PRODUCTION DATA
When the adapter is not present, if VCC is powered with voltage higher than UVLO directly or indirectly (such as through a LDO or switching converter) from battery, the internal BATFET charge pump gives the BATFET pin 6-V higher voltage than the SRN pin to drive the n-channel BATFET. As a result, the battery has higher quiescent current. This is only necessary when the battery powers the system due to a high system current that goes through the MOSFET channel instead of the body diode to reduce conduction loss and extend the battery working life. When the system is totally shutdown, it is not necessary to let the internal BATFET charge pump work. The host controller can turn off the switches in the battery pack to disconnect the battery from the system. Some packs may wake up again if the voltage on SRN pin stays above pack UVLO too long. By setting ChargeOption1() bit[1] to 1, host can enable current source inside charger IC to discharge the SRN pin quickly. As a result, the system is discharged down to zero to minimize the quiescent current.
