Product details
Overview
MIC79110BML-TR from Micrel is a monolithic linear lithium-ion battery charger IC with integrated pass transistor, ±5% programmable current limit (up to 1.2A), ±0.75% output voltage accuracy over –5°C to +60°C, and dual end-of-charge indicators-digital open-drain DEOC and analog ACHG proportional to battery current-for real-time monitoring in portable power systems.
For engineers reviewing the MIC79110BML-TR datasheet, MIC79110BML-TR pinout, MIC79110BML-TR application, or MIC79110BML-TR equivalent, this device supports precise constant-current/constant-voltage charging of single-cell Li-ion batteries in space-constrained consumer electronics where thermal management, reverse-polarity protection, and low-dropout operation (550mV at 700mA) are critical.
Technical Context
The MIC79110BML-TR implements a linear regulation architecture with internal N-channel pass transistor, enabling direct control of charge current via RSET and end-of-charge threshold via REOC. Its fixed 4.2V output version (denoted by "-4.2" in ordering code) eliminates external feedback resistors while maintaining ±0.75% voltage accuracy across temperature.
It features two independent status outputs: DEOC provides logic-level end-of-charge signaling using an N-channel open-drain structure with 150–190Ω on-resistance, while ACHG delivers a 1/1000-scaled current source for analog current monitoring. Shutdown input (SD) offers active-low enable with 60mV hysteresis and <5µA leakage.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Charge Current Range | 0.1A to 1.2A, set externally via RSET resistor; enables flexible battery capacity matching without redesign. |
| Output Voltage Accuracy | ±0.75% over –5°C to +60°C for 4.2V fixed output; ensures cell longevity and compliance with standard Li-ion chemistry requirements. |
| Dropout Voltage | 550mV at 700mA load over full temperature range; allows operation from low-input sources like USB or 5V wall adapters. |
| End-of-Charge Threshold | Programmable down to 30mA via REOC resistor; supports 10% C-rate termination for safe full-charge completion. |
| Junction Temperature Range | –40°C to +125°C; qualified for industrial and automotive accessory environments with no derating up to 125°C. |
| Package Thermal Resistance | θJA = 60°C/W (3mm × 3mm DFN); enables >700mA continuous operation without forced airflow in typical PCB layouts. |
Pinout & Package
Available in a leadless 10-pin 3mm × 3mm DFN package (ML suffix), thermally enhanced with exposed pad for improved heat dissipation and compact footprint ideal for handheld devices.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 SD | Shutdown Input | Active-low logic control; <0.93V enables charging, >1.05V disables with 60mV hysteresis to prevent chatter during brownout. |
| 2 RSET | Current Limit Set | Resistor-to-ground sets charge current: IRSET = (0.2V / RSET) × 1000; 167Ω yields 1.2A max. |
| 3 SNS | Battery Sense | Direct connection to battery anode; enables accurate voltage regulation independent of PCB trace resistance. |
| 4 BAT | Battery Terminal | Main output node delivering regulated 4.2V; includes reverse-current protection limiting leakage to <20µA when VIN is absent. |
| 5,6 VIN | Input Supply | Dual pins reduce IR drop and improve thermal distribution; accepts 2.5V–16V input, including unregulated wall adapters. |
| 7 ACHG | Analog Charge Indicator | Current source outputting IBAT/1000; enables real-time current monitoring with simple RC filter and ADC. |
| 8 DEOC | Digital End-of-Charge | N-channel open-drain output; pulls low during charge, goes high-impedance at termination-requires external pull-up. |
| 9 REOC | End-of-Charge Threshold | Resistor-to-ground sets IEOC = (0.2V / REOC) × 1000; 4kΩ sets 50mA cutoff for 500mAh cells. |
| 10 GND | Ground Reference | Common return for all internal circuits and external components; must be low-impedance connection to thermal pad. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Pass Transistor | Eliminates external MOSFET and associated gate-drive complexity; reduces BOM count and layout area in compact chargers. |
| Two Independent Status Outputs | DEOC (digital flag) and ACHG (analog monitor) provide simultaneous system-level visibility into charge state and current magnitude. |
| Reverse Polarity & Reverse-Current Protection | Prevents >10µA reverse battery discharge when VIN is disconnected or reversed-no external diodes required. |
| Thermal Shutdown with Hysteresis | Internally limits junction temperature to +125°C and holds shutdown until cooldown to ~115°C, preventing thermal cycling. |
| Low Dropout Operation | 550mV dropout at 700mA ensures usable headroom from 5V inputs-even under worst-case temperature conditions. |

FAQ
What is the maximum charge current supported by the MIC79110BML-TR?
The MIC79110BML-TR supports a maximum charge current of 1.2A, achieved by connecting a 167Ω resistor from RSET pin to ground. This value is specified across the full operating temperature range (–40°C to +125°C) with ±5% accuracy. Higher currents up to 1.65A are possible under short-duration conditions but exceed recommended continuous operation limits.
Does the MIC79110BML-TR require external components to set its 4.2V output?
No, the MIC79110BML-TR is the fixed 4.2V output variant and does not require external feedback resistors. Its output voltage is trimmed at wafer test to ±0.75% over –5°C to +60°C, eliminating calibration components and simplifying layout. Only RSET, REOC, and optional SD divider resistors are needed for full functionality.
How does the MIC79110BML-TR handle reverse battery connection?
The MIC79110BML-TR includes built-in reverse polarity protection that limits reverse battery current to less than 10µA over temperature when VBAT > VIN and SD is low. This feature prevents damage to the IC and battery without requiring external diodes or MOSFETs-reducing BOM cost and board space.
Can the MIC79110BML-TR be used for automatic top-off charging?
Yes, the MIC79110BML-TR supports auto top-off via its SD pin: a resistor divider from BAT to GND applies a voltage to SD that drops below 0.93V when battery voltage falls below ~3.72V, re-enabling charging. When DEOC goes high-impedance at termination, the SD voltage rises above 1.05V and disables the part-enabling fully autonomous maintenance charging.
What thermal protection mechanisms are implemented in the MIC79110BML-TR?
The MIC79110BML-TR integrates thermal shutdown that activates at +125°C junction temperature and remains latched until temperature falls to approximately +115°C due to built-in hysteresis. This prevents destructive thermal cycling and ensures safe operation under sustained high-load or poor heatsinking conditions without external thermal sensors.
