DS2726
Li+ Protection Conditions
Overvoltage, OV. If any cell voltage (V
CELL
) exceeds
the overvoltage threshold, V
OV
, for a period longer than
overvoltage delay, t
OVD
, the DS2726 shuts off the
external charge FET. When V
CELL
falls below the
charge-enable threshold V
CE
, the DS2726 turns the
charge FET on. The discharge FET remains enabled
during the overvoltage event. Care should be taken
while discharging during an OV condition because the
current drawn by the load is going through the body
diode of the CC FET.
Undervoltage, UV. If V
CELL
drops below the undervolt-
age threshold, V
UV
, for a period longer than undervolt-
age delay, t
UVD
, the DS2726 shuts off the charge and
discharge FETs and enters Sleep Mode. The device
remains in Sleep Mode until a charger is detected, at
which point the DS2726 wakes up and enables the CC
FET. The DC FET remains disabled until every cell is
above the V
UV_REL
threshold. Care should be taken
while charging during a UV event because the charge
current is flowing through the body diode of the DC FET.
Discharge Overcurrent, DOC. If V
SNS
is less than
V
RDOC
for a period longer than t
DOCD
, the DS2726
shuts off the external discharge FET. The discharge
current path is not reestablished until V
PKP
rises above
V
VIN
- V
TP
. The DS2726 provides a test current of value
I
TST
from the PKP pin to the V
IN
pin to detect the
removal of the offending low-impedance load. I
TST
is
not disabled if an undervoltage condition is reached.
Short Circuit, SC. If V
SNS
is less than V
RSC
for a peri-
od longer than short-circuit delay t
SCD
, the DS2726
shuts off the external discharge FET. The discharge
current path is not reestablished until V
PKP
rises above
V
VIN
- V
TP
. The DS2726 provides a test current of value
I
TST
from the PKP pin to the V
IN
pin to detect the
removal of the short. I
TST
is disabled if an undervoltage
condition is reached.
Summary. All the protection conditions described are
logic ORed to affect the CC and DC outputs:
DC = (Undervoltage) or (Discharge Overcurrent) or
(Short Circuit)
CC = (Overvoltage) or (Undervoltage and Charger
Detect)

Figure 3. Li+ Protection Circuitry Example Waveforms
Configuration for Number of Cells
The DS2726 protects 5 to 10 Li+-based cells connect-
ed in series. The number of cells is configured using
the SEL0 and SEL1 pins according to Table 2.
Pin V10 should always be connected to the positive ter-
minal of the battery stack regardless of the number of
cells in the stack. Cell connections that are not in use
for battery stacks with fewer than 10 cells should be
shorted to the cell connection below it. For example, a
stack with 9 cells would have V9 shorted to V8 and V8
connected to the positive terminal of the 8th cell; a
stack with 8 cells would have V9 shorted to V8 shorted
to V7 and V7 connected to the positive terminal of the
7th cell, and so on (see Figure 4).
Cell Connection Order
Care must be taken when connecting cells to the
DS2726 to avoid damaging the device. GND should be
connected first, then V
IN
. Next, V0 should be connect-
ed, then V1 and so on until V10 is connected last.

DS2726
Configuration of Overvoltage
Threshold
The DS2726 allows the OV threshold to be set using the
overvoltage select pins. The OV threshold is configured
using the OVS0 and OVS1 pins according to Table 3.
Enabling Cell Balancing
For cell balancing to begin the DS2726 must detect a
charger. The charge-balancing configuration pin
(CBCFG) controls how the IC detects a charger. If
CBCFG is pulled to GND, balancing is enabled when
the charge-current comparator detects a charger. This
detection occurs when V
PKP
> V
VIN
+ V
CDET
. If CBCFG
is pulled to V
CC
, cell balancing is enabled when the
SLEEP pin is driven to a logic-high state. Note that cell
balancing must be enabled and a valid cell-balancing
voltage must exist for cell balancing to occur.
Configuration of Cell-Balancing
Voltage Threshold
The DS2726 allows the cell-balancing threshold to be set
using the cell-balance select pins. The threshold is config-
ured using the CBS0 and CBS1 pins according to Table 4.
Setting the cell-balancing voltage threshold to zero dis-
ables the cell-balancing circuitry. The nominal cell-bal-
ancing voltage is never allowed a value below 3.75V.
Setting the OVS0 and OVS1 pins low while the CBS0
and CBS1 pins are high results in a cell-balancing volt-
age (V
BAL
) of 3.75V.
Nominal Cell-Balancing Voltage:
V
BAL
= V
OV
– Cell-Balancing Voltage Threshold
Balancing begins when any cell’s voltage is greater
than V
BAL
. When the balancing condition is met and
cell balancing is enabled, the corresponding internal
FET (from V
x
to V
x-1
) is enabled, shunting a portion of
the charge current around the cell. The external resis-
tors on V00–V10 should be chosen to limit the balanc-
ing current to a maximum of 200mA. This prevents
damaging the internal cell-balancing FETs.
The DS2726 has three distinct states during balancing.
A voltage measurement state of 5/32 t
OCD
time periods
is followed by a balancing state where even numbered
cells are balanced for 123/32 t
OCD
time periods.
Another voltage measurement state of 5/32 t
OCD
time
periods then occurs. This is followed by a balancing
state where odd numbered cells are balanced for
123/32 t
OCD
time periods. This gives an average bal-
ancing current of approximately half the maximum bal-
ance current. Cell balancing terminates when all cell
voltages are greater than V
BAL
. See the
Measurement
Sequence
section.
