Remark Refer to the “Battery Protection IC Connection Example”.
1. Normal Condition
2. Overcurrent Condition (Detection of Overcurrent 1, Overcurrent 2 and Load Short-circuiting)
3. Overcharge Condition
The S-8261 Series monitors the voltage of the battery connected between VDD pin and VSS pin and the
voltage difference between VM pin and VSS pin to control charging and discharging. When the battery
voltage is in the range from the overdischarge detection voltage (V
(V

condition is called the normal condition, and in this condition charging and discharging can be carried out
freely.
Remark When a battery is connected to the IC for the first time, discharging may not be enabled. In
When a battery in the normal status is in the status where the voltage of the VM pin is equal to or higher
than the overcurrent detection voltage because the discharge current is higher than the specified value
and the status lasts for the overcurrent detection delay time, the discharge control FET is turned off and
discharging is stopped. This status is called the overcurrent status.
In the overcurrent status, the VM and VSS pins are shorted by the resistor between VM and VSS (R
in the IC. However, the voltage of the VM pin is at the V

This IC detects the status when the impedance between the EB+ pin and EB− pin (Refer to Figure 11)

Remark The impedance that enables automatic restoration varies depending on the battery voltage and

longer, the S-8261 Series turns the charging control FET off to stop charging. This condition is called
the overcharge condition.
The overcharge condition is released by the following two cases ((1) and (2)):
(1) When the battery voltage falls below the overcharge release voltage (V
(2) When a load is connected and discharging starts, the S-8261 Series turns the charging control FET
