PRODUCTION DATA
The device is powered from the greater of either VBUS or VOUT (battery). The voltage must be greater than the VBUSPRESENT or VOUTPRESENT threshold to be a valid supply. However, the device will start drawing power once the voltage rises above the VBUSUVLO or VOUTUVLO threshold.
The device has a watchdog timer, which is enabled by default. If the device is not read from or written to before the watchdog expires, the part will stop switching. The first read of the watchdog timer flag will always read ‘1’. During initial power up of the device, upon completion of pin detection for address, an INT pulse will be triggered to show a watchdog timeout. The host should not attempt to read or write before this initial INT signal.
The device will not charge when first powered up, as the default charge state is always not enabled. The ADC is available prior to enabling charge so the system parameters are known to the host before enabling charge. If the VOUT voltage is not greater than 3 V, the charger cannot be enabled. The lowest charge voltage allowed on VOUT is 2.8 V falling.
Although the device will depend on the smart adapter to ramp the charging current, the device implements a soft start through QB that limits the ramp current. If the current through QB is greater than the programmed VBUS_OCP, the FET is disabled. The output voltage ramps as the current is increased.
