Product details
Overview
ADP3808JCPZ-RL from Analog Devices is a high-efficiency switch-mode Li-ion battery charging controller for 3-cell or 4-cell series packs, featuring ±0.4% end-of-charge voltage accuracy at 25°C, programmable 4.0 V to 4.5 V per cell final voltage, and bootstrapped synchronous N-channel MOSFET drive supporting up to 3 A charge current in portable computing power systems.
For engineers reviewing the ADP3808JCPZ-RL datasheet, ADP3808JCPZ-RL pinout, ADP3808JCPZ-RL application, or ADP3808JCPZ-RL equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, real-world design meaning of key specs, validated pin functions, confirmed alternative parts with functional distinctions, and supply-chain support details specific to OEM and industrial embedded development.
Technical Context
The ADP3808JCPZ-RL implements constant-current/constant-voltage (CCCV) charging using dual error amplifiers - one for battery voltage regulation (gm2), another for charge current control (gm1) - with shared COMP node arbitration. Its oscillator sets PWM frequency via external RT resistor (1 MHz max), and internal 5.25 V bootstrap regulator powers both DRVH and DRVL drivers.
It integrates system-level protection including overvoltage detection (120–135% of set VBAT, 1 μs response), overcurrent sensing (90–110 mV across CSP/CSM), and ac adapter presence detection via SYSP/SYSM differential amplifier outputting to EXTPWR open-drain pin. Shutdown mode reduces ICC to ≤10 μA while retaining ISYS functionality.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
ADP3808JCPZ-RL is housed in a 24-lead LFCSP (4 mm × 4 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) with exposed paddle connected to AGND. Thermal resistance is 83°C/W on 4-layer board.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 ISYS | System current sense amplifier output | Analog voltage proportional to adapter current (gain = 50 V/V); remains active in shutdown for AC presence detection |
| 2 LIMSET | System current limit threshold input | Reference voltage setting LIMIT comparator trip point; used for overcurrent protection coordination |
| 3 LIMIT | Open-drain system current limit flag | Pulls low when ISYS exceeds LIMSET; requires external pull-up ≤6 V for fault signaling |
| 4 EXTPWR | AC adapter presence indicator | Open-drain active-low output asserted when SYSP ≥18.25 V or ISYS ≥1 V; enables system-level power source awareness |
| 5 RT | Oscillator frequency programming | Connects to AGND via resistor (e.g., 150 kΩ → ~300 kHz); sets PWM timing without external clock source |
| 6 REFIN | Analog reference input | 2.0–3.5 V input serving as scaling reference for BATADJ and CSADJ; defines full-scale voltage ranges |
| 7 BATADJ | Battery voltage programming | Analog input referenced to REFIN; sets final VBAT per cell between 4.0 V and 4.5 V via Equation 2/3 |
| 8 EN | Charger enable control | CMOS input; <0.8 V disables DRVH/DRVL and enters low-power state (ICC ≤10 μA) |
| 9 COMP | Error amplifier output & loop compensation node | Shared node for gm1 (current) and gm2 (voltage) amplifiers; external RC network sets stability and transient response |
| 10 AGND | Analog ground reference | Common return for all analog functions (BAT, CSP/CSM, REFIN, BATADJ); must be isolated from PGND |
| 11 BAT | Battery voltage sense input | High-impedance input monitoring total pack voltage; used by gm2 for CV-mode regulation |
| 12 CELLSEL | Cell count selection | Logic input: >2 V selects 3-cell (12.0–13.5 V), <0.8 V selects 4-cell (16.0–18.0 V); internal 2 μA pull-up defaults to 3-cell |
| 13 CSADJ | Charge current programming | Analog input referenced to REFIN; determines (VCSP − VCSM) = 96 mV × CSADJ/REFIN for current scaling |
| 14 CSM | Negative battery current sense | Connects to battery side of sense resistor; forms differential pair with CSP for accurate current measurement |
| 15 CSP | Positive battery current sense | Connects to inductor side of sense resistor; wide 0–VCC common-mode range supports low-dropout operation |
| 16 PGND | Power ground | Return path for high-current MOSFET sources and SW node; must be tightly coupled to lower MOSFET source |
| 17 DRVL | Low-side MOSFET gate driver | Drives NMOS source to DRVREG (5.25 V) or PGND; <4 Ω on-resistance enables efficient synchronous rectification |
| 18 DRVREG | Internal driver supply output | 5.0–5.5 V regulated output powering DRVL; requires 0.1 μF ceramic capacitor to PGND for noise suppression |
| 19 BST | Bootstrap supply for high-side driver | Floats above SW node; charges via internal diode during DRVL-on phase to sustain DRVH operation |
| 20 DRVH | High-side MOSFET gate driver | Switches between BST and SW; drives NMOS gate with <4 Ω on-resistance and 20–40 ns transition time |
| 21 SW | Switch node connection | Connects to drain of upper MOSFET and source of lower MOSFET; critical for layout to minimize ringing and EMI |
| 22 VCC | Main supply input | 10–22 V input powering logic, references, and regulators; does not power SYS amplifier section |
| 23 SYSM | Negative system current sense | Connects to battery side of system sense resistor; part of uncommitted differential amplifier (AMP2) |
| 24 SYSP | Positive system current sense | Connects to adapter side of system sense resistor; supplies bias current to AMP2 and powers its output stage |

FAQ
What is the maximum supported battery voltage for ADP3808JCPZ-RL?
The ADP3808JCPZ-RL supports up to 18.0 V total battery voltage when configured for 4-cell operation with BATADJ = REFIN. This corresponds to 4.5 V per cell, the upper limit of its programmable range. The device's absolute maximum BAT pin rating is VCC + 0.3 V, and VCC is rated up to 22 V, but operational voltage is constrained by the 4.0–4.5 V/cell setting and CELLSEL logic state.
How does ADP3808JCPZ-RL handle overvoltage protection during charging?
The ADP3808JCPZ-RL includes dedicated overvoltage detection that triggers when battery voltage exceeds 120–135% of the programmed final voltage. Upon detection, the COMP node is pulled low within 1 μs to halt charging, preventing damage to Li-ion cells. This function operates independently of the main control loop and remains active even if the battery is disconnected mid-charge.
Can ADP3808JCPZ-RL operate without an external microcontroller?
Yes, ADP3808JCPZ-RL is fully autonomous: all critical functions - 3S/4S selection (CELLSEL), final voltage (BATADJ/REFIN), charge current (CSADJ/REFIN), and oscillator frequency (RT) - are configured via analog or discrete logic inputs. No firmware, I²C, or SMBus interface is required, making it ideal for MCU-less or resource-constrained systems.
What is the purpose of the EXTPWR pin on ADP3808JCPZ-RL?
The EXTPWR pin on ADP3808JCPZ-RL is an open-drain active-low output that asserts when either SYSP ≥18.25 V or ISYS ≥1 V, indicating AC adapter presence. It enables host systems to detect power source changes without polling, supporting seamless transitions between battery and adapter power modes in laptops and docks.
Does ADP3808JCPZ-RL support trickle charging for deeply discharged batteries?
Yes, ADP3808JCPZ-RL supports programmable trickle charging via CSADJ: setting CSADJ to a fraction of REFIN (e.g., REFIN/32) reduces (VCSP − VCSM) to as low as 3 mV, enabling safe pre-charge currents down to ~150 mA with a 20 mΩ sense resistor. This protects cells below 3.0 V/cell before entering constant-current mode.
