Determine the number of cells in series. The device supports a 2-S to 4-S cell configuration. For 2S and 3S, the top unused pin(s) should be shorted as shown in Figure 9-2 and Figure 9-3.
Determine the overvoltage protection delay. Follow the calculation example described in Section 8.3.4. Select the correct capacitor to connect to the CD pin.
Follow the application schematic to connect the device. If the OUT pin is configured to open drain, an external pull-up resistor should be used. Refer to the Out Sink Current specification, IOUTH2 to ensure a proper pull-up resistor value is used, so that the OUT pin sink current is able to pull down the pin during OV condition.
