6.1

GND, AGND

The STBC03 ground pins.

6.2

NTC

The battery temperature monitoring pin. Connect the battery NTC thermistor to this pin.

The charging cycle stops when the battery temperature is outside of the safe temperature

range (0 °C to 45 °C). When the charging cycle is completed, the NTC pin goes to a high

impedance state, therefore the NTC thermistor can be also used, together with an external

circuitry, to monitor the battery temperature while it is being discharged. If the NTC

thermistor is not used, a 10 kΩ resistor must be connected to ensure proper IC operations.

6.4

BATMS, BATMS_EN

Battery voltage measurement. If BATMS_EN is high, the BATMS pin is internally shorted to

the BATSNS pin during normal conditions to monitor the battery voltage using external

components (µC and embedded ADC). The internal path from BATMS pin to the battery is

opened in case any of the following conditions occur: overcurrent, battery over-discharge,

shutdown mode, short-circuit on SYS or LDO. To minimize overall system power

consumption, this function must be disabled. BATMS_EN pin should be pulled low.
