Figure 2: Battery current monitoring
A small percentage of charge current is sensed and
sinked into a resistor connected at pin ICST. In
charge mode, this would allow user to set fast
charge current based on the following equation.
Figure 3: LED threshold setting
The following equation shows how the external
resistor shifts the LED thresholds. The range of
LED1‐LED4 indicator threshold shift from 5.5V‐
8.8V.

During discharge mode, inputs of battery current
sense amp are flipped to sense discharge current,
and voltage level at pin ICST can be used (by the
system) to monitor the magnitude of discharge
current based on the following equation.
LED Hysteresis Window Setting
The adjustable LED voltage thresholds are set for
HZ mode. In charge mode, the measured battery
voltage is higher than in HZ mode, while in
discharge mode, the measured battery voltage is
lower. To have relatively better “fuel gauge” for
battery, a programmable hysteresis window will
help. When the battery voltage goes up (in charge
mode), the thresholds become higher, when the
battery voltage goes down, lower thresholds are
applied.

For example: VICST=0.4V with I_DISCHARGE=1A,
and RICST=8kΩ.
LED Threshold Setting
ACT2803 provide HYST pin to set hysteresis
window for each indication level as shows in Figure
3 .
LED1, LED2, LED3 and LED4 thresholds are
adjustable with external resistors RLS1, RLS2, RLS3
,
and RLS4 connected from LEDLS1, LEDLS2,
