voltage regulation phase
The voltage regulation feedback is through the BAT pin. This input is tied directly to the positive side of the
battery pack. The bq2057 monitors the battery-pack voltage between the BAT and VSS pins. The bq2057 is
offered in four fixed-voltage versions: 4.1 V, 4.2 V, 8.2 V and 8.4 V.
Other regulation voltages can be achieved by adding a voltage divider between the positive and negative
terminals of the battery pack and using bq2057T or bq2057W. The voltage divider presents scaled battery-pack
voltage to BAT input. (See Figure 7 and Figure 8.) The resistor values RB1 and RB2 for the voltage divider are
calculated by the following equation:
