DATASHEET
ISL6251, ISL6251A
Low Cost Multi-Chemistry Battery Charger Controller
The ISL6251, ISL6251A is a highly integrated battery charger
controller for Li-Ion/Li-Ion polymer batteries and NiMH
batteries. High efficiency is achieved by a synchronous buck
topology and the use of a MOSFET, instead of a diode, for
selecting power from the adapter or battery. The low side
MOSFET emulates a diode at light loads to improve the light
load efficiency and prevent system bus boosting.
The constant output voltage can be selected for 2, 3 and 4
series Li-Ion cells with 0.5% accuracy over-temperature. It can
be also programmed between 4.2V+5%/cell and 4.2V-5%/cell
to optimize battery capacity. When supplying the load and
battery charger simultaneously, the input current limit for the
AC adapter is programmable to within 3% accuracy to avoid
overloading the AC adapter, and to allow the system to make
efficient use of available adapter power for charging. It also
has a wide range of programmable charging current. The
ISL6251, ISL6251A provides outputs that are used to monitor
the current drawn from the AC adapter, and monitor for the
presence of an AC adapter. The ISL6251, ISL6251A
automatically transitions from regulating current mode to
regulating voltage mode.

NOTES:
1. Add “-T*” suffix for tape and reel. Please refer to
TB347
for details on
reel specifications.
2. These Intersil Pb-free plastic packaged products employ special Pb-
free material sets, molding compounds/die attach materials, and
100% matte tin plate plus anneal (e3 termination finish, which is
RoHS compliant and compatible with both SnPb and Pb-free
soldering operations). Intersil Pb-free products are MSL classified at
Pb-free peak reflow temperatures that meet or exceed the Pb-free
requirements of IPC/JEDEC J STD-020.
3. For Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL), please see device information
page for
ISL6251, ISL6251A.
For more information on MSL please

CAUTION: Do not operate at or near the maximum ratings listed for extended periods of time. Exposure to such conditions may adversely impact product
reliability and result in failures not covered by warranty.
NOTES:
4. When the voltage across ACSET is below 0V, the current through ACSET should be limited to less than 1mA.
5.
JA
is measured in free air with the component mounted on a high effective thermal conductivity test board with “direct attach” features. See Tech
Brief
TB379.

is measured with the component mounted on a high effective thermal conductivity test board in free air. See Tech Brief
TB379
for details.
7. For
JC
, the “case temp” location is the center of the exposed metal pad on the package underside.
8. BOOT-PHASE voltage is -0.3V to -0.7V during start-up. This is due to a small current (<1mA) that flows from the battery to the PHASE pin and to an
internal current sink on the BOOT pin through an internal diode. This does not harm the part.
