5- to 10-Cell Li+ Protector with Cell Balancing
The DS2726 provides full charge and discharge protection
for 5- to 10-cell lithium-ion (Li+) battery packs. The protection circuit monitors individual cell voltages to detect overvoltage and undervoltage conditions. Protection against
discharge overcurrent and short-circuit current is provided
with user-selectable thresholds using external resistors.
P-channel protection FETs are employed high side and
driven from on-chip 10V FET drivers. Cell balancing can
be enabled to ensure that all cells are equally charged.

5- to 10-Cell Li+ Protector with Cell Balancing
The DS2726 provides the protection features for a
5-cell to 10-cell Li+ battery pack. The Li+ protection circuit allows for pin-configured selection of OV threshold
and the cell-balancing threshold. DOC and SC thresholds and delays are component programmable.
Sleep Mode
Sleep Mode is a low-power state where the FETs are
open and the IC is not monitoring voltages. During
Wake Mode, the IC measures voltages and drives the
FETs to the appropriate state.
Upon initial connection to cells, the DS2726 enters
Sleep Mode. The IC also enters Sleep Mode if a UV
condition is detected. Sleep Mode can be initiated any
time by pulling the SLEEP pin low while a chargerdetect condition does not exist. During Sleep Mode
there is a pulldown current from PKP to GND.
VPKP must be within VTP of VVIN (VPKP > VVIN - VTP) to
exit wake from Sleep Mode.
When a charger is detected and VCC achieves regulation, the part measures all cells for undervoltage and
overvoltage. Then the IC begins controlling the CC and
DC FETs as shown in Table 1. Care should be taken to
ensure that the SLEEP pin is not held low during a wake
condition.
Charger Detect
The DS2726 has two different methods for detecting a
charger connection. The methods are pin programmable at the CBCFG pin. If CBCFG is pulled to GND, then
charge detection occurs when VPKP > VVIN + VCDET. If
CBCFG is pulled to VCC, then charge detection occurs
when the SLEEP pin is driven to a logic-high state.
Li+ Protection Circuitry
In Active Mode, the DS2726 constantly monitors V00–
V10 to protect the battery from overvoltage and undervoltage. The voltage on the SNS pin is monitored and
compared to the voltages on RDOC and RSC to protect
against excessive discharge currents (discharge overcurrent and short circuit). Table 1 summarizes the conditions that activate the protection circuit, the response
of the DS2726, and the thresholds that release it from a
protection state.

Detailed Description
DS2726
5- to 10-Cell Li+ Protector with Cell Balancing
Li+ Protection Conditions
Overvoltage, OV. If any cell voltage (VCELL) exceeds
the overvoltage threshold, VOV, for a period longer than
overvoltage delay, t OVD , the DS2726 shuts off the
external charge FET. When V CELL falls below the
charge-enable threshold VCE, the DS2726 turns the
charge FET on. The discharge FET remains enabled
during the overvoltage event. Care should be taken
while discharging during an OV condition because the
current drawn by the load is going through the body
diode of the CC FET.
Undervoltage, UV. If VCELL drops below the undervoltage threshold, VUV, for a period longer than undervoltage delay, tUVD, the DS2726 shuts off the charge and
discharge FETs and enters Sleep Mode. The device
remains in Sleep Mode until a charger is detected, at
which point the DS2726 wakes up and enables the CC
FET. The DC FET remains disabled until every cell is
above the VUV_REL threshold. Care should be taken
while charging during a UV event because the charge
current is flowing through the body diode of the DC FET.
Discharge Overcurrent, DOC. If V SNS is less than
VRDOC for a period longer than tDOCD, the DS2726
shuts off the external discharge FET. The discharge
current path is not reestablished until VPKP rises above
VVIN - VTP. The DS2726 provides a test current of value
I TST from the PKP pin to the V IN pin to detect the
removal of the offending low-impedance load. ITST is
not disabled if an undervoltage condition is reached.
Short Circuit, SC. If VSNS is less than VRSC for a period longer than short-circuit delay tSCD, the DS2726
shuts off the external discharge FET. The discharge
current path is not reestablished until VPKP rises above
VVIN - VTP. The DS2726 provides a test current of value
I TST from the PKP pin to the V IN pin to detect the
removal of the short. ITST is disabled if an undervoltage
condition is reached.

