PRODUCTION DATA.
For proper operation of bq24620, VCC must be from 5 V to 28 V. To begin charging, VCC must be higher than SRN by at least 500 mV (otherwise, the device will be in sleep mode). TI recommends an input voltage of at least 1.5 V to 2 V higher than the battery voltage, taking into consideration the DC losses in the high-side FET (Rdson), inductor (DCR), the input diode drop, and battery sense resistor (between SRP and SRN). Power limit for the input supply must be greater than the maximum power required for battery charging.
