Product details
Overview
L6924D013TR from STMicroelectronics is a monolithic Li-Ion/Li-Polymer battery charger IC with integrated power MOSFET, reverse-blocking diode, and sense resistor. It delivers programmable 4.1 V or 4.2 V ±1% regulated output, supports up to 1 A fast-charge current, and operates across 2.5–12 V input range in linear or quasi-pulse mode for handheld devices and USB-powered chargers.
For engineers reviewing the L6924D013TR datasheet, L6924D013TR pinout, L6924D013TR application, or L6924D013TR equivalent, key selection considerations include thermal-controlled charge termination, NTC/PTC temperature interface, dual open-collector status outputs (ST1/ST2), and gas gauge capability via IEND current-sensing.
Technical Context
The L6924D013TR implements a three-phase CC/CV charging algorithm-pre-charge, fast-charge, and voltage regulation-with independent programmability of pre-charge voltage (2.7–3.19 V), end-of-charge current (12–20 mA), and maximum charge time (up to 3 hours). Its closed-loop thermal control actively reduces charge current when junction temperature approaches 120 °C.
It supports two distinct operating modes: linear mode (for voltage-regulated adapters) and quasi-pulse mode (for current-limited adapters), where the internal MOSFET operates fully on to minimize dissipation. The device uses differentiated sensing (VOSNS) and forcing (VOUT) pins for reliable battery presence detection and maintains ±1% output voltage accuracy over temperature and load.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 4.1 V or 4.2 V selectable via VOPRG pin; ±1% accuracy ensures safe Li-ion cell voltage compliance. |
| Fast-Charge Current | Programmable up to 1.045 A (RIPRG = 12 kΩ); 7% tolerance enables precise current setting with single external resistor. |
| Pre-Charge Threshold | 2.7–3.19 V (via VPRE pin); prevents high-current charging of deeply discharged cells below safe voltage. |
| End-of-Charge Current | 12–20 mA (REND = 3.3 kΩ); defines CV-phase termination threshold for full capacity without overcharge. |
| Thermal Protection | Junction temperature limit at ~120 °C; dynamically throttles charge current to prevent thermal runaway. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5–12 V; supports USB (5 V), wall adapters, and low-voltage sources including partially discharged inputs. |
| Package Thermal Resistance | RthJA = 75 °C/W (demo board); enables compact PCB layout while maintaining safe power dissipation up to 0.67 W. |
Pinout & Package
VFQFPN16 package (3 × 3 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad for enhanced heat dissipation in space-constrained portable designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Power stage input | Accepts 2.5–12 V supply; start-up threshold at 4.1 V ensures stable enable after power ramp. |
| VINSNS | Signal circuit supply | Provides bias for internal analog blocks; decoupling required for noise immunity during charging. |
| ST1 / ST2 | Status outputs | Open-collector pins drive LEDs or µC GPIOs; indicate charge phase, fault, or completion states. |
| TPRG | Charge timer programming | Capacitor-to-GND sets max charge time (e.g., 10 nF = 3 hours); enables fail-safe timeout. |
| GND | Reference ground | Common return for power, signal, and thermal sensing; must be low-impedance for accurate current sensing. |
| SD | Shutdown control | Active-low enable: grounded = operational; floating = disabled (µA standby current). |
| TH | Temperature monitor | Interfaces NTC/PTC thermistor divider; disables charging if battery temperature exceeds programmed window. |
| VOPRG | Output voltage select | Floating = 4.1 V; tied to GND = 4.2 V; selects optimal float voltage for anode chemistry. |
| VOSNS | Battery voltage sense | High-impedance feedback node for CV regulation; enables accurate voltage loop without loading battery. |
| VOUT | Charging output | Direct connection to battery anode; integrates power MOSFET and reverse-blocking diode internally. |
| VREF | Internal reference | 1.8 V ±2% output; supplies precision bias for VPRE, TH, and IEND circuits. |
| IEND | Gas gauge / termination | Sense resistor output provides real-time charging current (IBAT ∝ VIEND) and sets IENDTH. |
