To set the charge current, write a 16-bit ChargeCurrent() command (REG0x03/02h()) using the data format listed in Figure 9-21, Table 9-23, and Table 9-24. With 10-mΩ sense resistor, the charger provides charge current range of 64 mA to 8.128 A, with a 64-mA step resolution. Upon POR, when auto wakeup is not active, ChargeCurrent() is 0 A. Any conditions for CHRG_OK low except ACOV will reset ChargeCurrent() to zero. CELL_BATPRESZ going LOW (battery removal) will reset the ChargeCurrent() register to 0 A. Charge current is not reset in ACOC, TSHUT, power path latch off (REG0x30[1]), and SYSOVP. A 0.1-µF capacitor between SRP and SRN for differential mode filtering is recommended; an optional 0.1-µF capacitor between SRN and ground, and an optional 0.1-µF capacitor between SRP and ground for common mode filtering. Meanwhile, the capacitance on SRP should not be higher than 0.1 µF in order to properly sense the voltage across SRP and SRN for cycle-by-cycle current detection. The SRP and SRN pins are used to sense voltage drop across RSR with default value of 10 mΩ. However, resistors of other values can also be used. For a larger sense resistor, a larger sense voltage is given, and a higher regulation accuracy; but, at the expense of higher conduction loss. A current sensing resistor value no more than 20 mΩ is suggested.
