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 256-µs INT pulse.
When a fault occurs, the charger device sends out INT and keeps the fault state in REG0C until the host reads the fault register. Before the host reads REG0C and all the faults are cleared, the charger device would not send any INT upon new faults. To read the current fault status, the host has to read REG0C two times consecutively. The 1st read reports the pre-existing fault register status and the 2nd read reports the current fault register status.
