Charging Safety Timers

The device has built-in safety timers to prevent an extended charging cycle due to abnormal battery conditions. The precharge timer is fixed at 30 minutes. The fast-charge safety timer is fixed at 10 hours. When safety timer expires, the charge cycle ends. A toggle on the input supply or TS pin is required to restart a charge cycle after the safety timer has expired.

During thermal regulation, the safety timer counts at half clock rate as the actual charge current is likely to be below the ISET setting. For example, if the charger is in thermal regulation throughout the whole charging cycle, and the safety timer is 10 hours, then the timer will expire in 20 hours.

During faults which disable charging, such as VIN OVP, BAT OVP, TSHUT or TS faults, the timer is suspended. Once the fault goes away, charging and the safety timer resumes. If the charging cycle is stopped and started again, the timer gets reset (toggle TS pin restarts the timer).

The safety timer restarts counting for the following events:

  1. Charging cycle stop and restart (toggle TS pin, charged battery falls below recharge threshold, or toggle input supply)
  2. OUT pin voltage crosses the VBAT_LOWV threshold in either direction

The precharge safety timer (fixed counter that runs when VOUT < VBAT_LOWV), follows the same rules as the fast-charge safety timer in terms of getting suspended, reset, and counting at half-rate.
