Functional Description (continued)

INPUTS

DC

Pins 12 and 13 are the DC input. This input will allow charging from input voltages between 4.15V and 7V, and can

withstand up to 28V without device damage although charging is disabled above 7.5V (typ.).

GND

System ground connection.

EN

Pin 8 is the enable pin of the device. When pulled low the device will operate normally. When high, the device will

remain in the disabled state. For auto-starting, connect pin 8 directly to GND.

SETI

Pin 2 allows the charge currents to be programmed.

The thermistor connection is on pin 3. This allows the battery temperature to be monitored using a 10k NTC

thermistor, which should be placed as close as possible to the battery cell. If no thermistor is used then this input should be

connected directly to ground. The charger will operate when there is less than 315

Ω on this input (i.e., no thermistor

connected); will be disabled when there is between 315

Ω and 3.94kΩ; enabled when between 3.94kΩ and 28.3kΩ; and

disabled above 28.3k

Ω.
