APPLICATION INFORMATION
charge inhibit function
The TS pin can be used as charge-inhibit input. The user can inhibit charge by connecting the TS pin to VCC
or VSS (or any level outside the V
(TS1)
to V
(TS2)
thresholds). Applying a voltage between the V
(TS1)
and V
(TS2)
thresholds to pin TS returns the charger to normal operation.
charge status indication
The bq2057 reports the status of the charger on the 3-state STAT pin. The following table summarized the
operation of the STAT pin.
CONDITION STAT PIN
Battery conditioning and charging High
Charge complete (Done) Low
Temperature fault or sleep mode Hi-Z
The STAT pin can be used to drive a single LED (Figure 1), dual-chip LEDs (Figure 4) or for interface to a host
or system processor (Figure 11). When interfacing the bq2057 to a processor, the user can use an output port,
as shown in Figure 11, to recognize the high-Z state of the STAT pin. In this configuration, the user needs to
read the input pin, toggle the output port and read the STAT pin again. In a high-Z condition, the input port always
matches the signal level on the output port.

low-power sleep mode
The bq2057 enters the sleep mode if the VCC falls below the voltage at the BAT input. This feature prevents
draining the battery pack during the absence of VCC.
