Pin Functions

PIN - NAMEPIN - NUMBER - '230HPIN - NUMBER - '232HI/ODESCRIPTION
BAT2,32, 3I/OCharger Power Stage Output and Battery Voltage Sense Input. Connect BAT to the positive terminal of the battery. Bypass BAT to VSS with a 4.7- μ F to 47- μ F ceramic capacitor.
CE44ICharge Enable Active-Low Input. Connect CE to a high logic level to place the battery charger in standby mode. In standby mode, OUT is active and battery supplement mode is still available. Connect CE to a low logic level to enable the battery charger. CE is internally pulled down with approximately 285 k Ω . Do not leave CE unconnected to ensure proper operation.
CHG99OOpen-Drain Charging Status Indication Output. CHG pulls to VSS when the battery is charging. CHG is high impedance when charging is complete and when charger is disabled.
EN166IInput Current Limit Configuration Inputs. Use EN1 and EN2 control the maximum input current and enable USB compliance. See Table 1 for the description of the operation states. EN1 and EN2 are internally pulled down with approximately 285 k Ω . Do not leave EN1 or EN2 unconnected to ensure proper operation.
EN255IInput Current Limit Configuration Inputs. Use EN1 and EN2 control the maximum input current and enable USB compliance. See Table 1 for the description of the operation states. EN1 and EN2 are internally pulled down with approximately 285 k Ω . Do not leave EN1 or EN2 unconnected to ensure proper operation.
ILIM1212IAdjustable Current Limit Programming Input. Connect a 3.1-k Ω to 7.8-k Ω resistor from ILIM to VSS to program the maximum input current (EN2=1, EN1=0). The input current includes the system load and the battery charge current.
IN1313IInput Power Connection. Connect IN to the connected to external DC supply (AC adapter or USB port). The input operating range is 4.35 V to 6.6 V. The input can accept voltages up to 26 V without damage but operation is suspended. Connect bypass capacitor 1 μ F to 10 μ F to VSS.
ISET1616I/OFast-Charge Current Programming Input. Connect a 3-k Ω to 36-k Ω resistor from ISET to VSS to program the fast-charge current level. Charging is disabled if ISET is left unconnected. While charging, the voltage at ISET reflects the actual charging current and can be used to monitor charge current. See the Charge Current Translator section for more details.
