The first step is to decide on the value of the current in the voltage divider resistor string in FLOAT mode. This
should be substantially higher than the input bias current in the CE and VFB pins and the leakage current in the
STAT1 pin, but low enough such that the voltage on the PGOOD pin does not introduce errors. A value of 50µA
is suitable.
In FLOAT mode, STAT1 is OFF, so there is no current in RD. The voltage on the VFB pin is 2.3V.
RC = 2.30V ÷ 50µA = 46kΩ. The closest 1% value is 45.9kΩ.
VFLOAT = VREF × A + RB + RC) ÷ RC → RA + RB = 2×RC = 91.8kΩ.
VBOOST = VREF × A + RB + RC//RD) ÷ RC//RD → RD = 469.2kΩ. Pick the closest 1% value of 464kΩ.
VTH = VREF × A + RB + RC//RD) ÷ B + RC//RD) → RB = 36.8559kΩ. The closest 1% value is 36.5kΩ.
RA = 91.8kΩ – RB = 46.5kΩ. The closest standard value is 46.4kΩ.
IPRE = (VIN – VBAT) ÷ RT → RT = 500Ω. Select 499Ω. At VIN(MAX), IPRE = 16mA, which is safe.
IMAX-CHG = VILIM ÷ RISNS → RISNS = 250mV ÷ 600mA = 0.417Ω. The closest 1% value is 0.422Ω.
For QEXT, the BD242 is suitable, and a 1N4001 will do for DEXT
RP = (VIN(MIN) – 2.0V) ÷ IMAX-CHG × hFE(MIN) = 7 ÷ 0.6 x 25 = 291.6Ω. Pick 294Ω from the standard values.
PD = (VIN(MAX) – 0.7V) ÷ hFE × IMAX-CHG – (IMAX-CHG)2 ÷ (hFE)2 × RD = 126mW under worst case conditions.
Choose CCOMP = 0.1µF.
