PRODUCTION DATA
In some applications, the host does not always monitor the charger operation. The INT notifies the system on the device operation. The following events will generate a 256-µs INT pulse.
For the first four events, INT pulse is always generated. For the last event, when a fault occurs, the charger device sends out INT and latches the fault state in REG09 until the host reads the fault register. If a prior fault exists, the charger device would not send any INT upon new faults except NTC fault (REG09[2:0]). The NTC fault is not latched and always reports the current thermistor conditions. In order to read the current fault status, the host has to read REG09 two times consecutively. The 1st reads fault register status from the last read and the 2nd reads the current fault register status.
