Battery Voltage Regulation
The bq24600 uses a high accuracy voltage bandgap and regulator for the high accuracy charging voltage. The
charge voltage is programmed via a resistor divider from the battery to ground, with the midpoint tied to the VFB
pin. The voltage at the VFB pin is regulated to 2.1V, giving the following equation for the regulation voltage:
VBAT = 2.1 V ´

where R2 is connected from VFB to the battery and R1 is connected from VFB to GND
Battery Current Regulation
The ISET input sets the maximum charging current. Battery current is sensed by resistor R_SR connected between
SRP and SRN. The full-scale differential voltage between SRP and SRN is 100mV. Thus, for a 10mΩ sense
resistor, the maximum charging current is 10A. The equation for charge current is:

V_ISET, The input voltage range of ISET is between 0 and 2V. The SRP and SRN pins are used to sense voltage
across RSR with default value of 10mΩ. However, resistors of other values can also be used. A larger sense
resistor will give a larger sense voltage, a higher regulation accuracy; but, at the expense of higher conduction
loss.