Figure 4. Cell Bypassing Connection
Configuration for Number of Cells
for battery stacks with fewer than 10 cells should be
shorted to the cell connection below it. For example, a
stack with 9 cells would have V9 shorted to V8 and V8
connected to the positive terminal of the 8th cell; a
stack with 8 cells would have V9 shorted to V8 shorted
to V7 and V7 connected to the positive terminal of the
7th cell, and so on (see Figure 4).
The DS2726 protects 5 to 10 Li+-based cells connected in series. The number of cells is configured using
the SEL0 and SEL1 pins according to Table 2.
Pin V10 should always be connected to the positive terminal of the battery stack regardless of the number of
cells in the stack. Cell connections that are not in use

DS2726
5- to 10-Cell Li+ Protector with Cell Balancing
Configuration of Overvoltage
Threshold
ancing voltage is never allowed a value below 3.75V.
Setting the OVS0, OVS1, CBS0, and CBS1 pins high
results in a cell-balancing voltage (VBAL) of 3.75V.
Nominal Cell-Balancing Voltage:
VBAL = VOV – Cell-Balancing Voltage Threshold
The DS2726 allows the OV threshold to be set using the
overvoltage select pins. The OV threshold is configured
using the OVS0 and OVS1 pins according to Table 3.
Balancing begins when any cell’s voltage is greater
than VBAL. When the balancing condition is met and
cell balancing is enabled, the corresponding internal
FET (from Vx to Vx-1) is enabled, shunting a portion of
the charge current around the cell. The external resistors on V00–V10 should be chosen to limit the balancing current to a maximum of 200mA. This prevents
damaging the internal cell-balancing FETs.
Enabling Cell Balancing
For cell balancing to begin the DS2726 must detect a
charger. The charge-balancing configuration pin
(CBCFG) controls how the IC detects a charger. If
CBCFG is pulled to GND, balancing is enabled when
the charge-current comparator detects a charger. This
detection occurs when VPKP > VVIN + VCDET. If CBCFG
is pulled to VCC, cell balancing is enabled when the
SLEEP pin is driven to a logic-high state. Note that cell
balancing must be enabled and a valid cell-balancing
voltage must exist for cell balancing to occur.
The DS2726 has three distinct states during balancing.
A voltage measurement state of 5/32 tOCD time periods
is followed by a balancing state where even numbered
cells are balanced for 123/32 t OCD time periods.
Another voltage measurement state of 5/32 tOCD time
periods then occurs. This is followed by a balancing
state where odd numbered cells are balanced for
123/32 tOCD time periods. This gives an average balancing current of approximately half the maximum balance current. Cell balancing terminates when all cell
voltages are greater than VBAL. See the Measurement
Sequence section.
Configuration of Cell Balancing
Voltage Threshold
The DS2726 allows the cell-balancing threshold to be set
using the cell-balance select pins. The threshold is configured using the CBS0 and CBS1 pins according to Table 4.
Setting the cell-balancing voltage threshold to zero disables the cell-balancing circuitry. The nominal cell-bal-

