PRODUCTION DATA
After a valid VIN is applied and the CE pin is pulled LOW, the device checks the resistor on the ISET pin for a short circuit (RISET < RISET_SHORT). If a short is detected, the charger remains in the fault state until VIN or the CE pin is toggled. If the ISET pin is an open circuit, the charger charges with a very low charging current on the order of 1.5mA. This pin is monitored during charging, and changes in RISET while charging immediately affect the charge current. An external pull-down resistor (±1% or better recommended to minimize charge current error) from the ISET pin to GND sets the charge current as:
For charge currents below 50mA, an extra RC circuit using 50pF capacitance is recommended on the ISET pin to improve signal stability. The ISET pin can also be used to monitor device current when the device is not in ICHG regulation. The voltage on the ISET pin is proportional to the charging current. To measure the charge current while charging, the following formula can be used:
