Use a 10kΩ pulldown resistor to ground on SELI, loop (Figure 1). Use the SELV input to set the battery if necessary, to ensure that the MAX1811 defaults to the regulation voltage to a 4.1V or 4.2V single Li+ cell. The 100mA mode in the event that no logic signal is present. current and thermal loops are internally compensated and Drive SELI high to increase the charge current to the require no external compensation. The outputs from all 500mA mode only if the polled USB port can provide the loops drive an internal linear regulator.

The CHG output indicates loop active. This is not a fault condition and can be used whether the part is in current mode (CHG = low) or continuously.
