PRODUCTION DATA
When charger LDO mode is enabled (EN_LDO=1b) and VBAT voltage falls below VSYS_MIN() during charging, the charger must regulate the system output voltage fixed at VSYS_MIN() and battery charging current is regulated by BATFET gate voltage achieving LDO mode operation. Both charger pre-charge and trickle charge status are implemented through this LDO mode operation. Under both pre-charge and trickle charge there are corresponding current limit referring to Battery Charging Profile. Under LDO mode larger VSYS_MIN() minus VBAT delta and larger charge current must generate more thermal dissipation at BATFET which must be properly limited to verify safe operation. Therefore. besides pre-charge and trickle charge current clamp mentioned above, we have additional two levels current clamp to verify that the maximum BATFET dissipation loss is below 2W based on the relationship between VBAT and VSYS_MIN() setting. Refer also to Table 7-11. The lower current clamp dominates the final maximum charge current limit considering IPRECHG() user register upper clamp, battery short trickle charge current clamp (128mA) and two levels BATFET current clamp below.
| NAME | VBAT VS VSYS_MIN() | MAXIMUM CHARGE CURRENT CLAMP |
|---|---|---|
| IBATFET_CLAMP1 | 1V<VSYS_MIN()-VBAT<4V | 512mA (Internal Clamp no impact on IPRECHG() register) |
| IBATFET_CLAMP2 | 4V<VSYS_MIN()-VBAT | 128mA (Internal Clamp no impact on IPRECHG() register) |
When charger LDO mode is disabled (EN_LDO=0b), then BATFET is either in a fully on or fully off status. When charge is disabled the system voltage is regulated at 5V (VBAT< 5V) or VBAT+160mV (VBAT>5V). However, when the charge is enabled, then VSYS is regulated close to VBAT to implement target charging current and VSYS_MIN regulation is not effective.
