9.3.3.2 Input Source Not Connected
When no source is connected to the IN input, OUT is powered strictly from the battery. During this mode, the
current into OUT is unregulated, similar to Battery Supplement Mode; however, the short-circuit circuitry is active.
If the OUT voltage falls below the BAT voltage by 250 mV for longer than tDGL(SC2), OUT is turned off. The short-
circuit recovery timer then starts counting. After tREC(SC2), OUT turns on and attempts to restart. If the short-circuit
remains, OUT is turned off and the counter restarts. This ON/OFF cycle continues until the overload condition is
removed.
9.3.4 Battery Charging
Set CE low to initiate battery charging. First, the device checks for a short circuit on the BAT pin by sourcing
IBAT(SC) to the battery and monitoring the voltage. When the BAT voltage exceeds VBAT(SC), the battery charging
continues. The battery is charged in three phases: conditioning precharge, constant-current fast charge (current
regulation), and a constant-voltage tapering (voltage regulation). In all charge phases, an internal control loop
monitors the IC junction temperature and reduces the charge current if an internal temperature threshold is
exceeded.

Figure 14. Normal Li-ion Charge Cycle
In the precharge phase, the battery is charged with the precharge current (IPRECHG). Once the battery voltage
crosses the VLOWV threshold, the battery is charged with the fast-charge current (ICHG). As the battery voltage
reaches VBAT(REG), the battery is held at a constant voltage of VBAT(REG) and the charge current tapers off as the
battery approaches full charge. When the battery current reaches ITERM, the CHG pin indicates charging done by
going high impedance.
IPRECHG = KPRECHG/RISET

Termination detection is disabled whenever the charge rate is reduced because of the actions of the thermal
loop, the DPPM loop, or the VIN(LOW) loop.
The value of the fast-charge current is set by the resistor connected from the ISET pin to VSS, and is given by
Equation 2:
ICHG = KISET/RISET
