Pin Description
PIN NAME FUNCTION
1LDO
Device Power Supply. Output of the 5.4V linear regulator supplied from DCIN. Bypass LDO to GND with
a 1µF or greater ceramic capacitor.
2 REF 4.096V Voltage Reference. Bypass REF to GND with a 1µF or greater ceramic capacitor.
3 CLS
Source Current-Limit Input. Voltage input for setting the current limit of the input source. See the Setting
the Input Current Limit section.
4, 8 GND Analog Ground
5 CCV
Voltage Regulation Loop Compensation Point. Connect a 10kΩ resistor in series with a 0.01µF capacitor
to GND.
6 CCI Charge-Current Regulation Loop Compensation Point. Connect a 0.01µF capacitor to GND.
7 CCS Input-Current Regulation Loop Compensation Point. Connect a 0.01µF capacitor to GND.
9 REFIN Reference Input. ICTL and VCTL are ratiometric with respect to REFIN for increased accuracy.
10 ASNS
Adapter Sense Output. Logic output is high when input current is greater than 1.5A (using 30mΩ sense
resistors and a 10kΩ resistor from IINP to GND).
11 VCTL
Charge-Voltage Control Input. Drive VCTL from 0 to V
REFIN
to adjust the charge voltage from 4V to 4.4V
per cell. See the Setting the Charge Voltage section.
