PRODUCTION DATA.
The bq24076 and bq24078 feature a SYSOFF input that allows the user to turn the FET Q2 off and disconnect the battery from the OUT pin. This is useful for disconnecting the system load from the battery, factory programming where the battery is not installed or for host side impedance track fuel gauging, such as bq27500, where the battery open circuit voltage level must be detected before the battery charges or discharges. The /CHG output remains low when SYSOFF is high. Connect SYSOFF to VSS, to turn Q2 on for normal operation. SYSOFF is internally pulled to VBAT through ~5 MΩ resistor.
