PIN DESCRIPTION
The descriptions of the pins are listed in
Table 3-1.
TABLE 3-1:
PIN FUNCTION TABLES
3.1
AC-Adapter Supply Input (VAC)
A supply voltage of VREG + 0.3V to 6V from ac-dc wall-
adapter is recommended. When both the AC-Adapter
and the USB-Port supply voltages are present at same
time, the AC-Adapter dominates the regulated charge
current with the maximum value of 1A. Bypass to VSS
with a minimum of 4.7 F is recommended.
3.2
USB-Port Supply Input (VUSB)
A supply voltage of VREG + 0.3V to 6V from USB-Port is
recommended. When no supply voltage from VAC pin is
available, the Li-Ion battery is charged directly from
USB-Port. Bypass to VSS with a minimum of 1 F is
recommended.
3.3
Charge Status Output 1 (STAT1)
STAT1 is an open-drain logic output for connection to a
LED for charge status indication. Alternatively, a pull-up
resistor can be applied for interfacing to a host micro-
controller.
3.4
Charge Status Output 2 (STAT2)
STAT2 is an open-drain logic output for connection to a
LED for charge status indication. Alternatively, a pull-up
resistor can be applied for interfacing to a host
microcontroller.
3.5
Battery Management 0V Reference
(VSS)
Connect to negative terminal of battery and input
supply.
3.6
Battery Charge Control Output
(VBAT)
Connect to the positive terminal of Li-Ion / Li-Polymer
batteries. Bypass to VSS with a minimum of 1 F to
ensure loop stability when the battery is disconnected.
3.7
AC-Adapter Current Regulation
Set (PROG1)
The AC-Adapter constant charge current is set by
placing a resistor from PROG1 to VSS. PROG1 is the
set point of precondition and termination when the AC-
Adapter is present.
PROG1 also functions as device charge control
enable. The MCP73837/8 is shut down when an
impedance value greater than 70 k
Ω is applied to
PROG1. When PROG1 is floating, the MCP73837/8
enters stand-by mode.

—
EP (Exposed Thermal Pad); There is an internal electrical
connection between the exposed thermal pad and VSS. The EP
must be connected to the same potential as the VSS pin on the
Printed Circuit Board (PCB).
