CHGA1AOHigh-side NMOS charge FET driver output
DSGA2AOHigh-side NMOS discharge FET driver output
PACKA3AIPack input voltage sensing pin and path for zero-volt charge (ZVCHG) current to flow within the device from PACK to BAT. Connect a series 500 Ω typical resistor (RPACK) between the PACK pin and the PACK+ positive terminal.
BATB1P, AILDO regulator input and battery voltage measurement sense input. Connect a capacitor (CBAT) with the recommended typical capacitance of 1 µF between BAT and VSS. Place the capacitor close to the gauge.
CPB2AOInternal charge pump connection to the top of an external bypass capacitor (CCP) with the recommended typical capacitance of 1 µF. Connect the capacitor between CP and CP_BOOT. Place the capacitor close to the gauge.
REG18B3PInternal regulator output. Requires a capacitor (CREG18) with the recommended typical capacitance of 1.5 µF connected between REG18 and VSS. Place the capacitor close to the gauge.
TSC1AIThermistor input to VADC with internal 18 kΩ pull-up resistor. If not used, connect directly to VSS or leave floating and configure data flash accordingly.
INTC2I/OProgrammable output interrupt to host. Can also be configured as a programmable push-pull GPIO via device firmware. If not used, leave floating and configure data flash accordingly.
CP_BOOTC3AOInternal charge pump connection to the bottom of an external bypass capacitor (CCP) with the recommended typical capacitance of 1µF. Connect the capacitor between CP and CP_BOOT. Place the capacitor close to the gauge.
VSSD1PDevice ground
ENABD2IActive low digital input with weak internal pull-up to BAT. Driving this signal to the PACK- battery pack terminal while the device is in a SHELF or SHUTDOWN mode will enable the device to wake up. If used, ENAB must be driven low with 1kΩ series resistor.
SDAD3I/ODigital input, open drain output for I2C serial data
SRPE1AIAnalog input pin connected to the internal Coulomb counter peripheral for integrating a small voltage between SRP and SRN, where SRP is the top of the sense resistor. A charging current generates a positive voltage at SRP relative to SRN.
SRNE2AIAnalog input pin connected to the internal Coulomb counter peripheral for integrating a small voltage between SRP and SRN, where SRN is the bottom of the sense resistor. A charging current generates a positive voltage at SRP relative to SRN.
