PRODUCTION DATA
BQ25713/BQ25713B employs Narrow VDC architecture (NVDC) with BATFET separating system from battery. The minimum system voltage is set by MinSystemVoltage(). Even with a deeply depleted battery, the system is regulated above the minimum system voltage.
When the battery is below minimum system voltage setting, the BATFET operates in linear mode (LDO mode).
As the battery voltage rises above the minimum system voltage, BATFET is fully on when charging or in supplement mode and the voltage difference between the system and battery is the VDS of BATFET. System voltage is regulated 160 mV above battery voltage when BATFET is off (no charging or no supplement current).
The BATDRV pin is only able to drive a battery MOSFET with Ciss lower than 5nF. The Ciss in the range of 1nF~3nF is recommended.
See Section 9.6.5.1 for details on system voltage regulation and register programming.
