Li+ Protection Circuitry
During active mode, the DS2775–DS2778 constantly
monitor SNS, V
IN1
, V
IN2
, and PLS to protect the battery
from overvoltage (overcharge), undervoltage (overdis-
charge), and excessive charge and discharge currents
(overcurrent, short circuit). Table 1 summarizes the
conditions that activate the protection circuit, the
response of the DS2775–DS2778, and the thresholds
that release the DS2775–DS2778 from a protection
state. Figure 3 shows Li+ protection circuitry example
waveforms.
Overvoltage (OV)
If either of the voltages on (V
IN2
- V
IN1
) or (V
IN1
- V
SS
)
exceeds the overvoltage threshold, V
OV
, for a period
longer than overvoltage delay, t
OVD
, the CC pin is dri-
ven low to shut off the external charge FET and the OV
flag in the Protection register is set. The DC output
remains high during overvoltage to allow discharging.
When (V
IN2
- V
IN1
) and (V
IN1
- V
SS
) falls below the
charge-enable threshold, V
CE
, the DS2775–DS2778
turn the charge FET on by driving CC high. The
DS2775–DS2778 drive CC high before [(V
IN2
- V
IN1
)
and (V
IN1
- V
SS
)] < V
CE
if a discharge condition per-
sists with V
SNS
≥ 1.2mV and [(V
IN2
- V
IN1
) and (V
IN1
-
V
SS
)] < V
