Functional Pin Descriptions
VDC
Adapter input pin. This pin is usually connected to adapter
power. The maximum input voltage is 28V. The charge
current from this pin is programmable up to 1.2A by selection
of the resistor on the IVDC pin. When this pin is connected to
a power source, no charge current is drawn from the USB
pin. A 1µF or larger value ceramic capacitor is
recommended for decoupling.
VDC_LDO
Linear regulator output. A 0.1µF to 1µF ceramic capacitor
from this pin to ground is required.
USB_BYP
USB input bypass pin. This is an output from the low current
bypass FET connected to the USB input pin. The USB_BYP
can be connected to the system to provide safe,
voltage-limited power from the USB input pin.
VUSB
VUSB Input pin. This pin is usually connected to a USB port
power connector. The maximum input voltage is 28V.
However, the internal OVP circuitry will trip at 5.4V.
The maximum current drawn from the VUSB pin is the
combination of the load at USB_BYP and the programmed
USB charging current.
A 1µF bypass capacitor is recommended on the VUSB pin.
Higher values of bypass capacitance can be utilized but the
designer should refer to the maximum allowed bus capacitance
per USB application standard. When using ceramic capacitors,
a small resistance value, such as 1 in series with the
capacitor, is recommended to reduce voltage overshoot.
IVDC
Adapter charging current setting pin. A resistor on this pin
sets the maximum charging current to be delivered to the
BAT pin. The maximum current, however, may be reduced
by the adapter’s current limit or by the power dissipation
within the charging IC.
IUSB
USB charge current pin. This pin is connected internally to a
current source for setting the programmed charging current
delivered to the BAT pin.
BAT
Charger IC output pin. This pin is to be connected to the
positive (+) terminal of the battery. The charging IC monitors
this pin to determine the charge state of the battery.
A 1µF bypass capacitor from the BAT pin to ground is
recommended. The charging IC relies on the battery to help
stabilize the circuitry and it is not recommended to operate
the charger IC without a battery connected to this pin.
EN
Enable charging pin. This pin is a logic level input to control
charging by the system processor. An external pull-up
resistor should be connected to processor’s I/O power
supply.
