In this paper, we design a CMOS Li-Ion battery charger using the multimode low dropout (LDO) voltage regulator associated with a current sense to supply trickle current, constant current, and constant voltage for charging the battery in order. The protections from over charging and discharging are also considered by monitoring the charging current, reverse voltage, and battery temperature. The whole charger has been verified by HSPICE with TSMC 0.35 μm 2P4M CMOS process. The charger provides the trickle current of 150 mA, maximum charging current of 312 mA, and charging voltage of 4.2 V at the input voltage of 4.5 V. The power efficiency of 72.3% is acceptable under the power consumption of 1.28 W. The chip occupies an area of 1.78 mm × 1.77 mm including 2955 transistors.

This paper presents a high efficiency Li-ion battery LDO-based charger IC which adopted a three-mode control: trickle constant current, fast constant current, and constant voltage modes. The criteria of the proposed Li-ion battery charger, including high accuracy, high efficiency, and low size area, are of high importance. The simulation results provide the trickle current of 116 mA, maximum charging current of 448 mA, and charging voltage of 4.21 V at the power supply of 4.8–5 V, using 0.18 μm CMOS technology.
