PRODUCTION DATA
When the device transitions into battery-only mode, the BATFET turns on with ideal diode control (if EN_BATFET_IDEAL_DIODE = 1) to prevent reverse current flowing into the battery when the system is higher than the battery voltage. The BATFET gate is regulated with a higher voltage to reduce RDSON until the BATFET is in full conduction. At this point onwards, the BATFET VDS linearly increases with discharge current.
System Note: Ideal diode mode can take a long time to enable the FET, therefore it is only recommended when using a single BATFET with body diode to support the transition. When ideal diode mode is disabled (EN_BATFET_IDEAL_DIODE = 0), the device turns on the BATFET gate with IBATDRV_REG. This provides a quick turn-on transition for the BATFET. Ideal diode mode also consumes higher quiescent current from the battery while the loop is in regulation.