| VPRE | Pre-charge voltage control | Resistor-programmable threshold (2.7–3.19 V); also resets timer on falling edge <0.5 V. |
| IPRG | Fast-charge current set | Resistor-to-GND sets ICHG; 24 kΩ yields ~490 mA, 12 kΩ yields ~975 mA (7% tolerance). |
| IPRE | Pre-charge current set | Floating = 10% of ICHG; resistor to GND or VREF adjusts ratio for custom pre-charge profiles. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fully integrated power stage | Eliminates external MOSFET, diode, and sense resistor - reduces BOM count and PCB area by >4 components. |
| Dual-mode operation | Linear mode for regulated inputs; quasi-pulse mode for current-limited sources - cuts dissipation by >50% in pulse mode. |
| Programmable thermal protection | NTC/PTC interface with hot/cold thresholds (10.6–14.4% and 45–55% of VREF) enables chemistry-specific temperature windows. |
| Gas gauge functionality | IEND pin delivers analog voltage proportional to battery current - enables µC ADC-based state-of-charge estimation. |
| Robust battery presence detection | Differentiated VOUT/VOSNS sensing detects open-circuit or disconnected batteries and forces standby mode automatically. |
| Flexible termination logic | Supports multiple end conditions: current threshold (I<IENDTH), timer expiry, or VPRE-driven reset - improves safety margin. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Li-ion single-cell charger applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BQ24075RGTR | Higher 1.5 A max charge current; fixed 4.2 V output; no quasi-pulse mode; requires external MOSFET for reverse blocking. | Better suited for higher-power USB host-charged devices; lacks thermal-adaptive current throttling. | Select when >1 A charge current is mandatory and thermal headroom is ample; avoid if NTC-based temperature profiling is required. |
| MAX1555 | Fixed 4.2 V output; no programmable pre-charge voltage or end-of-charge current; no gas gauge output; smaller 10-pin µDFN. | Targeted at ultra-low-cost, minimal-feature USB chargers with basic LED status only. | Choose for cost-sensitive, non-temperature-critical applications where design simplicity outweighs flexibility. |
Compared with BQ24075RGTR and MAX1555, the L6924D013TR uniquely combines integrated power FET + diode + sense resistor, dual-mode operation, and analog gas gauge output - enabling smaller, safer, and more feature-rich single-cell charging in thermally constrained layouts.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for L6924D013TR to initiate charging?
The L6924D013TR has a 4.1 V startup threshold on VIN, but its operational input range extends down to 2.5 V. Charging begins once VIN exceeds 4.1 V and remains above that level; below 4.1 V, the device remains in shutdown regardless of SD pin state. This ensures reliable turn-on after power supply ramp-up while supporting low-voltage quasi-pulse operation once enabled.
How does the quasi-pulse mode reduce power dissipation compared to linear mode?
In quasi-pulse mode, the L6924D013TR forces its internal MOSFET into full conduction by setting ICHG higher than the upstream adapter's current limit. This collapses the adapter's output voltage to just above battery voltage plus RDS(on) drop, minimizing (VIN − VBAT) × ICHG. Power dissipation drops to ILIM² × RDS(on), typically <20% of linear-mode dissipation at same current.
Can the L6924D013TR safely charge a battery without an NTC thermistor?
Yes - the NTC/PTC interface on TH is optional. If left unconnected, thermal protection defaults to the internal junction sensor only, which activates at ~120 °C. However, battery-level temperature monitoring is disabled, so external thermal safeguards (e.g., pack-level cutoffs) remain necessary for full safety compliance per IEC 62133.
What is the function of the VPRE pin when not used for pre-charge voltage programming?
When VPRE is not configured with a resistor, it serves two functions: (1) if voltage falls below 0.8 V, charge termination shifts from current-threshold to timer-expiry only; (2) if voltage drops below 0.5 V on a falling edge, the TPRG timer resets. This enables hardware-triggered recharging or recovery sequences without host intervention.
