Product details
Overview
LM3622M-4.1/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a precision lithium-ion battery charge controller IC for single-cell (4.1 V) applications, implementing constant-voltage/constant-current (CVCC) regulation via external PNP pass transistor control. It delivers ±30 mV/cell end-of-charge voltage accuracy, 4.5 V–24 V wide input range, and 200 nA battery leakage current when VCC is disconnected - enabling reliable cradle charging in portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the LM3622M-4.1/NOPB datasheet, LM3622M-4.1/NOPB pinout, LM3622M-4.1/NOPB application, or LM3622M-4.1/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4.1 V fixed regulation voltage, LVSEL/LVENB-configurable low-voltage wake-up detection, 15 mA EXT pin sink capability, and SOIC-8 package compatibility with linear charger topologies requiring minimal external components.
Technical Context
The LM3622M-4.1/NOPB integrates a temperature-compensated bandgap reference and precision feedback circuitry to regulate battery voltage between CEL and CS pins, with typical current-sense threshold of 100 mV across an external resistor. Its internal power-down switch disconnects the voltage divider from CS when VCC is removed, limiting battery drain to ≤200 nA.
It implements dual-mode CVCC control: constant-current mode regulates charge current by modulating EXT pin sink current (≥15 mA) to drive a PNP transistor base; constant-voltage mode maintains 4.100 V ±30 mV per cell at CEL–CS. Low-voltage detection (2.15 V/cell or 2.70 V/cell, selectable via LVSEL) enables wake-up charging when enabled via LVENB, with LV pin providing NPN open-collector output for external preconditioning circuitry.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
LM3622M-4.1/NOPB is housed in an 8-lead SOIC package (JEDEC MS-012AC, TI drawing D0008A), with exposed pad not present and standard thermal resistance θJA = 170°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1. LVSEL | Input | Selects low-voltage detection threshold: GND = 2.15 V/cell, VCC = 2.70 V/cell - configures wake-up sensitivity before charging. |
| 2. LVENB | Input | Enables low-voltage detection when pulled to GND; disables it when pulled to VCC - allows system-level control of wake-up function. |
| 3. LV | Output | NPN open-collector output - sinks up to 10 mA to activate external wake-up charge source when battery voltage falls below LVSEL-set threshold. |
| 4. GND | Ground | Common reference for CS, CEL, and internal circuitry - must be low-impedance return path for accurate current/voltage sensing. |
| 5. CS | Input | Senses voltage drop across external current-sense resistor (RCS) - regulates charge current to ICHG = 100 mV / RCS. |
| 6. CEL | Input | Senses battery positive terminal voltage - used with CS to compute cell voltage for CV regulation at 4.100 V. |
| 7. EXT | Output | Sinks current to drive base of external PNP transistor or gate of P-MOSFET - controls series pass element in linear charger topology. |
| 8. VCC | Power Supply | Primary supply input (4.5 V–24 V) - powers internal reference, comparators, and drive circuitry; also biases internal 20 µA pull-up on EXT. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar lithium-ion charge controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BQ2002F | Fixed 4.2 V regulation; no LVSEL/LVENB wake-up control; requires external sense resistor and PNP driver; 500 nA battery leakage. | Lacks programmable low-voltage detection and wake-up output - unsuitable where deep-discharge recovery is required. | Choose BQ2002F only if 4.2 V termination and absence of wake-up logic are acceptable, and higher battery leakage is tolerable. |
| TP4054 | Single-cell 4.2 V linear charger IC with integrated MOSFET; 120 mA max charge current; no external pass device support; 3 µA quiescent current. | Monolithic solution with no external transistor option - incompatible with high-current (>500 mA) or high-input-voltage (>7 V) cradle designs. | Choose TP4054 only for compact, low-power, fixed 4.2 V applications where external pass transistor flexibility and 4.1 V precision are unnecessary. |
Compared with BQ2002F and TP4054, LM3622M-4.1/NOPB uniquely supports 4.1 V precision regulation, user-selectable wake-up thresholds, and external PNP/P-MOSFET drive - making it the only option among the three for high-input-voltage cradle chargers requiring autonomous deep-discharge recovery and strict 4.1 V cell compliance.

FAQ
What is the exact regulation voltage of LM3622M-4.1/NOPB and how is it specified?
The LM3622M-4.1/NOPB provides a fixed 4.100 V ±30 mV per cell regulation voltage over −20°C to +70°C ambient temperature. This specification is guaranteed for the "A" grade variant and reflects initial accuracy without requiring external trimming components. The value is laser-trimmed at wafer test and documented in the Electrical Characteristics table of the SNVS043B datasheet under VCEL for LM3622A-4.1. This precision enables direct compatibility with 4.1 V lithium-ion cells used in legacy portable devices.
Does LM3622M-4.1/NOPB support wake-up charging for deeply discharged batteries?
Yes, LM3622M-4.1/NOPB supports wake-up charging through its LVSEL and LVENB pins. When LVENB is grounded and LVSEL is pulled to GND, the low-voltage threshold is set to 2.15 V/cell; if the battery voltage falls below this level, the LV pin is actively pulled low (NPN open-collector) to enable an external low-current source. This allows safe preconditioning before full-rate CVCC charging begins - a critical feature for recovering batteries stored below 2.5 V/cell without risk of damage.
What external components are required to implement a complete charger using LM3622M-4.1/NOPB?
A functional LM3622M-4.1/NOPB charger requires: (1) an external PNP transistor (e.g., MMBT3906) or P-MOSFET driven by the EXT pin; (2) a current-sense resistor (RCS) between battery negative and GND, sized to set ICHG = 100 mV / RCS; (3) two pull-up/down resistors for LVSEL and LVENB configuration; (4) a Schottky or silicon diode (e.g., BAT54) for battery isolation; and (5) optional RC network on CEL for noise filtering. No precision voltage-divider resistors are needed due to on-chip reference.
What is the maximum input voltage and quiescent current of LM3622M-4.1/NOPB?
The LM3622M-4.1/NOPB operates from 4.5 V to 24 V input supply (VCC), with absolute maximum rating of 24 V. Its quiescent current is 210 µA typical at VCC = 5 V and TA = 25°C, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This low operating current minimizes auxiliary power draw in always-connected cradle applications while maintaining full regulation accuracy across the input range.
Is LM3622M-4.1/NOPB RoHS-compliant and what package does it use?
Yes, LM3622M-4.1/NOPB is RoHS-compliant and marked "/NOPB" to indicate lead-free (Pb-Free) Green packaging per TI's eco-plan. It uses an 8-lead SOIC package (TI drawing D0008A, JEDEC MS-012AC), with dimensions 4.9 mm × 3.9 mm × 1.45 mm and moisture sensitivity level (MSL) Level-1 (unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH). The package is compatible with standard reflow profiles and automated SMT assembly.
