Ensure that the total output capacitance at the battery node is not so large that the discharge current source
cannot pull the voltage below the LOWV threshold during the 1-second discharge time. The maximum output
capacitance can be calculated as follows:
CMAX
=
IDISCH ´ tDISCH

where
• CMAX is the maximum output capacitance.
• IDISCH is the discharge current.
• tDISCH is the discharge time.
• R2 and R1 are the voltage feedback resistors from the battery to the VFB pin.
(10)
The 0.5 factor is the difference between the RECHARGE and the LOWV thresholds at the VFB pin.
Example
For a three-cell Li+ charger, with R2 = 500 kΩ, R1 = 100 kΩ (giving 12.6 V for voltage regulation), IDISCH = 8 mA,
tDISCH = 1 second,
8mA ´ 1sec

= 2.7 mF
(11)
Based on these calculations, no more than 2.7 mF should be allowed on the battery node for proper operation of
the battery detection circuit.
