11.5 External Mode
The external mode is for charging higher capacity batteries using an external pass device. The current is controlled by
sinking a varying current into the CHG_EXT pin, and the current is determined by measuring the voltage drop across
a resistor, Rsense, connected in series with the external pass device, see Figure 11.2. The voltage drop is determined
by looking at the difference between the VBAT_SENSE and VBAT pins. The voltage drop across Rsense is typically
200mV. The value of the external series resistor determines the charger current. This current can be trimmed with a
PS Key.
In Figure 11.2, R1 (220mΩ) and C1 (4.7µF) form an RC snubber that is required to maintain stability across all battery
ESRs. The battery ESR must be <1.0Ω.
