Overcurrent Protection
In addition to monitoring the battery cell voltages, the X3102
continually monitors the voltage VCS
across the current sense resistor (R
for a time exceeding T
protection mode (Figure 7). In this mode, the X3102
automatically switches the discharge FET OFF (UVP/OCP =
Vcc) and hence prevent current from flowing through the
terminals P+ and P-.

Once the device enters overcurrent protection mode, the
X3102 begin a load monitor state. In the load monitor state, a
small current (I

resistance is the impedance seen looking out of pin OVP/

overcurrent protection mode. The discharge FET is then
automatically switched ON (UVP/OCP = Vss) by the X3102,
unless the status of UVP/OCP has been changed in control
register (by manipulating bit UVPC) during the overcurrent
protection mode.

Note: If the Charge FET is turned off, due to an overcharge
condition or by direct command from the microcontroller, the
cells are not in an undervoltage condition and the pack has a
load, then excessive current may flow through Q10 and
diode D1. To eliminate this effect, the gate of Q10 can be
turned off by the microcontroller.
