NAME
FUNCTION
 1
 ASNS
 Adapter Voltage Sense. When V
ASNS
 > V
BATT
 - 280mV, the battery switch is turned off and the adapter switch
is turned on. Connect to the adapter input using an RC filter as shown in Figure 1.
 2  LDO
 Linear-Regulator Output. LDO is the output of the 5.35V linear regulator supplied from SRC. Bypass LDO with
a 1µF ceramic capacitor from LDO to GND.
 3
 SWREF
 3.3V Switched Reference. SWREF is a 1% accurate linear regulator that can deliver 20mA. SWREF remains
active when the adapter is absent and may be disabled by setting REFON to zero. Bypass SWREF with a 1µF
capacitor to GND.
 4  REF  4.2V Voltage Reference. Bypass REF with a 1µF capacitor to GND.
 5  CLS  Source Current-Limit Input. Voltage input for setting the current limit of the input source.
 6
 ACIN
 AC-Adapter-Detect Input. ACIN is the input to an uncommitted comparator. ACIN does not influence adapter
and battery selection.
 7
 VCTL
 Charge-Voltage-Control Input. Connect VCTL to LDO for default 4.2V/cell.
 8
 RELTH
 Relearn Threshold for Relearn Mode. In relearn mode, when V
BATT
 < 5 x V
RELTH
, the MAX8730 drives PDS
low and drives PDL high to terminate relearning of a discharged battery. See the Relearn Mode section for
more details.
 9
 ACOK
 AC Detect Output. This open-drain output pulls low when ACIN is greater than REF/2 and ASNS is greater
than BATT - 100mV. The ACOK output is high impedance when the MAX8730 is powered down. Connect a
10kΩ pullup resistor from LDO to ACOK.
 10
  MODE
 Tri-Level Input for Setting Number of Cells or Asserting the Conditioning Mode:
MODE = GND; asserts relearn mode.
MODE = Float; charge with 3 times the cell voltage programmed at VCTL.
MODE = LDO; charge with 4 times the cell voltage programmed at VCTL.
 11  IINP
 Input-Current-Monitor Output. IINP sources the current proportional to the current sensed across CSSP and
CSSN. The transconductance from (CSSP – CSSN) to IINP is 2.8µA/mV (typ).
 12  ICTL  Charge-Current-Control Input. Pull ICTL to GND to shut down the charger.
 13
 REFON
 SWREF Enable. Drive REFON high to enable SWREF.
 14
 INPON
 Input Current-Monitor Enable. Drive INPON high to enable IINP.
 15  CCI  Output Current-Regulation Loop Compensation Point. Connect a 0.01µF capacitor from CCS to GND.
 16  CCV  V ol tag e- Reg ul ati on Loop  C om p ensati on P oi nt. C onnect a 10kΩ  r esi stor  i n ser i es w i th a 0.01µF cap aci tor  to G N D .
 17  CCS  Input Current-Regulation Loop Compensation Point. Connect a 0.01µF capacitor from CCS to GND.
 18  GND  Analog Ground
 19
 BATT
 Battery-Voltage Feedback Input
 20
 CSIN
 Charge-Current-Sense Negative Input
 21  CSIP  Charge-Current-Sense Positive Input. Connect a current-sense resistor from CSIP to CSIN.
 22
 DHIV
 High-Side Driver Supply. Connect a 0.1µF capacitor from DHIV to CSSN.
 23  DHI  High-Side Power MOSFET Driver Output. Connect to high-side, p-channel MOSFET gate.
 24  SRC
 DC Supply Input Voltage and Connection for Driver for PDS/PDL Switches. Bypass SRC to power ground with
a 1µF capacitor.
 25
 CSSN
 Input Current Sense for Negative Input
 26
 CSSP
 Input Current Sense for Positive Input. Connect a 15mΩ current-sense resistor from CSSP to CSSN.
 27  PDS
 Power-Source PMOS Switch Driver Output. When the adapter is absent, the PDS output is pulled to SRC
through an internal 1MΩ resistor.
 28  PDL
 System-Load PMOS Switch Driver Output. When the adapter is absent, the PDL output is pulled to ground
through an internal 100kΩ resistor.
 29
 Backside
Paddle
 Backside Paddle. Connect the backside paddle to analog ground.
