PRODUCTION DATA
PIN | TYPE(1) | DESCRIPTION | |
---|---|---|---|
NAME | NUMBER | ||
BAT | C3 | PI, AI | LDO regulator input and battery voltage measurement input. Kelvin sense connect to positive battery terminal (PACKP). Connect a capacitor (1 µF) between BAT and VSS. Place the capacitor close to the gauge. |
BIN | B1 | DI | Battery insertion detection input. If
OpConfig[BI_PU_EN] = 1
(default), a logic low on the pin is detected as battery insertion.
For a removable pack, the BIN pin can be connected to VSS
through a pulldown resistor on the pack, typically the 10-kΩ
thermistor; the system board should use a 1.8-MΩ pullup resistor to
VDD to
verify
the BIN pin is high when a battery is removed. If the battery is
embedded in the system,
leave
[BI_PU_EN] = 1 and use a 10-kΩ pulldown
resistor from BIN to VSS. If [BI_PU_EN] =
0, then the host must inform the gauge of battery insertion and
removal with the BAT_INSERT and BAT_REMOVE
subcommands. A 10-kΩ pulldown resistor should be placed between BIN and VSS, even if this pin is unused. NOTE: The BIN pin must not be shorted directly to VCC or VSS and any pullup resistor on the BIN pin must be connected only to VDD and not an external voltage rail. If an external thermistor is used for temperature input, the thermistor should be connected between this pin and VSS. |
GPOUT | A1 | DO | This open-drain output can be configured
to indicate BAT_LOW when the
OpConfig[BATLOWEN] bit is set.
By default [BATLOWEN] is cleared and this pin performs
an interrupt function (SOC_INT) by pulsing for specific events, such
as a change in state-of-charge. Signal polarity for these functions
is controlled by the [GPIOPOL] configuration bit. This
pin should not be left floating, even if unused; therefore, a 10-kΩ
pullup resistor is recommended. If the device is in SHUTDOWN mode,
toggling GPOUT will make the gauge exit SHUTDOWN. Connect GPOUT to a GPIO of the host MCU so that in case of any inadvertent shutdown condition, the gauge can be commanded to come out of SHUTDOWN. |
SCL | A3 | DIO | Peripheral I2C serial bus for communication with system (primary). Open-drain pins. Use with external 10-kΩ pullup resistors (typical) for each pin. If the external pullup resistors are disconnected from these pins during normal operation, use external 1-MΩ pulldown resistors to VSS at each pin to avoid floating inputs. |
SDA | A2 | DIO | |
SRX | C2 | AI | Integrated high-side sense resistor and coulomb counter input, connected between battery pack and system power rail VSYS. |
VDD | B3 | PO | 1.8-V regulator output. Decouple with 2.2-μF ceramic capacitor to VSS. This pin is not intended to provide power for other devices in the system. |
VSS | B2, C1 | PI | Ground pin |
