In order to provide an output voltage on SYS, the bq24266 requires either a power supply between 4.2 and 14 V with at least 100 mA current rating connected to IN; or, a single-cell Li-Ion battery with voltage > VBATUVLO connected to BAT. The source current rating needs to be at least 2.5 A in order for the buck converter of the charger to provide maximum output power to SYS.
In order for charging to occur the source voltage measured at the IN pins of the IC, factoring in cable/trace losses from the source, must be greater than the VINDPM threshold, but less than the maximum values shown above. The current rating of the source must be higher than the buck converter needs to provide the load on SYS. For charging at a desired charge current of ICHRG, VIN x IIN x η > VSYS x (ISYS+ ICHRG) where η is the efficiency estimate from Figure 2 or Figure 3 and VSYS = VBAT when VBAT charges above VMINSYS. The charger limits IIN to the current limit setting of that input. With ISYS = 0 A, the charger consumes maximum power at the end of CC mode, when the voltage at the BAT pin is near VBATREG but ICHRG has not started to taper off toward ITERM.
