Charge Status Display
The charge status is indicated by open-drain output
LED.
Table 5 summarizes the display output of the
bq2000T.
Sleep Mode
The bq2000T features a sleep mode for low power con-
sumption. This mode is enabled when the voltage at pin
BAT is above the low-power-mode threshold, V
SLP
. Dur-
ing sleep mode, the bq2000T shuts down all internal cir-
cuits, drives the LED output to high-impedance state,
and drives pin MOD to low. Restoring BAT below the
V
MCV
threshold initiates the IC and starts a fast-charge
cycle.
