FullSOCThr Register (13h)

The FullSOCThr register gates detection of end-of-
charge. SOC

VF

must be larger than the FullSOCThr

value before ICHGTerm is compared to the Average
Current register value. The recommended FullSOCThr
register setting for most applications is 95%. See the
ICHGTerm register description for details. The FullSOCThr
register is 70% at power-up.

Figure 24

is the FullSOCThr

register format.

End-of-Charge Detection

The device detects the end of a charge cycle when

the application current falls into the band set by the

ICHGTerm register value. By monitoring both the current

and average current registers, the device can reject false

end-of-charge events such as application load spikes

or early charge-source removal. See the End-of-Charge

Detection graph in the

Typical Operating Characteristics

and
