The resistors should have high values to make the additional power consumption negligible.
Moreover, the following constraints must be adhered to ensure the functionality of the chip:
Vchrdy + 0.05V < Vovch < 4.5V
•
Vovdis + 0.05V < Vchrdy < Vovch - 0.05V
•
2.2V < Vovdis
•
Vhv < Vovdis - 0.3V
•
For example, table 4 has two sets of resistor values to customise the charge management
threshold voltages to be different from the PMIC inbuilt options.

Output mode selection
APPEB1012 has two output modes, either directly connect the output to the supercapacitor or
have the PMIC handle the output based on charge management voltage thresholds This is
accomplished by placing the jumper link on the desired section of the 3-pin header labelled
OUTPUT, illustrated in figure 8 below.
