Please note that the reference voltages listed in Table 17 are the values measured directly
on the TC63 module. They do not apply to the accessories connected.

BATT+ I
n Tx = n x 577µs peak current every
4.616ms
Five pins of BATT+ and GND
must be connected in parallel
for supply purposes because
higher peak currents may
occur.
Minimum voltage must not fall
below 3.2V including drop,
ripple, spikes.

Battery temperature
measurement via NTC
resistance.
NTC should be installed
inside or near battery pack to
enable proper charging and
deliver temperature values.
If unused keep pin open.

ISENSE is required for
measuring the charge current.
For this purpose, a shunt
resistor for current
measurement needs to be
connected between ISENSE
and VSENSE.
If unused connect pin to
VSENSE.
VSENSE I

I
max = 4.5V
VSENSE must be directly
