DS2715: NiMH Battery Pack Charge Controller
as a discharge path to the load. Hysteresis on the comparator input provides the difference between the ON and
OFF state thresholds. In a closed-loop regulation circuit, the comparator regulates voltage across the sense
resistor as referenced to the SNS pins to a DC average of:
VSNS = VFC + 0.5 x VHYS-FC = -0.107V during FAST-CHARGE
VSNS = VTO + 0.5 x VHYS-TO = -0.029V during TOPOFF
