4.1
An internal undervoltage lockout (UVLO) circuit
monitors the input voltage and keeps the charger in
shutdown mode until the input supply rises above the
UVLO threshold.
In the event a battery is present when the input power
is applied, the input supply must rise approximately
100 mV above the battery voltage before the
MCP73871 device become operational.
The UVLO circuit places the device in shutdown mode
if the input supply falls to approximately 100 mV of the
battery voltage.
The UVLO circuit is always active. At any time, the
input supply is below the UVLO threshold or approxi-
mately 100 mV of the voltage at the V
MCP73871 device is placed in a shutdown mode.
During any UVLO condition, the battery reverse
discharge current shall be less than 2 µA.
4.2
The system load sharing feature gives the system
priority on input power, allowing the system to power-
up with deeply depleted battery packs.
With the SEL input active Low, the MCP73871 device
is designed to provide system power and Li-Ion battery
charging from a USB input while adhering to the current
limits governed by the USB specification.
With the SEL input active High, the MCP73871 device
limits the total supply current to 1.8A (system power
and charge current combined).

For a charge cycle to begin, all UVLO conditions must
be met and a battery or output load must be present.
A charge current programming resistor must be
connected from PROG1 to V
When SEL = Low, PROG2 needs to tie to High or Low
for proper operation.
4.4
If the voltage at the V
tioning threshold, the MCP73871 device enters a pre-
conditioning mode. The preconditioning threshold is
factory set. Refer to Section 1.0 “Electrical Charac-
teristics” for preconditioning threshold options.
In this mode, the MCP73871 device supplies 10% of
the fast charge current (established with the value of
the resistor connected to the PROG1 pin) to the bat-
tery.
When the voltage at the V
preconditioning threshold, the MCP73871 device
enters the constant current (fast charge) mode.
4.5
During the constant current mode, the programmed
charge current is supplied to the battery or load. The
charge current is established using a single resistor
from PROG1 to V
charge current are calculated using the following
equation:
EQUATION 4-1:
Constant current mode is maintained until the voltage
at the V
When constant current mode is invoked, the internal
timer is reset.
4.5.1
If the internal timer expires before the recharge voltage
threshold is reached, a timer fault is indicated and the
charge cycle terminates. The MCP73871 device
remains in this condition until the battery is removed. If
the battery is removed, the MCP73871 device enters
the Stand-by mode where it remains until a battery is
reinserted.
