PRODUCTION DATA
The total input current is a function of the system supply current and the battery charging current. System current normally fluctuates as portions of the systems are powered up or down. Without DPM, the source must be able to supply the maximum system current and the maximum charger input current simultaneously. By using DPM, the battery charger reduces the charging current when the input current exceeds the input current limit set by the lower of IAC_DPM register bits, or ILIM_HIZ pin. This allows the current capability of the input source to be lowered, reducing system cost.
There are two thresholds to limit the input current (if both are enabled, the lower limit of these two will apply):
The default IAC_DPM is set to maximum code, allowing ILIM_HIZ pin to limit the current in hardware.
To set the maximum current using the ILIM_HIZ pin, refer to Section 6.3.5.1.1.1.
For example, using a 5mΩ resistor yields programmability from 400mA to 20A with 50mA/step.
