Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

Note 1:
The MAX712/MAX713 are powered from the V+ pin. Since V+ shunt regulates to +5V, R1 must be small enough to allow at
least 5mA of current into the V+ pin.

Offset voltage of THI and TLO comparators referred to TEMP.
Note 3:

is the A/D sampling interval (Table 3).
Note 4:
This specification can be violated when attempting to charge more or fewer cells than the number programmed. To ensure
proper voltage-slope fast-charge termination, the (maximum battery voltage) ÷ (number of cells programmed) must fall
within the A/D input range.

NAME
VLIMIT
BATT+
FUNCTION
Sets the maximum cell voltage. The battery terminal voltage (BATT+ - BATT-) will not exceed VLIMIT x
(number of cells). Do not allow VLIMIT to exceed 2.5V. Connect VLIMIT to VREF for normal operation.
Alternatively, connect VLIMIT to V+ to set the maximum cell voltage to an internally preset 1.65V/cell.
Positive terminal of battery
PGM0 and PGM1 set the number of series cells to be charged. The number of cells can be set from
1 to 16 by connecting PGM0 and PGM1 to any of V+, REF, or BATT-, or by leaving the pin unconnected
(Table 2). For cell counts greater than 11, see the
Linear-Mode, High Series Cell Count
section.
Charging more or fewer cells than the number programmed may inhibit
ΔV
fast-charge termination.
Trip point for the over-temperature comparator. If the voltage-on TEMP rises above THI, fast charge ends.
Trip point for the under-temperature comparator. If the MAX712/MAX713 power on with the voltage-
on TEMP less than TLO, fast charge is inhibited and will not start until TEMP rises above TLO.
Sense input for temperature-dependent voltage from thermistors.
Open-drain, fast-charge status output. While the MAX712/MAX713 fast charge the battery,
FASTCHG
sinks current. When charge ends and trickle charge begins,
FASTCHG
stops sinking current.
PGM2 and PGM3 set the maximum time allowed for fast charging. Timeouts from 33 minutes to 264
minutes can be set by connecting to any of V+, REF, or BATT-, or by leaving the pin unconnected
(Table 3). PGM3 also sets the fast-charge to trickle-charge current ratio (Table 5).
Compensation input for constant current regulation loop
Negative terminal of battery
System ground. The resistor placed between BATT- and GND monitors the current into the battery.
Current sink for driving the external PNP current source
Shunt regulator. The voltage on V+ is regulated to +5V with respect to BATT-, and the shunt current
