PRODUCTION DATA
Based on the I2C register bit WATCHDOG_15S_ENABLE the device can perform a HW reset/power cycle in the same manner a long button press or HW_RESET would. This 15-second watchdog or timeout is gated upon VIN> VVBAT + VSLEEPZ so that the HW reset would only occur if the host does not respond after a charger is connected and VIN_PGOOD_STAT is set.
If the charger is connected and the host responds before the 15-second watchdog expires, the part continues in normal operation and starts the normal 50-second watchdog timer if enabled. The 15-second watchdog may be enabled/disabled through I2C with the WATCHDOG_15S_ENABLE bit.
