POSSIBLE OPERATING MODES
Five different operating m odes are allowed:
charge, precharge, reverse, charge+reverse and
precharge+reverse. These op erating modes can
beachieved byproperly selectionof the
CMD-REVERSE C MD-PWM and CMD-MODE
(See POSSIBLE OPERATING MODE Table).
PRECHARGE MODE
The PRE CHARGE function is compos ed by a
switch and a 100mA current source which fully
works for V
CHARGE
higher than 2.5V. When the
CMD-MODE and the CMD-PWM are not leaded
the switc h is ON, being the i nput states held by an
internal pull down resistor. This is used when the
4/17
battery is strongly discharged. In this case V
BATT
can be null (battery empty) and all the i nput pins
arenotheldbyanylevel(becausethe
micro-controller is down), except the V
CHARGE
pin
which is a main supply. The source of current
supplies a const ant current into the battery till its
voltage level reaches the required level allowing to
start the micro-controller (typically 3V ). The
current direction is from V
CHARGE
to V
BATT
.The
reverse leakage current when the swich is ON
must be null; this is obtained thanks t o an internal
circuitry that switch OFF the internal P-MOS when
the V
is higher than V
BATT
CHARGE
,whateverthe
status of the CMD -MO D E. The precharge function
is also used to adjust the mean current. When the
Page 5
ST3S01LED
battery is fully charged the current into the battery
has not to be more than C/25 (Nimh battery). In
order to perform finely this, the CMD-PWM pin
must be d riven with PWM funct ion (in the same
time, the CMD-MODE must be kept low). T he duty
cycle allows to adjust the mean current needed.
CHARGE MODE
TheCMD-MODEpin,whenhigh(andCMD-PWM
low), handles t he switch in charge mode. This
switch allows the battery charge with a strong
current. The drop of this internal P -Channel MOS
is very low (200mV @ 800mA ) in order to optimize
the efficiency of the charge.
The switch is not internally protected against short
circuit or overcurrent condition.
When the s witch is ON (CMD-MODE high and
CMD-PWM low), the current direction into the chip
is from V
CHARGE
to V
. The reverse current

obtained by mean of an internal circu itry that

, whatever the status of the

is
CMD-MODE. When the CMD-MODE pin is lo w or
in high impedance t he switch is OFF, while it is ON
when the signal on that pi n is high.
REVERSE MODE
When the reverse function i s selected by
CDM-REVERSE pin, the switch allows to supply
the accessories with a strong current. The drop of
the internal P-Channel MOS is very low (200mV
@ 800mA)and theswitchproperlywork for V
BATT
higher than 2.5V. This allows to supply energy on
the V
CHARGE
pin. When the switch is ON

, whatever the
BATT
status of the CMD-REVERSE. When the level of
CMD-REVERSE pin is low or in high impedance,
the switch is OFF, while it is ON when the signal
on CMD-REVERSE pin is high.
OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTION
This function allows to held the switches OFF
when the voltage level on V
is higher than a
BATT
maximum voltage whatever are the values of
CMD-PWM, CMD-MODE and CMD-REVERSE.
This maximum volt age is shown in the electrical
characteristic (typical threshold 5.7V). From the
moment in which the o.v.protection is activated, it
will be possible to turm ON again the switch only
when th e V
CHARGE
value decreases down to 2.5V
typically, it doesn't matter which operation mode is
selected. The protection works only when the
battery is in charge or precharge mode, i.e.
V
CHARGE>VBATT
.
This represent s, in fact, the typical application
condition where the battery could increase its
value, i.e. When charge or precharge mode are
used.
CHARGER DETECTION MODE
This function allows to generate a digital signal
(CHARGER-OK) to indicate if the V
voltage is higher than 2.5V and the revers e
function is inactive. This functionality allows to
determine if the charger is present or not; if t he
V
CHARGE
islowerthanthe2.5V,the
CHARGER-OK goes into high impedance (open
drain). When the reverse function is act ive, this
open drain have the V
