PRODUCTION DATA
The device terminates a charge cycle when the battery voltage is above recharge threshold, and the current is below termination current. After the charging cycle is completed, the BATFET turns off. The converter keeps running to power the system, and BATFET can turn on again to engage Supplement Mode.
When termination occurs, the status register CHRG_STAT is set to 11, and an INT pulse is asserted to the host. Termination is temporarily disabled when the charger device is in input current, voltage or thermal regulation. Termination can be disabled by writing 0 to EN_TERM bit prior to charge termination.
At low termination currents (25 mA-50 mA), due to the comparator offset, the actual termination current may be 10 mA-20 mA higher than the termination target. in order to compensate for comparator offset, a programmable top-off timer can be applied after termination is detected. The termination timer will follow safety timer constraints, such that if safety timer is suspended, so will the termination timer. Similarly, if safety timer is doubled, so will the termination timer. TOPOFF_ACTIVE bit reports whether the top off timer is active or not. The host can read CHRG_STAT and TOPOFF_ACTIVE to find out the termination status.
Top off timer gets reset at one of the following conditions:
The top-off timer settings are read in once termination is detected by the charger. Programming a top-off timer value after termination will have no effect unless a recharge cycle is initiated. An INT is asserted to the host when entering top-off timer segment as well as when top-off timer expires.
