3. Overdischarge Status
When the battery voltage falls below overdischarge detection voltage (VDL) during discharging in the normal status
and the detection continues for the overdischarge detection delay time (tDL) or longer, the S-8211C Series turns the
discharging control FET off to stop discharging. This condition is called the overdischarge status. Under the
overdischarge status, the VM pin voltage is pulled up by the resistor between the VM pin and VDD pin in the IC
(RVMD). When voltage difference between the VM pin and VDD pin then is 1.3 V (Typ.) or lower, the current
consumption is reduced to the power-down current consumption (IPDN). This condition is called the power-down
status.
The resistance (RVMS) between the VM pin and VSS pin is not connected in the power-down status and the
overdischarge status.
The power-down status is released when a charger is connected and the voltage difference between the VM pin and
VDD pin becomes 1.3 V (typ.) or higher.
When a battery in the overdischarge status is connected to a charger and provided that the VM pin voltage is lower
than -0.7 V (Typ.), the S-8211C Series releases the overdischarge status and turns the discharging FET on when the
battery voltage reaches overdischarge detection voltage (VDL) or higher.
When a battery in the overdischarge status is connected to a charger and provided that the VM pin voltage is not
lower than -0.7 V (Typ.), the S-8211C Series releases the overdischarge status when the battery voltage reaches
overdischarge release voltage (VDU) or higher.
4. Discharge Overcurrent Status (Discharge Overcurrent, Load Short-circuiting)
When a battery in the normal status is in the status where the voltage of the VM pin is equal to or higher than the
discharge overcurrent detection voltage because the discharge current is higher than the specified value and the
status lasts for the discharge overcurrent detection delay time, the discharge control FET is turned off and
discharging is stopped. This status is called the discharge overcurrent status.
In the discharge overcurrent status, the VM pin and VSS pin are shorted by the resistor between VM pin and VSS pin
(RVMS) in the IC. However, the voltage of the VM pin is at the VDD potential due to the load as long as the load is
connected. When the load is disconnected, the VM pin returns to the VSS potential.
This IC detects the status when the impedance between the EB+ pin and EB− pin (Refer to the Figure 14) increases
and is equal to the impedance that enables automatic restoration and the voltage at the VM pin returns to discharge
overcurrent detection voltage (VDIOV) or lower, the discharge overcurrent status is restored to the normal status.
Even if the connected impedance is smaller than automatic restoration level, the S-8211C Series will be restored to
the normal status from discharge overcurrent detection status when the voltage at the VM pin becomes the discharge
overcurrent detection voltage (VDIOV) or lower by connecting the charger.
The resistance (RVMD) between the VM pin and VDD pin is not connected in the discharge overcurrent detection
status.
