Power
supply
GND
1 Tx, peak current 577µs every 4.616ms
2 Tx, peak current 1154µs every 4.616ms
Power supply input.
5 BATT+ pins to be
connected in parallel.
5 GND pins to be
connected in parallel.
The power supply must be
able to meet the
requirements of current
consumption in a Tx burst
(up to 2A).
Sending with two timeslots
doubles the duration of
current pulses to 1154µs
(every 4.616ms)!

This line signalises to the
processor that the charger
is connected.
If unused keep pin open.
BATT_TEMP I
Connect NTC with R
NTC
10kΩ @ 25°C to
ground.
Input to measure the
battery temperature over
NTC resistor.
NTC should be installed
inside or near battery pack
to enable the charging
algorithm and deliver
temperature values.
If unused keep pin open.

This line is a current source
for the charge FET with a
10kΩ resistance between
gate and source.
If unused keep pin open.

Supply voltage, e.g. for an
external LED or level
shifter. The external digital
logic must not cause any
spikes or glitches on
voltage VDD.
Not available in POWER
DOWN mode.
VDD signalises the “ON”
state of the module.
If unused VDD keep pin
open.
