The device supports boost reverse power direction to deliver power from the battery to the system when the adapter is not present. During this mode of operation, the ACFET and BATFET both remain off. The reverse mode output voltage regulation is set in VSYS_REV register bits. The reverse mode also offers output current regulation via the RAC_SNS resistor. This parameter is controlled by the IAC_REV register bits. The reverse mode operation can be enabled if the following conditions are valid:
While the reverse mode is active, the device sets the REVERSE_STAT bit to 1. Host can disable the reverse operation at any time by setting EN_REV bit to 0. The device disables the converter, and turns the BATFET on to connect the battery directly to the system.
The charger also monitors and regulates the battery discharging current in reverse mode. When the battery discharge current rises above the IBAT_REV register setting, the charger reduces the reverse mode power flow to limit the discharge current.
Once a valid VAC voltage is detected for forward operation, the device automatically disables reverse mode (EN_REV = 0), turns on the ACFETs and proceeds to charge the battery if enabled.
System Note: It is recommended to set EN_CHG = 0 before operating in reverse mode
