Caution Unless o therwise specified, th e output voltage levels “H” and “L” at CO pin (VCO) and DO pin (VDO) are
judged by the threshold voltage (1.0 V) of the N-channel FET. Judge the CO pin level with respect to
VVM and the DO pin level with respect to VSS.
1. Overcharge Detection Voltage, Overcharge Release Voltage
(Test Condition 1, Test Circuit 1)
Overcharge detection voltage 1 (V CU1) is defined as the voltage between the VDD pin and VC pin at which VCO goes
from “H” to “L” when the voltage V1 is gradually increase d from the starting condition of V1 = V2 = VCU
–
0.05 V, V3 = 0
V. Overcharge release voltage 1 (VCL1) is defined as the voltage bet ween the VDD and VC pins at which VCO goes
from “L” to “H” when setting V2 = 3.5 V and the voltage V1 is then gradually decreased. Overcharge hysteresis
voltage 1 (VHC1) is defined as the difference bet ween overcharge detection voltage 1 (VCU1) and overcharge release
voltage 1 (VCL1).
Overcharge detection voltage 2 (VCU2) is defined as the volt age between the VC pin and VSS pin at which VCO goes
from “H” to “L” when the voltage V2 is gradually increase d from the starting condition of V1 = V2 = VCU
–
0.05 V, V3 = 0
V. Overcharge release voltage 2 (VCL2) is defined as the voltage between the VC and VSS pins at which VCO goes
from “L” to “H” when setting V1 = 3.5 V and the voltage V2 is then gradually decreased. Overcharge hysteresis

V. Overdischarge release voltage 1 (VDU1) is defined as the voltage between the VDD pin and VC pin at which VDO
goes from “L” to “H” when setting V2 = 3.5 V and the voltage V1 is then gradually increased. Overdischarge
hysteresis voltage 1 (VHD1) is defined as the difference between overdischarge release voltage 1 (VDU1) and
overdischarge detection volta ge 1 (VDL1).
Overdischarge detection voltage 2 (VDL2) is defined as the voltage between the VC pin and VSS pin at which VDO
goes from “H” to “L” when the voltage V2 is g raduall y decreased from the starting condition of V1 = V2 = 3.5 V, V3 = 0
V. Overdischarge release voltage 2 (VDU2) is defined as the voltage between the VC pin and VSS pin at which VDO

3. Overcurrent Detection Voltage 1, Overcurrent Detectio n Voltage 2
(Test Condition 3, Test Circuit 2)
Overcurrent detection voltage 1 (VIOV1) is defined as the vo ltage between the VM pin and VSS pin whose dela y time
for changing VDO from “H” to “ L” lies between the minimum and the maximum value of overcurrent delay time 1 when
the voltage V3 is increased rapidly within 10 μs from the starting condition of V1 = V2 = 3.5 V, V3 = 0 V.
Overcurrent detection voltage 2 (VIOV2) is defined as the vo ltage between the VM pin and VSS pin whose dela y time
for changing VDO from “H” to “ L” lies between the minimum and the maximum value of overcurrent delay time 2 when
the voltage V3 is increased rapidly within 10 μs from the starting condition of V1 = V2 = 3.5 V, V3 = 0 V.
4. Charger Detection Voltage
(Test Condition 4, Test Circuit 2)
The charger detection voltage (VCHA) is defined as the voltage between the VM pin and VSS pin at which VDO goes
from “L” to “H” when the voltage V3 is gradually decreased from 0 V after the voltage V1 is gradually incr eased from
the starting condition of V1 = 1.8 V, V2 = 3.5 V, V3 = 0 V until the voltage V1 becomes VDL1 + (VHD1/2).
The charger detection voltage can be measure d only in a product whose over discharge hysteresis VHD ≠ 0 V.
