Event Description
— The device detects the load resistance has risen above 250kΩ.
— Voltages P+ and VCS₂₁ return to their normal levels.
— The test current from pin OVP/LMON is stopped (I_LMON=0µA)
— The device has now returned from the load monitor state
— The internal over-current release time timer begins counting down.
— Device is still in over-current protection mode.
The internal over-current release timer continues counting for T_OCR seconds.
— The internal over-current release timer times out, and VCS₂₁ is still below V_OC.
— The device returns from over-current protection mode, and is now in normal operation mode.
— The discharge FET is automatically switched ON (UVP/OCP=Vss)—unless the status of UVPC has
been changed in the control register during the over-current protection mode.
— The status of the charge FET remains unaffected.
— Discharge of the battery cells is once again possible.
MONITOR MODE
Analog Multiplexer Selection
The X3100 and X3101 can be used to externally monitor
individual battery cell voltages, and battery current.
Each quantity can be monitored at the analog output pin
(AO), and is selected using the analog select (AS0–AS2)
pins (Table 25). Also, see Figure 9.
Since the value of the sense resistor (R_SENSE) is small
(typically in the order of tens of mΩ), and since the
resolution of various A/D converters may vary, the
voltage across R_SENSE (VCS₁ and VCS₂) is amplified
internally with a gain of between 10 and 160, and output
to pin AO (Figure 9).

Notes: (1) This is the normal state of the X3100 or X3101. While in
this state Over-charge and Over-discharge Protection
conditions are periodically monitored (See “Periodic Pro-
tection Monitoring” on page 12.)
(2) VCS₁, VCS₂ are read at AO with respect to a DC bias
voltage of 2.5V (See section “Current Monitor Function”
on page 20).

Current Monitor Function
The voltages monitored at pins VCS₁ and VCS₂ can be
used to calculate current flowing through the battery
terminals, using an off-board microcontroller with an A/D.
The internal gain of the X3100 or X3101 current sense
voltage amplifier can be selected by using the WCNTR
