PRODUCTION DATA
Input overvoltage protection with external single or back-to-back N-channel FET(s): The device integrates the functionality of an input overvoltage protector. With external single or back-to-back N-channel FET(s), the device blocks high input voltage exceeding VACOVP threshold (VAC1OVP or VAC2OVP). This eliminates the need for a separate OVP device to protect the overall system. The integrated VACOVP feature has a response time of tVACOVP (the actual time to turn off external FET(s) will be longer and depends upon the FET(s) gate capacitance). The VAC1OVP and VAC2OVP setting is adjustable in the VAC control register. The part allows the user to have different VAC1OVP and VAC2OVP settings. Always put the high VACOVP threshold input to VAC1.
When VAC1OVP or VAC2OVP is tripped, corresponding ACDRV is turned off and VAC1OVP_STAT or VAC2OVP_STAT and VAC1OVP_FLAG or VAC2OVP_FLAG is set to ‘1’, and INT is asserted low to alert the host (unless masked by VAC1OVP_MASK or VAC2OVP_MASK). When VAC2OVP is triggered, the device sends multiple interrupts when the fault persists. Use VAC1 as input unless both VAC1 and VAC2 are needed.
Input overvoltage protection (BUSOVP): The BUSOVP threshold is adjustable in the BUSOVP register. When BUSOVP is tripped, switched cap or bypass mode is disabled and CHG_EN is set to ‘0’. BUSOVP_STAT and BUSOVP_FLAG is set to ‘1’, and INT is asserted low to alert the host (unless masked by BUSOVP_MASK). The start-up sequence must be followed to resume charging.
Input overcurrent protection (BUSOCP): Input overcurrent protection monitors the current flow into VBUS. The overcurrent protection threshold is adjustable in the BUSOCP register. When BUSOCP is tripped, Switched Cap or Bypass Mode is disabled and CHG_EN is set to ‘0’. BUSOCP_STAT and BUSOCP_FLAG is set to ‘1’, and INT is asserted low to alert the host (unless masked by BUSOCP_MASK). The start-up sequence must be followed to resume charging.
Input undercurrent protection (BUSUCP): BUS undercurrent protection (UCP) is implemented to detect adapter unplug. Set BUSUCP =1 (REG05[6]) before enable charge. When BUSUCP is enabled (BUSUCP_DIS=0), if the current is below BUSUCP after soft start timer (programmable in SS_TIMEOUT[2:0]) expires, Switched Cap or Bypass Mode is disabled and CHG_EN is set to ‘0’. BUSUCP_STAT and BUSUCP_FLAG is set to ‘1’, and INT is asserted low to alert the host (unless masked by BUSUCP_MASK). The start-up sequence must be followed to resume charging. The deglitch time for BUSUCP is programmable in IBUSUCP_FALL_DG_SET[1:0] register. Please note that BUSUCP deglitch time needs to be set shorter than soft start timer in order for BUSUCP to be effective.
When BUSUCP is disabled (BUSUCP_DIS=1), if the current is below BUSUCP after soft-start timer expires, CHG_EN is not set to ‘0’, BUSUCP_STAT and BUSUCP_FLAG is set to ‘1’, and INT is asserted low to alert the host (unless masked by BUSUCP_MASK). The host can determine if charge needs to be stopped in this case.
Input reverse-current protection (BUSRCP): The device monitors the current flow from VBUS to VBAT to ensure there is no reverse current (current flow from VBAT to VBUS). In an event that a reverse current flow is detected when BUSRCP_DIS is set to ‘0’, the Switched Cap or Bypass is disabled and CHG_EN is set to ‘0’. The start-up sequence must be followed to resume charging. To disable BUSRCP, set REG05[1:0] to '00' and then set BUSRCP_DIS=1.
RCP is always active when converter is switching and BUSRCP_DIS is set to '0'. When RCP is tripped, BUSRCP_STAT and BUSRCP_FLAG is set to ‘1’, and INT is asserted low to alert the host (unless masked by BUSRCP_MASK).
Input overvoltage and overcurrent protection alarm (BUSOVP_ALM and BUSOCP_ALM): In addition to input overvoltage and overcurrent, the device also integrates alarm function BUSOVP_ALM and BUSOCP_ALM. When alarm is triggered, the corresponding STAT and FLAG bit is set to ‘1’ and INT is asserted low to alert the host (unless it is masked by the MASK bit). However, CHG_EN is not cleared and host can reduce input voltage or input current to prevent VBUS reaching VBUSOVP threshold or IBUS reaching IBUSOCP threshold.
VBUS_ERRHI: the device monitors VBUS to VOUT voltage ratio. If VBUS/VOUT is greater than VBUS_ERRHI_RISING threshold, the converter does not switch but CHG_EN is kept at '1'. The converter automatically starts switching when the VBUS/VOUT drops below VBUS_ERRHI_FALLING threshold.
