PRODUCTION DATA
At the beginning of the charge cycle, the device starts the safety timer. If charging has not terminated before the programmed safety time, tMAXCHG, expires, the device enters idle mode and charging is disabled. The pre-charge safety time, tPRECHG, is 10% of tMAXCHG. When a safety timer fault occurs, a single 128 µs pulse is sent on the INT pin and the STAT and FAULT bits of the status registers are updated over I2C. The CD pin or power must be toggled in order to clear the safety timer fault. The safety timer duration is programmable using the TMR bits. When the safety timer is active, changing the safety timer duration resets the safety timer. The device also contains a 2X_TIMER bit that enables the 2X timer function to prevent premature safety timer expiration when the charge current is reduced by a load on PMID, SYS, LS/LDO or a NTC condition. When t2X_TIMER function is enabled, the timer is allowed to run at half speed when any loop is active other than CC or CV.
