Charge and sense
OUT and BAT meet at the pack. BAT is the feedback sense and OUT supplies the charge current.
The BQ24010 charges a 4.2 V lithium-ion or lithium-polymer cell. OUT delivers current to the pack, while the BAT lead senses the pack voltage.

| 5 | VSS Return | Return | Supply and battery return. Connect to ground along with the exposed pad. |
| 6 | ISET Current-setting node | Current-setting node | A resistor to VSS sets the charge-current scale. |
| 7 | PG Output | Output | Open-collector power-good output. |
| 8 | TS Input | Input | Battery temperature comparator input. For battery operation use the external thermistor network in the data sheet. |
| 9 | BAT Input | Input | Battery-voltage sense. Route to the pack positive terminal. |
| 10 | OUT Output | Output | Charge current output. Route to pack positive, with a separate sense trace for BAT. |
| 11 | EP Thermal pad | Thermal pad | Solder the exposed pad to the board ground. Connect the VSS lead to the same ground. |
