CHG_IN Bypass Options for USB or Wall Adaptor Supplies

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION CONT’D

in applications that can encounter hot plug

conditions as their very low ESR, in combination

with the inductance of the cable, can create a high-

Q filter that induces excessive ringing at the

CHG_IN pin. This ringing can couple to the output

and be mistaken as loop instability, or the ringing

may be large enough to damage the input itself.

Although the CHG_IN pin is designed for maximum

robustness and an absolute maximum voltage

rating of 14V for transients, attention must be given

to bypass techniques to ensure safe operation.

As a result, design of the CHG_IN bypass must

take care to “de-Q” the filter. This can be

accomplished by connecting a 1Ω resistor in series

with a ceramic capacitor (as shown in Figure 13), or

by using a tantalum or electrolytic capacitor to

utilize it’s higher ESR to dampen the ringing. For

additional protection in extreme situations, Zener

diodes with 12V clamp voltages may also be used.

In any case, it is always critical to evaluate voltage

transients at the ACT8828 CHG_IN pin with an

oscilloscope to ensure safe operation.
