The maximum current that can be drained from the ON# pad is 0,1 mA. A simple circuit to do it is: ON# R1 Q1 Power ON impulse R2 GND NOTE: don't use any pull up resistor on the ON# line, it is internally pulled up. Using pull up resistor may bring to latch up proble

Using pull up resistor may bring to latch up problems on the GE863-QUAD/PY power regulator and improper functioning of the module. The line RESET# must be connected only in open collector configuration. TIP: The unconditional hardware reboot should be always implemented on the boards and software should use it as an emergency exit

GE863-QUAD GE863-PY 1vv0300715 Rev. 1 - 19/09/06 As you can see, the charging process is not a trivial task to be done; moreover all these operations should start only if battery temperature is inside a charging range, usually 5°C - 45°C. The GE863-QUAD/PY measures the temperature of its internal component, in order to satisfy this last requirement, it's not exactly the same as the battery temperature but in common application the two temperature should not differ too mu
