Open-drain output switches V

Capacity initialization selection
This three-level pin defines the battery state

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 between the nega-
tive terminal of the battery and the sense re-
sistor. V

DISP
Display control input
DISP high disables the LED display. DISP
tied to V

allows PROG

instead of through a pull-up or
pull-down resistor. DISP floating allows the
LED display to be active during charge.
DISP low activates the display. See Table 1.
SB
Secondary battery input
This input monitors the battery cell voltage
potential through a high-impedance resis-
tive divider network for end-of-discharge
voltage (EDV) thresholds, and battery re-
moved.
RBI
Register backup input
This pin is used to provide backup potential to
the bq2050 registers during periods when

can be connected to RBI.
DQ
Serial I/O pin
This is an open-drain bidirectional pin.
REF
Voltage reference output for regulator
REF provides a voltage reference output for
an optional micro-regulator.
