3.0 PIN DESCRIPTION
The descriptions of the pins are listed in Table 3-1.
TABLE 3-1: Pin Function Table.
3.1 Logic Shutdown (SHDN)
Input to force charge termination, initiate charge, or ini-
tiate recharge.
3.2 Battery Management 0V Reference
(GND)
Connect to negative terminal of battery.
3.3 Charge Status Output (MODE)
Open-drain drive for connection to an LED for charge
status indication. Alternatively, a pull-up resistor can be
applied for interfacing to a microcontroller. A low
impedance state indicates foldback current limit or con-
trolled current phase. A high impedance indicates con-
stant voltage phase or battery cell disconnected.
3.4 Charge Current Monitor (IMON)
Amplified output of the voltage difference between V
IN
and V
SNS
. A host microcontroller can monitor this out-
put with an A/D converter.
3.5 Cell Voltage Monitor Input (VBAT)
Voltage sense input. Connect to positive terminal of
battery. Bypass to GND with a minimum of 10 µF to
ensure loop stability when the battery is disconnected.
A precision internal resistor divider regulates the final
voltage on this pin to VREG.
3.6 Drive Output (VDRV)
Direct output drive of an external P-channel MOSFET
pass transistor for current and voltage regulation.
3.7 Charge Current Sense Input (VSNS)
Charge current is sensed via the voltage developed
across an external precision sense resistor. The sense
resistor must be placed between the supply voltage
(V
IN
) and the source of the external pass transistor. A
50 mΩ sense resistor produces a fast charge current of
1 A, typically.
3.8 Battery Management Input Supply
(VIN)
A supply voltage of 4.5V to 5.5V is recommended.
Bypass to GND with a minimum of 10 µF.

MCP73827
4.0 DEVICE OVERVIEW
The MCP73827 is a linear charge management con-
troller. Refer to the functional block diagram on page 2
and the typical application circuit, Figure 6-1.
4.1 Charge Qualification and
Preconditioning
Upon insertion of a battery or application of an external
supply, the MCP73827 verifies the state of the SHDN
pin. The SHDN pin must be above the logic High level.
If the SHDN
pin is above the logic High level, the
MCP73827 initiates a charge cycle. The charge status
output, MODE, is pulled low throughout throughout the
preconditioning and controlled current phases (see
Table 5-1 for charge status outputs). If the cell is below
the preconditioning threshold, 2.4V typically, the
MCP73827 preconditions the cell with a scaled back
current. The preconditioning current is set to approxi-
mately 43% of the fast charge peak current. The pre-
conditioning safely replenishes deeply depleted cells
and minimizes heat dissipation in the external pass
transistor during the initial charge cycle.
4.2 Controlled Current Regulation - Fast
Charge
Preconditioning ends and fast charging begins when
the cell voltage exceeds the preconditioning threshold.
Fast charge utilizes a foldback current scheme based
on the voltage at the V
SNS
input developed by the drop
across an external sense resistor, R
SENSE
, and the out-
put voltage, V
BAT
. Fast charge continues until the cell
voltage reaches the regulation voltage, V
REG
.
4.3 Constant Voltage Regulation
When the cell voltage reaches the regulation voltage,
V
REG
, constant voltage regulation begins. The
MCP73827 monitors the cell voltage at the V
BAT
pin.
This input is tied directly to the positive terminal of the
battery. The MCP73827 is offered in two fixed-voltage
versions for battery packs with either coke or graphite
anodes: 4.1V (MCP73827-4.1) and 4.2V
(MCP73827-4.2).
4.4 Charge Cycle Completion
The charge cycle can be terminated by a host micro-
controller when the output of the charge current moni-
tor, I
MON
, has diminished below approximately 10% of
the peak output voltage level. Alternatively, the transi-
tion of the charge status output, MODE, can be used to
initialize a timer to terminate the charge. The charge is
terminated by pulling the shutdown pin, SHDN
, to a
logic Low Level.
