The timer enable (TE) feature is used to enable or dis-
able the internal timer. A low signal on this pin enables
the internal timer and a high signal disables the internal
timer. The TE input can be used to disable the timer
when the system load is substantially limiting the
available supply current to charge the battery. The TE
input is compatible with 1.8V logic.
3.15
The MCP73871 device continuously monitor battery
temperature during a charge cycle by measuring the
voltage between the THERM and V
50 µA current source provides the bias for most
common
thermistors (NTC). The MCP73871 device compares
the voltage at the THERM pin to factory set thresholds
of 1.24V and 0.25V, typically. Once a voltage outside
the thresholds is detected during a charge cycle, the
MCP73871 device immediately suspends the charge
cycle. The charge cycle resumes when the voltage at
the THERM pin returns to the normal range. The
charge temperature window can be set by placing fixed
value resistors in series-parallel with a thermistor.
Refer to Section 6.0 “Applications” for calculations
of resistance values.
3.16
With the CE input Low, the Li-Ion battery charger
feature of the MCP73871 will be disabled. The charger
feature is enabled when CE is active High. Allowing the
CE pin to float during the charge cycle may cause
system instability. The CE input is compatible with 1.8V
logic. Refer to Section 6.0 “Applications” for various
applications in designing with CE features.
