Pin Functions
Pin Functions
| PIN | PIN | I/O | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|---|---|
| NAME | NO. | I/O | DESCRIPTION |
| AVSS | 12 | Supply | Signal ground connection for the device |
| LBST | 16 | Input | Inductor connection for the boost charger switching node. Connect a 22 μH inductor between this pin and pin 2 (VIN_DC). |
| OK_HYST | 9 | Input | Connect to the mid-point of external resistor divider between VRDIV and GND for setting the VBAT_OK hysteresis threshold. If not used, connect this pin to GND. |
| OK_PROG | 10 | Input | Connect to the mid-point of external resistor divider between VRDIV and GND for setting the VBAT_OK threshold. If not used, connect this pin to GND. |
| OT_PROG | 5 | Input | Digital Programming input for IC overtemperature threshold. Connect to GND for 60 C threshold or VSTOR for 120 C threshold. |
| VBAT | 14 | I/O | Connect a rechargeable storage element with at least 100 μF of equivalent capacitance to this pin. |
| VBAT_OK | 11 | Output | Digital output for battery good indicator. Internally referenced to the VSTOR voltage. Leave floating if not used. |
| VBAT_OV | 6 | Input | Connect to the mid-point of external resistor divider between VRDIV and GND for setting the VSTOR = VBAT overvoltage threshold. |
| VBAT_UV | 8 | Input | Connect to the mid-point of external resistor divider between VRDIV and GND for setting the VBAT undervoltage threshold. The PFET between VBAT and VSTOR opens if the voltage on VSTOR is below this threshold. |
| VIN_DC | 2 | Input | DC voltage input from energy harvesters. Connect at least a 4.7 μF capacitor as close as possible between this pin and pin 1. |
| VOC_SAMP | 3 | Input | Sampling pin for MPPT network. Connect to the mid-point of external resistor divider between VIN_DC and GND for setting the MPP threshold voltage which will be stored on the VREF_SAMP pin. To disable the MPPT sampling circuit, connect to VSTOR. |
| VRDIV | 7 | Output | Resistor divider biasing voltage. |
| VREF_SAMP | 4 | Input | Connect a 0.01 μF low leakage capacitor from this pin to GND to store the voltage to which VIN_DC will be regulated. This voltage is provided by the MPPT sample circuit. When MPPT is disabled, either use an external voltage source to provide this voltage or tie this pin to GND to disable input voltage regulation (i.e. operate from a low impedance power supply). |
| VSS | 1 | Input | General ground connection for the device |
| VSS | 13 | Supply | General ground connection for the device |
| VSTOR | 15 | Output | Connection for the output of the boost charger, which is typically connected to the system load. Connect at least a 4.7 μF capacitor in parallel with a 0.1 μF capacitor as close as possible to between this pin and pin 1 (VSS). |
