Calculations

Icharge(max)= ((Vref * 3.01kΩ)/Rprog)-.035V)/Rsense)

Assuming Rprog = 26.7 kΩ, based on needs for C/10 comparator Vref = 1.19 V
Rprog and Vref values from datasheet

Charge is 8.5 A

solving for Rsense we get: Rsense=(1.19V * 3.01kΩ)/26.7kΩ)-.035V)/8.5A) = .15Ω

External Charger

Near end of project the PSAS decided to look into using an external charger given the capabilities of the charger that they had selected, and space on the board.

Looking at power switches and the internal charger design saw use for switch controller and mosfet as they had the range needed, and by using the enable pin to switch, could control via the microcontroller.
