the charge cycle in two phases. While the pack is below
the regulation voltage, a constant-current phase replen-
ishes approximately 70% of battery capacity. An accu-
rate voltage-regulation phase completes the charge. The
DV2057/C/T/W terminate charge when the current ta-
pers off to the VTERM threshold.

General Description
The DV2057/C/T/W are complete development and
evaluation environments for bq2057 series advanced
Li-Ion linear charge management ICs. The DV2057 fam-
ily supports both single- and dual-cell Li-Ion packs with
coke or graphite anodes:

Full charge is preceded by charge qualification based on
battery temperature and voltage. The DV2057/C/T/W
suspend charge if the battery temperature is outside the
VTS1 to VTS2 thresholds and wait until the battery tem-
perature is within the allowed range. The
DV2057/C/T/W also check the battery voltage. If the bat-
tery voltage is below the low-voltage threshold, VMIN, the
DV2057/C/T/W use trickle charge to condition the bat-
tery. The conditioning charge rate, ICOND, is set at
