MAX8895V/MAX8895W/MAX8895X/MAX8895Y
Charge Status Outputs
Charge Output (CHG) (MAX8895V/MAX8895X/
MAX8895Y Only)
CHG is an active-low, open-drain output that is driven
low during charging. CHG is logic-low when the battery
charger is in fast-charge and top-off states. When charge
current falls to the charge termination threshold and the
charger is in voltage mode CHG goes high impedance.
CHG holds its current state if the thermistor causes the
charger to enter temperature suspend mode. When
the MAX8895V/MAX8895X/MAX8895Y are used with a
microprocessor, connect a pullup resistor between CHG
and the logic I/O voltage to indicate charge status to the
microprocessor. Alternatively, CHG can sink up to 20mA
for an LED indicator.
Prequalification Output (PREQ)
(MAX8895V/MAX8895X/MAX8895Y Only)
PREQ is an active-low, open-drain output that is driven
low when the charger is in prequalification state. When
the MAX8895V/MAX8895X/MAX8895Y are used in con-
junction with a microprocessor, connect a pullup resis-
tor between PREQ and the logic I/O voltage to indicate
charge status to the microprocessor. Alternatively, PREQ
can sink up to 20mA for an LED indicator.
Fault Output (FLT) and Charge Timer (CT)
FLT is an active-low, open-drain output that is driven
low during a battery fault. The fault state occurs when
either the prequalification or fast-charge timer expires.
The prequalification and fast-charge fault timers are set
by CCT:

While in fast-charge mode, a large system load or device
self-heating may cause the MAX8895_ to reduce charge
current. Under these circumstances, the fast-charge timer
adjusts to ensure that adequate charge time is still
allowed. Consequently, the fast-charge timer is slowed
by 2x if charge current is reduced below 50% of the pro-
grammed fast charge level. If charge current is reduced
to below 20% of the programmed level, the fast-charge
timer is paused. The fast-charge timer is not adjusted if the
charger is in voltage mode where charge current reduces
due to current tapering under normal charging.
To exit a fault state, toggle CEN or remove and recon-
nect the VBUS_ input source. Note: A thermistor out-of-
range or on-chip thermal limit conditions are not consid-
ered faults. When the MAX8895V/MAX8895X/MAX8895Y
are used in conjunction with a microprocessor, connect
a pullup resistor between FLT and the logic I/O voltage to
indicate fault status to the microprocessor. Alternatively,
FLT can sink up to 20mA for an LED indicator.
CHG_TYPE Output (MAX8895W Only)
The output CHG_TYPE is used to indicate the type of
interface detected. If CHG_TYPE output is logic level
low the input current limit is set to 100mA or less. If
CHG_TYPE output is logic level high the input current
limit is set to 500mA or greater.
DET_DONE Output (MAX8895W Only)
DET_DONE is an active low, open-drain output that
is driven low once adapter detection is complete.
DET_DONE is high impedance in suspend mode.
IBUS_DEF Output (MAX8895W Only)
The IBUS_DEF input is only valid when ENU_EN is set
to logic-high activating the adapter type detection. If
the adapter type is detected as a USB 2.0 device, the
input current limit is set to the programmed value and
the MAX8895W does not initiate USB enumeration. If
IBUS_DEF is connected to ground or logic level low, the
input current limit is set to 100mA. If IBUS_DEF is con-
nected to INT_3V3 or logic level high, the input current
limit is set to 500mA.
Thermistor Input (THM)
The THM input connects to an external negative tem-
perature coefficient (NTC) thermistor to monitor battery
or system temperature. Charging is suspended when
the thermistor temperature is out of range. The charge
timers are suspended and hold their state, but no fault is
indicated. When the thermistor comes back into range,
charging resumes and the charge timer continues from
where it was at previously. Connecting THM to AGND
disables the thermistor monitoring function.
Since the thermistor monitoring circuit employs an exter-
nal bias resistor from THM to VINT_3V3 (RTB, Figure 25),
the thermistor is not limited only to 10kI (at TA = +25NC).
Any resistance thermistor can be used as long as the
value of RTB is equivalent to the thermistor’s TA = +25NC
resistance. For example, with a 10kI at TA = +25NC
thermistor, use 10kI at RTB, and with a 100kI at TA =
+25NC thermistor, use 100kI.
For a typical 10kI at TA = +25NC thermistor and a 10kI
RTB resistor, the charger enters a temperature suspend
state when the thermistor resistance falls below 3.97kI
(too hot) or rises above 28.7kI (too cold). These limits
