NAME
FUNCTION
1
DCIN
Charging Voltage Input. Bypass DCIN with a 1µF capacitor to PGND.
2
LDO
D evi ce P ow er S up p l y. Outp ut of the 5.4V l i near r eg ul ator sup p l i ed fr om D C IN . Byp ass w i th a 1µF cap aci tor to GN D .
3
CLS
Source Current-Limit Input. Voltage input for setting the current limit of the input source.
4
REF
4.096V Voltage Reference. Bypass REF with a 1µF capacitor to GND.
5
CCS
Input-Current Regulation Loop-Compensation Point. Connect a 0.01µF capacitor to GND.
6
CCI
Output-Current Regulation Loop-Compensation Point. Connect a 0.01µF capacitor to GND.
7
CCV
Voltage Regulation Loop-Compensation Point. Connect 1k
Ω
in series with 0.1µF capacitor to GND.
8
SHDN
Shutdown Control Input. Drive SHDN logic low to shut down the MAX1908/MAX8724. Use with a thermistor to
detect a hot battery and suspend charging.
9
ICHG
Charge-Current Monitor Output. ICHG is a scaled-down replica of the charger output current. Use ICHG to
monitor the charging current and detect when the chip changes from constant-current mode to constant-
voltage mode. The transconductance of (CSIP - CSIN) to ICHG is 3µA/mV.
10
ACIN
AC Detect Input. Input to an uncommitted comparator. ACIN can be used to detect AC-adapter presence.
11
ACOK
AC Detect Output. High-voltage open-drain output is high impedance when V
ACIN
is less than V
REF
/ 2.
12
REFIN
Reference Input. Allows the ICTL and VCTL inputs to have ratiometric ranges for increased accuracy.
13
ICTL
Output Current-Limit Set Input. ICTL input voltage range is V
REFIN
/ 32 to V
REFIN
. The device shuts down if
ICTL is forced below V
REFIN
/ 100. When ICTL is equal to LDO, the set point for CSIP - CSIN is 45mV.
14
GND
Analog Ground
15
VCTL
Output-Voltage Limit Set Input. VCTL input voltage range is 0 to V
REFIN
. When VCTL is equal to LDO, the set
point is (4.2 x CELLS) V.
16
BATT
Battery Voltage Input
17
CELLS
Cell Count Input. Trilevel input for setting number of cells. GND = 2 cells, float = 3 cells, REFIN = 4 cells.
18
CSIN
Output Current-Sense Negative Input
19
CSIP
Output Current-Sense Positive Input. Connect a current-sense resistor from CSIP to CSIN.
20
PGND
Power Ground
21
DLO
Low-Side Power MOSFET Driver Output. Connect to low-side NMOS gate.
22
DLOV
Low-Side Driver Supply. Bypass DLOV with a 1µF capacitor to GND.
23
LX
High-Side Power MOSFET Driver Power-Return Connection. Connect to the source of the high-side NMOS.
24
BST
High-Side Power MOSFET Driver Power-Supply Connection. Connect a 0.1µF capacitor from LX to BST.
25
DHI
High-Side Power MOSFET Driver Output. Connect to high-side NMOS gate.
26
CSSN
Input Current-Sense Negative Input
27
CSSP
Input Current-Sense Positive Input. Connect a current-sense resistor from CSSP to CSSN.
28
IINP
Input-Current Monitor Output. IINP is a scaled-down replica of the input current. IINP monitors the total
system current. The transconductance of (CSSP - CSSN) to IINP is 3µA/mV.
