DETAILED DESCRIPTION
POWER FET
The integrated transistor is a P-channel MOSFET. The
power FET features a reverse-blocking Schottky diode,
which prevents current flow from OUT to IN.
An internal thermal-sense circuit shuts off the power FET
when the junction temperature rises to approximately
165掳C. Hysteresis is built into the thermal sense circuit.
After the device has cooled approximately 10掳C, the
power FET turns back on. The power FET continues to
cycle off and on until the fault is removed.
VOLTAGE SENSE
To achieve maximum voltage regulation accuracy, the
bq2400x uses the feedback on the VSENSE pin.
Externally, this pin should be connected as close to the
battery cell terminals as possible. For additional safety, a
10-k鈩?internal pullup resistor is connected between the
VSENSE and OUT pins.
ENABLE (EN)
The logic EN input is used to enable or disable the IC. A
high-level signal on this pin enables the bq2400x. A
low-level signal disables the IC and places the device in a
low-power standby mode.
CURRENT SENSE
The bq2400x regulates current by sensing, on the ISNS
pin, the voltage drop developed across an external sense
resistor. The sense resistor must be placed between the
supply voltage (Vcc) and the input of the IC (IN pins).
