 Constant voltage: when the battery voltage reaches the regulated output voltage, the Battery Charger
IC starts to reduce the current until the charge termination is done. The charging process ends when
the charging current reaches the value configured by an external resistor or when the charging timer
reaches the factory set value.
Using a battery pack with an internal NTC resistor, the Battery Charger IC can monitor the battery
temperature to protect the battery from operating under unsafe thermal conditions.
The Battery Charger IC, as linear charger, is more suitable for applications where the charging source has a
relatively low nominal voltage (~5 V), so that a switching charger is suggested for applications where the
charging source has a relatively high nominal voltage (e.g. ~12 V, see section 2.2.1.7 for the specific design-
in).
