(V BATT = 2.3V to 4.9V, T A = -40°C to 85°C, typical values are T A = +25°C, Limits are 100% tested at T A = +25°C. Limits over the operating temperature range and relevant supply voltage range are guaranteed by design and characterization. Specifications marked GBD are guaranteed by design and not production tested.)

Stresses beyond those listed under 'Absolute Maximum Ratings' may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

Figure 1 shows two application circuits. One where the MAX17055 is located in a system that has a removable battery pack and the other where the MAX17055 is located in a system with a captive battery. In both cases, the IC is mounted outside of the protector circuit to allow communication to the pack even when the protection FETs are disabled. Take care to avoid exceeding the maximum operating voltage on any pin under fault conditions. In the removable battery system, temperature readings are made using an external thermistor divider network. In the captive pack system, temperature measurements are made internal to the IC saving the cost and size of two components. System current is measured using an external sense resistor connected between the CSP and CSN pins. System voltage measurements are made between the BATT and CSP pins. Keep the BATT and REG bypass capacitor loop areas as small as possible by connecting them directly to CSP. Note that when using the TDFN package option connect the exposed pad (EP) directly to CSP.
