PRODUCTION DATA
JEITA guideline from April 20, 2007 highlights information for improving the safety of charging Li-ion batteries. The guideline emphasizes the importance of avoiding a high charge current and high charge voltage at certain low and high temperature ranges.
To initiate a charge cycle, verify that the voltage on TS pin is within the VT1 to VT5 thresholds. If TS voltage exceeds the T1 – T5 range, the controller suspends charging and waits until the battery temperature is within the T1 – T5 range. At cool temperature (T1 – T2), JEITA recommends reducing the charge current to half of the charge current or lower. At warm temperature (T3 – T5), JEITA recommends charging the voltage less than 4.1V per cell.
At cool temperature T1 – T2, JEITA recommends reducing the charge current to lower than half of the charge current at normal temperature T2 – T3. The device provides the programmability of the charge current at T1 – T2 an 20%, 40% or 100% of the charge current at T2 – T3 or charge suspend, which is controlled by the register bits JEITA_ISETC.
At warm temperature T3 – T5, JEITA recommends charge voltage less than 4.1V / cell. The device provides the programmability of the charge voltage at T3 – T5, to be with a voltage offset less than charge voltage at T2 – T3 or charge suspend, which is controlled by the register bits JEITA_VSET.
The charger also provides flexible voltage/current settings beyond the JEITA requirements. The charge current setting at warm temperature T3 – T5 can be configured to be 40%, or 100% of the programmed charge current or charge suspend, which is programmed by the register bit JEITA_ISETH.
The default charging profile for JEITA is shown in the figure below, in which the blue line is the default setting and the red dash line is the programmable options.

Select 0°C to 60°C range for Li-ion or Li-polymer battery:
The device also offers programmability for all the thresholds using the TS charging threshold control register. This flexibility can help to change the operating window of the charger in software.
Disable the JEITA profile by clearing the EN_JEITA register bit. In this case, the device still limits the charging window from T1 – T5, but no special charge profile is employed within the Cool (T1 – T2) or Warm (T3 – T5) regions.
Disable the NTC monitoring window by clearing the EN_TS register bit. In this case, the TS pin voltage is ignored, and the device always reports normal TS status.
