regisTer DescripTions
ctl_reg
(0x17)
Control Register: Several Control Functions are grouped into this register.
BIT(S)
BIT NAME
DESCRIPTION
0
ctl_strt_capesr
Begin a capacitance and ESR measurement when possible; this bit clears itself
once a cycle begins.
1
ctl_gpi_buffer_en
A one in this bit location enables the input buffer on the GPI pin. With a zero in this
location the GPI pin is measured without the buffer.
2
ctl_stop_capesr
Stops an active capacitance/ESR measurement.
3
ctl_cap_scale
Increases capacitor measurement resolution by 100x, this is used when measuring
smaller capacitors.

num_caps
(0x1A)
Number of Capacitors: This register shows the state of the CAP_SLCT1, CAP_SLCT0 pins. The value read in this register is the number of capacitors
programmed minus one.

chrg_status
(0x1B)
Charger Status Register: This register provides real time status information about the state of the charger system. Each bit is active high.
