PRODUCTION DATA
The internal battery MOSFET is used to charge the battery. When the battery is above the MINSYS voltage, the internal FET is on to maximize efficiency and the PWM converter regulates the charge current into the battery. When battery is less than MINSYS, the SYS is regulated to VSYS(REG) and battery is charged using the battery FET to regulate the charge current. There are 5 loops that influence the charge current:
During the charging process, all five loops are enabled and the one that is dominant takes control. The BQ2416xx supports a precision Li-ion or Li-polymer charging system for single-cell applications. The Dynamic Power Path Management (DPPM) feature regulates the system voltage to a minimum of VMINSYS, so that startup is enabled even for a missing or deeply discharged battery. Figure 8-1 shows a typical charge profile including the minimum system output voltage feature.
