The CTL pin can be used as a control input to assert the OUT driver upon demand by driving the pin low. This pin can also be used to implement cell overtemperature (OT) protection by connecting a PTC thermistor between the CTL and VDD pins. The device includes a pulldown resistance on the CTL pin which is configured by TI with options ranging from 500kΩ to 10MΩ.
Using the CTL pin functionality requires a VDD voltage of 5V or above. If the device is to be used in an application with VDD < 5V, then connect the CTL pin to VDD.
