to be tied to MODE pin if the charge circuit works in
a noisy environment). When the MODE pin is
biased to GND, the function of -
V detection is
disabled. When the MODE pin is biased to VCC,
the AIC1781 enters the test mode. The test mode
can be used to significantly reduce production test
time. For relevant informations please contact AIC
directly.

The Mode of LED Display and Trickle Charge
The AIC1781 provides two LED display modes
and five-pulsed trickle charge modes. The tri-level
inputs, SEL1 and SEL2 pins, as in the TABLE 6
determine the modes of LED display and trickle
charge.

Display the Battery Charging Status
The AIC1781 provides two open-drained outputs,
LED1 and LED2, to indicate the battery charging
status. Refer to the table of LED display mode
(TABLE 6), depending on the setting of SEL1 and
SEL2 pins, the outputs of LED1 and LED2 pins
are shown in the following table:

Charging Current Control
As shown in the typical application circuit, the
AIC1781 offers an open-drained output pin, ICON
pin, to control the charging current flow in fast
charge state and switch on to inhibit the charging
current flow in fault conditions. When fast charge is
completed, the AIC1781 enters the trickle charge
mode. In trickle charge mode, the ICON pin output
switches with predetermined duty cycle. Refer to
the table of trickle charge mode (TABLE 6), the duty
cycle is determined by the setting of SEL1 and
SEL2 pins. The following table summarizes how
ICON pin corresponds to various charging states.
