RT9468
5A Single Cell Li-Ion Switching Battery Charger with Direct
Charge, Power Path Management and USB OTG Boost Mode
General Description
The RT9468 is a switch-mode single cell Li-Ion/Li-Polymer
battery charger for portable applications. It integrates a
synchronous PWM controller, power MOSFETs, input
current sensing and regulation, high-accuracy voltage
regulation, and charge termination. The charge current is
regulated through integrated sensing resistors. The
RT9468 also features USB On-The-Go (OTG) support.
The
RT9468 integrates an easy-to-use direct charge function,
simply driving an external MOSFET to enable a direct
charge path, as well as over-voltage protection, over-current
protection, and watchdog functions.
The RT9468 optimizes for charging task by using a control
algorithm to vary the charge rate for different modes,
including pre-charge mode, fast charge mode (constant
voltage and constant current). The key charge parameters
are programmable through an I
2
C interface. The RT9468
will resume the charge cycle whenever the battery voltage
falls below an internal recharge threshold, and can
automatically enter sleep mode if the input power supply
is removed.
Other features include under-voltage protection, over-
voltage protection, thermal regulation and reverse leakage
protection.
The RT9468 is available in a WQFN-32L 4x4 package.

Pin Description
Regulated output voltage to supply for the PWM low-side gate driver and the
bootstrap capacitor. Connect a 4.7F ceramic capacitor from REGN to GND.
1.If VBUS is plugged in, REGN will be powered by VBUS and regulated to 4.9V.
2.If VBUS is unplugged, the charger will operate in sleep mode and the REGN
voltage will be 0V.
* For #2. : Since the REGN voltage is also used to power the TS resistor, when the
charger is in sleep mode, the REGN will be woken up (be reactivated) if VBAT is
greater than forward voltage (V
F
) of the internal high-side (HS) MOS diode by
V

RT9468
Operation
The RT9468 is an integrated single cell Li-ion battery
switching charger with power path controller.
Base Circuits
Base circuits provide the internal power, VREGN and
reference voltage and bias current.
Protection Circuits
The protection circuits include the VINOVP, VINUVLO,
BATOVP and OTP circuits. The protection circuits turn
off the charging when the input power or die temperature
is in abnormal level.
Buck Regulator for Charging and Boost Regulator
as OTG
The multi-loop controller controls the operation of charging
process and current supply to the system. It also controls
the circuits as a Boost converter for OTG applications.
Battery Detection
The RT9468 is capable of doing the battery absence
detection. The detection protects the charger when battery
is removed accidentally.
Adapter Detection
If the poor input power source is connected to the RT9468,
the operation will be shut down by the adapter detection.
Power Path Management and Control
Once the battery voltage increases to a defined system
minimum regulation voltage, the internal path between
SYS and BAT will be fully turned on. That is, a better
charging efficiency can be achieved. When end of charge
occurs, the charging will stop and the internal path will be
turned off.
USB Charger Detection
The RT9468 can detect and distinguish Standard
Downstream Port, Charging Downstream Port and
Dedicated Charging Port via DP and DM pins.
TS Detection
The RT9468 detects the temperature of the battery pack
via REGN and TS pins. The REGN pin provides a constant
voltage source to drive the voltage divider composed of a
pulled-high resister and a NTC resister. The RT9468 reports
the sensing results via IRQ and status bits for COLD,
COOL, WARM and HOT.
I
2
C Controller
The key parameters of charging and OTG are programmable
through I
2
C commands.
