Fast Charge Constant-Current 
Mode
During the Constant-Current mode, the programmed
charge current is supplied to the battery or load. The
charge current is established using a single resistor
from PROG to V
SS
. Constant-Current mode is
maintained until the voltage at the V
BAT
 pin reaches the
regulation voltage, V
REG
.
4.6
Constant-Voltage Mode
When the voltage at the V
BAT
 pin reaches the
regulation voltage, V
REG
, constant voltage regulation
begins. The regulation voltage is factory set to 4.2V,
4.35V, 4.40V or 4.50V with a tolerance of ±0.75%.
4.7
Charge Termination
The charge cycle is terminated when, during Constant-
Voltage mode, the average charge current diminishes
below a percentage of the programmed charge current
(established with the value of the resistor connected to
the PROG pin). A 1 ms filter time on the termination
comparator ensures that transient load conditions do
not result in premature charge cycle termination. The
percentage or ratio of the current is factory set. Refer to
 for charge
termination current options and the 
 for standard options.
The charge current is latched off and the MCP73831/2
enter a Charge Complete mode.
4.8
Automatic Recharge
The MCP73831/2 continuously monitor the voltage at
the V
BAT
 pin in the Charge Complete mode. If the
voltage drops below the recharge threshold, another
charge cycle begins and current is once again supplied
to the battery or load. The recharge threshold is factory
set. Refer to 
for recharge threshold options and the 
 for standard options.
4.9
Thermal Regulation
The MCP73831/2 limit the charge current based on the
die temperature. The thermal regulation optimizes the
charge cycle time while maintaining device reliability.

Thermal Shutdown
The MCP73831/2 suspend charge if the die tempera-
ture exceeds 150°C. Charging will resume when the
die temperature has cooled by approximately 10°C.
