b) I
THRM
current is due to SafetySignal (thermistor pin)
sampling that will vary with the presence of DC power
being on or off. DCDIV is detected every 32ms. RTHX
is the value of the safety signal resistance, which will
vary with temperature or battery confi guration.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
c) I
ACCEL
is the current used by the SMBus accelerators.
This directly depends on the SMBus frequency, duty
cycle of messages sent on the SMBus and how long
it takes to drive the SMBus to V