5- to 10-Cell Li+ Protector with Cell Balancing
The DS2726 allows the selection of a short-circuit current threshold. This threshold is set using a resistor
from the RSC pin to the positive terminal of the cell
stack. The RSC pin sinks 1µA (nominal). The short-circuit comparator triggers when the voltage on the SNS
pin is less than the voltage on the RSC pin. For example, assume a 500kΩ resistor is used on RSC, along
with a DC FET with an RDS_ON of 10mΩ. This corresponds to an RSC voltage of 500kΩ x 1µA = 0.5V.
Because the FET is 10mΩ, the short-circuit threshold is
0.5V/10mΩ = 50A:
I SC =
1µA × RSC
R DS _ ON
The DS2726 allows for a delayed reaction to a short-circuit event. The short threshold must persist for the
entire delay time before the DC FET begins to turn off
(actual turn-off time varies based on the gate capacitance of the DC FET; see the DC pin drive capabilities
in the DC Electrical Characteristics table for more
details). The short-circuit delay time is set using a
capacitor on the CSCD pin. The short-circuit delay time
can be calculated by the equation:
tSCD = CSCD x 500kΩ
Be sure to select threshold and delay times that fall
within the safe operating area of the FETs chosen for
DC and CC.
Setting the Discharge
Overcurrent Threshold
and Delay Time
The DS2726 allows the selection of a discharge overcurrent threshold. This threshold is set using a resistor
from the RDOC pin to the positive terminal of the cell
stack. The RDOC pin sinks 1µA (nominal). The overcur-
rent circuit comparator triggers when the voltage on the
SNS pin is less than the voltage on the RDOC pin. For
example, assume a 200kΩ resistor is used on RDOC,
along with a DC FET with an RDS_ON of 10mΩ. This
corresponds to a voltage on RDOC of 200kΩ x 1µA =
0.2V. Because the FET is 10mΩ, the discharge overcurrent threshold is 0.2V/10mΩ = 20A:
IDOC =
1µA × RDOC
R DS _ ON
The DS2726 allows for a delayed reaction to a discharge overcurrent event. The discharge overcurrent
threshold must persist for the entire delay time before
the DC FET begins to turn off (actual turn-off time varies
based on the gate capacitance of the DC FET; see DC
pin drive capabilities in the DC Electrical
Characteristics table for more details). The discharge
overcurrent delay time is set using a capacitor on the
CDOCD pin. The discharge overcurrent delay can be
calculated by the equation:
tDOCD = CDOCD x 32MΩ
Be sure to select threshold and delay times that fall
within the safe operating area for the FETs chosen for
DC and CC.
If the voltage on the CDOCD pin is within approximately
1V of VCC or GND, the condition is considered to be a
fault, and the CC and DC outputs are disabled. This
results in a delay before enabling the FETs when the
part awakens from Sleep Mode. This delay occurs until
the voltage on CDOCD reaches an acceptable level.
This is a function of the capacitor on CDOCD. The
CDOCD startup delay is in addition to a typical regulator
startup of 100µs, and is given by the equation:
STARTUP DELAY ≈ 100µs + CDOCD x 1.65MΩ
Be sure to select threshold and delay times that fall
within the safe operating area for the FETs chosen for
DC and CC.

Measurement Sequence
The period with which the DS2726 measures voltages
is a function of the discharge overcurrent delay time,
tDOCD. Figure 5 illustrates the measurement sequence.
One measurement period: 4 x tDOCD
VUV, VUV_REL, VCE, VOV, and VBAL are measured
for all cells: 5 x tDOCD/32
Chip performs balancing on even cells: 123 x tDOCD/32
One measurement period: 4 x tDOCD
VUV, VUV_REL, VCE, VOV, and VBAL are measured
for all cells: 5 x tDOCD/32
Chip performs balancing on odd cells: 123 x tDOCD/32
One cell-balancing period: 8 x tDOCD
Overvoltage and Undervoltage
Delay Time
Cell voltages are measured simultaneously and then
sequentially compared to each of the five thresholds
VUV, VUV_REL, VCE, VOV, and VBAL. This sequence is
repeated every four tDOCD intervals. Overvoltage and
undervoltage conditions are time qualified and therefore not recognized immediately. If an overvoltage condition exists on any cell for 32 intervals consecutively
(tOVD = 4 x 32 x tDOCD = 128 x tDOCD), an overvoltage
condition is recognized, and the CC FET is turned off. If
an undervoltage condition exists on any cell for 32
intervals consecutively (tUVD = 4 x 32 x tDOCD = 128 x
tDOCD) an undervoltage condition is recognized, the
CC and DC FETs are turned off, and Sleep Mode is
entered.
