General Description
The bq2056 series ICs are low-cost
precision linear charge-control de-
vices for Li-Ion batteries. With a
minimum number of external compo-
nents, the bq2056 is a complete low-
dropout linear charger. The dropout
voltage is typically less than 0.5V
when the bq2056 is used with an ex-
ternal PNP transistor or P-channel
FET. Features include proprietary
automatic charge-rate compensation
(AutoComp) and a trickle-charger in-
terface output for reviving deeply
discharged cells. The bq2056 sup-
ports a single-cell 4.1V pack and the
2056T supports a two-cell 8.2V pack.
The bq2056V may be externally pro-
grammed for supporting other volt-
ages. All versions feature a sleep
mode for low-power applications.

Pin Descriptions:
INH
Charge-inhibit input
When input to this pin is high, the bq2056
suspends the charge in progress and places
the device in sleep mode. When input is low,
the bq2056 resumes operation.
TRKL
Trickle-charge interface output
This output is driven low if the battery volt-
age is less than an internal threshold level
and INH is low. This open-drain output can
enable an external trickle charger to revive a
deeply discharged battery.
V
SS
COMP
Ground
Charge-rate compensation input
This input is used to set the charge-rate
compensation level. The voltage regulation
output may be programmed to vary as a
function of the charge current delivered to
the battery. This feature, called AutoComp,
provides compensation for internal cell im-
pedance and voltage drops in protection
circuitry and therefore may be used to
safely reduce charging time. Connecting
this pin to V
SS
disables the AutoComp fea-
ture.
V
CC
SNS
Current sense input
Battery current is sensed via the voltage
developed on this pin by an external sense-
resistor, connected in series with the nega-
tive terminal of the battery pack.
BAT
Battery voltage input
This is the battery voltage sense input. It is
tied directly to the positive side of the bat-
tery pack on bq2056 and bq2056T versions.
A simple resistive divider is required to
generate this input for bq2056V.
CC
Charge-control output
CC is an open-collector output that is used
to control the charging current to the bat-
tery.

Functional Description
The bq2056 supports a precision current- and voltage-
limited charging system for Li-Ion batteries. The no-load
voltage regulation references (V
REG
) for the bq2056 and
bq2056T are maintained at 4.1V and 8.2V, respectively.
The bq2056V provides variable regulation to accommo-
date a wide range of charge voltages and may be used to
meet tighter tolerance requirements through external
trimming. The functional block diagram for the bq2056
is on the first page of this data sheet, and Figure 1 illus-
trates a typical application.
is accomplished by comparing pin BAT voltage to the in-
ternal threshold V
MIN
. While pin BAT voltage is less
than V
MIN
and pin INH is low, the open-drain output
TRKL is driven low and the voltage/current regulator is
disabled (CC=high-Z). In the bq2056V, low-voltage de-
tection occurs when the voltage on pin BAT is less than
or equal to V
MIND
. As shown in Figure 1, TRKL enables
an external trickle-charge circuit to bring the battery
voltage up to V
MIN
or V
MIND.
Current Regulation
The bq2056 provides current regulation while the pack
voltage is below the voltage limit. Charge-current feed-
back, applied through pin SNS, maintains regulation
around a threshold of V
SNS
. The following formula calcu-
lates the value of the sense-resistor connected in series
with the negative terminal of the battery pack (Figure 3):
R
SNS
= 0.1/ I
MAX
where I
MAX
is the maximum charging current. I
MAX
should not exceed 1A.
An external PNP or power P-FET may be used as the se-
ries pass element with control provided through output
pin CC.
Charge Algorithm
The bq2056 completes the charge cycle in two phases. A
constant current phase replenishes approximately 70%
of battery capacity, while an accurate voltage regulation
phase completes the charge.
Figure 2 shows a typical charge algorithm for bq2056,
including charge qualification, current regulation, and
voltage regulation phases.
Charge Qualification
During charge qualification the bq2056 detects a low
battery and reports this status on pin TRKL. Detection

Voltage Regulation
Voltage regulation feedback is through pin BAT. This pin
is connected directly to the pack in the bq2056 and
bq2056T. This voltage is compared with the voltage
regulation reference, V
REG
. In the bq2056V, a resistive
divider may be used to generate this input (Figure 4). In
this case, the voltage presented on pin BAT is compared
with the internal reference voltage V
REF
. The resistor
values R
B1
and R
B2
(Figure 4) are calculated based on
the following equation:

For bq2056V, the compensation voltage is added to the

battery pack and BAT input, (Figure 4).

Sleep Mode
The charge function may be disabled through pin INH.
When INH is driven high, internal current consumption
is reduced, and pins CC and TRKL assumes a high-
impedance output state.

Automatic Charge-Rate Compensation
(AutoComp) Feature
To reduce charging time, the bq2056 series uses the pro-
prietary AutoComp technique to compensate safely for
internal impedance of battery and any voltage drops in
the protection circuitry. This maximizes battery’s capac-
ity while reducing charging time. Compensation is
through input pin COMP (Figure 5). A portion of the
current-sense voltage, presented through this pin, is
scaled by a factor of K
COMP
and summed with the regu-
lation reference, V
REG
. This process increases the output
