2. Voltage Detection Block (VS pin)
The VS pin determines charge voltage, low voltage, over voltage, and re-charge voltage. Battery voltage conditions are
constantly monitored. (Figure 2)
2-1. Charge Voltage (VS pin)
Charge voltage VBAT is set using the VS pin external
resistors RB1 and RB2 and the following equation:
VBAT =2B
2B1B
R
RR +x VREF-CV (2.1V)
Using the following settings makes it easy to support
applications for one or two cells: for one cell, RB1= RB2;
for two cells, RB1=3 x RB2.
If you use a high resistance, the VS pin's bias current will
cause incorrect values. Use as low a resistance as
possible.
2-2. Overcharge Detection Block (VS pin)
The overcharge detection block stops charging when a
high voltage is detected at the VS pin.
The overcharge detection voltage is obtained with the following equation:
VOV=VBAT × 1.025 (typ.)
When overcharge is detected, charging is prohibited and LED-R blinks. After that, charge will continue to be prohibited, even
after battery voltage drops to a normal value. Turning the power off to release UVLO, battery connection detection, or
CHG-SW switching will enable the charge sequence to restart.
2-3. Low Voltage Detection (2mA charge) Block (VS pin, CS1 pin)
The low voltage detection block detects an
over-discharged battery, or an open battery caused by
the battery protection circuit or the like. This will
determine a 2mA charge prior to pre-charging.
The low voltage detection voltage is obtained with the
following equation:
VLV=VBAT × 0.525 (typ.)
During a 2mA charge, the block monitors battery voltage
recovery while a steady 2mA current is output from the
CS1 pin. (Figure 3)
If voltage does not recover within a prescribed time, the
timer will prohibit 2mA charging. Turning the power off to
release UVLO, battery connection detection, or CHG-SW
switching will enable the charge sequence to restart.
2-4. Re-Charge Detection (VS pin)
When a fully charged battery is left for a long period of time, voltage will drop due to self-discharge. The re-charge detection
block detects a drop in voltage and re-charges the battery.
The re-charge detection voltage is obtained with the following equation.
VR-CHG=VBAT × 0.95 (typ.)
