, ±0.75% final voltage accuracy (4.2/8.4/12.6 V), 200 kHz PWM oscillator, high-side current sensing, and A/B battery stack selection. It drives external PMOS transistors in buck-based CCCV charging for portable instrumentation and cellular phone chargers.
For engineers reviewing the ADP3801AR-REEL datasheet, ADP3801AR-REEL pinout, ADP3801AR-REEL application, or ADP3801AR-REEL equivalent, key selection criteria include end-of-charge (EOC) logic signaling, ±10% programmable battery voltage adjustment via ADJ pin, 16-pin SOIC package compatibility, and dual-battery multiplexing capability for universal charger designs.
Technical Context
The ADP3801AR-REEL implements a dual-loop control architecture: a high-side current sense amplifier (GM1) with 10× gain and 1 mV offset feeds into a programmable constant-current loop, while a precision voltage loop amplifier (GM3) compares divided battery voltage against an internal reference to regulate final charge voltage. Both loops share the COMP node for unified compensation.
Its A/B select MUX enables break-before-make switching between two independent battery stacks (BATA/BATB), each with dedicated voltage sense inputs and 265 kΩ input impedance. The PROG pin selects 4.2 V (1-cell), 8.4 V (2-cell), or 12.6 V (3-cell) final voltage using internal thin-film resistor dividers, and the ADJ pin provides linear ±10% fine-tuning of that setpoint via buffered reference scaling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Final Battery Voltage Accuracy | ±0.75% over –10°C to +70°C ensures safe, specification-compliant Li-ion charging without external calibration. |
| PWM Oscillator Frequency | 200 kHz (ADP3801 variant) enables compact magnetics and EMI filtering for portable charger designs. |
| LDO Output | 3.3 V ±1.0% at 10 mA supports external microcontrollers or logic without secondary regulators. |
| Charge Current Programming | Voltage-controlled ISET input (0–1.65 V) sets charge current with ±1.0% accuracy at full scale. |
| End-of-Charge Detection | Active-low EOC output asserts when charge current drops ≤6% of full scale, gated by ≥95% battery voltage threshold. |
| Input Voltage Range (VCC) | 4.1 V to 20 V with UVLO at 3.9 V rising edge allows wide-input universal AC/DC adapter compatibility. |
| Battery Voltage Adjustment Range | ±10% via ADJ pin (0.6–2.3 V) enables chemistry-specific tuning (e.g., 4.1 V for conservative Li-ion cells). |
Pinout & Package
ADP3801AR-REEL is housed in a 16-lead SOIC (R-16A) package with exposed pad for thermal management. Pin functions are validated per Analog Devices' official pin configuration diagram (Rev. 0, p.4).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| DRV (Pin 1) | External PMOS gate drive output | High-current push-pull driver with 35 ns rise time; clamped low-voltage output protects PMOS gate oxide. |
| RESET (Pin 2) | Power-on reset signal output | Active-low open-drain output asserting at VL = 2.7 V rising threshold; resets external MCU on power-up. |
| VCC (Pin 3) | Main supply input | Accepts 4.1–20 V; powers internal circuitry and LDO; triggers UVLO shutdown below 3.9 V. |
| VL (Pin 4) | LDO regulated output | 3.3 V ±1.0% source for external logic; remains active during SD/UVLO with 110 µA quiescent current. |
| SD (Pin 5) | Shutdown control input | Logic-high (>2.0 V) disables charging loops; LDO stays enabled for system biasing. |
| CS– / CS+ (Pins 6–7) | High-side current sense differential inputs | 0–(VCC–2 V) common-mode range enables current regulation even during short-circuit conditions. |
| ISET (Pin 8) | Charge current programming input | High-impedance voltage input (0–1.65 V) setting charge current via ICHARGE = VISET × 10 / RCS. |
| COMP (Pin 9) | Loop compensation node | Shared high-impedance node for both current and voltage loop compensation; 1.0–2.0 V range maps to 0–100% PWM duty cycle. |
| EOC (Pin 10) | End-of-charge status output | Active-low comparator output signaling full charge only after battery reaches ≥95% of final voltage. |
| ADJ (Pin 11) | Battery voltage fine-adjust input | Linear ±10% adjustment of final voltage setpoint; disabled above 2.5 V to prevent overvoltage. |
| PROG (Pin 12) | Final battery voltage selection input | Three-level analog input (0.0/1.1/2.2 V) selecting 4.2/8.4/12.6 V final voltage via internal resistor divider mux. |
| BATB (Pin 13) | Battery "B" voltage sense input | 265 kΩ input impedance; used with A/B select to monitor second battery stack independently. |
| BATA (Pin 14) | Battery "A" voltage sense input | 265 kΩ input impedance; primary battery sense path when A/B = logic low. |
| A/B (Pin 15) | Battery stack select input | Logic-low selects BATA; logic-high selects BATB; break-before-make switching prevents cross-conduction. |
| GND (Pin 16) | Analog/digital ground reference | Single-point Kelvin connection required at battery negative terminal to avoid voltage-sense errors. |
Key Features

FAQ
What is the guaranteed final battery voltage accuracy of the ADP3801AR-REEL over temperature?
The ADP3801AR-REEL guarantees ±0.75% final battery voltage accuracy across the –10°C to +70°C operating temperature range for all three programmable settings (4.2 V, 8.4 V, and 12.6 V). This specification is ensured by on-chip precision thin-film resistors and a high-stability internal reference, eliminating the need for external calibration components in production designs.
How does the ADP3801AR-REEL support dual-battery charging?
The ADP3801AR-REEL supports dual-battery charging through its dedicated A/B select MUX (Pin 15) and separate BATA (Pin 14) and BATB (Pin 13) voltage sense inputs. When A/B = logic low, BATA is selected; when A/B = logic high, BATB is selected. The MUX operates break-before-make to prevent momentary shorting between battery stacks during switching.
Can the ADP3801AR-REEL be used to charge NiMH or NiCd batteries?
Yes-the ADP3801AR-REEL can charge NiMH and NiCd batteries when paired with an external microcontroller for charge termination. Its programmable constant-current loop and voltage-limited output allow µC-controlled delta-V or timer-based termination, though the built-in EOC comparator is optimized for Li-ion current-taper detection.
What is the function of the ADJ pin on the ADP3801AR-REEL?
The ADJ pin (Pin 11) on the ADP3801AR-REEL enables fine adjustment of the final battery voltage by ±10% around the PROG-selected setpoint (e.g., 4.2 V ±0.42 V). Applying 0.6–2.3 V to ADJ linearly scales the internal reference; voltages above 2.5 V disable adjustment. This allows chemistry-specific tuning without sacrificing accuracy.
Does the ADP3801AR-REEL integrate a voltage regulator, and what is its output capability?
Yes-the ADP3801AR-REEL integrates a 3.3 V low-dropout (LDO) regulator (Pin 4, VL) with ±1.0% accuracy over –10°C to +70°C and capable of delivering up to 10 mA. The LDO remains active during shutdown (SD) and UVLO events, supporting always-on system biasing for microcontrollers or monitoring circuitry.
