The SMB137C is a programmable single-cell lithium- ion/lithium-polymer battery charger designed for a variety of

portable applications. Unlike conventional charging devices,

the SMB137C’s high-efficiency switch-mode operation

eliminates the low charge current and thermal problems of

conventional linear solutions. In addition, the switching

architecture in conjunction with programmability enables

dramatically faster charging – TurboChargeTM mode - from

current limited inputs such as USB.

The SMB137C can switch between USB mode and AC

Adapter mode and works seamlessly in conjunction with a

USB controller. The device can manage two outputs

independently: battery charging and system power. This

allows immediate system operation even under missing/deeply

discharged battery conditions. The SMB137C can also run its

switching regulator in reverse to support “Low Battery

Recovery” mode (+4.17V @ 500mA) or USB “On the Go” and

HDMI/MHL power (+5.0V @ 500mA).

Charge control includes input current limit (supporting

USB2.0), trickle charge, pre-charge, constant current/constant

voltage, float voltage and termination/safety settings that are

fully programmable via a serial I2

C/SMBus and stored in non- volatile memory making the device truly a flexible solution.

The SMB137C also offers a wide variety of features that

protect the battery pack as well as the charger and input

circuitry: over-current, under/over-voltage, safety timers,

charge current/float voltage compensation and thermal

protection. Status can be monitored via the serial port for

charge state and fault conditions. In addition, the STAT output

can be used to signal charge status while the SYSOK output

can be used as a System OK indicator. Operating voltage is

specified from +4.35V to +6.0V with +18V non-operating input

tolerance. The SMB137C is available in an ultra-compact

CSP-30 package and is rated over the -30C to +85C

temperature range.
