LCOM
LEDcommonoutput
Open-drain output switches V

 to source
current for the LEDs. The switch is off dur-
ing initialization to allow reading of the soft

Each output may activate an LED to sink
the current sourced from LCOM.

Self-discharge rate selection (dual func-
tion with SEG

Display mode selection (dual function
with SEG

)
This three-level pin defines the display op-
eration shown in Table 1.
CHG
Charge control output
This open-drain output becomes active low
when charging is allowed.
conditions are described in the Charge Con-
trol section.
Valid charging
SR
Sense resistor input
The voltage drop (V
SR
) across the sense re-
sistor R
S
 is monitored and integrated over
time to interpret charge and discharge activ-
ity. The SR input is tied to the high side of
the sense resistor. V

DISP
Display control input
DISP high disables the LED display. DISP
tied to V
CC
allows PROG
X
to connect directly
to V
CC
or V
SS
instead of through a pull-up or
pull-down resistor. DISP floating allows the
LED display to be active during a valid
charge or during discharge if the NAC regis-
ter is updated at a rate equivalent to V
SRO
≤
-4mV. DISP low activates the display. See
Table 1.
SB
Secondary battery input
This input monitors the single-cell voltage
potential through a high-impedance resis-
tive divider network for end-of-discharge
voltage (EDV) thresholds, maximum charge
voltage (MCV), and battery removed.

Battery empty output
This
impedance on detection of a valid end-of-
discharge voltage (V

) and is low following
the next application of a valid charge.

Serial I/O pin
This is an open-drain bidirectional pin.
