PRODUCTION DATA
In addition to input current regulation, the device also offers input voltage regulation to limit the input power. This is especially useful when dealing with input sources such as solar panels, where the operating voltage must be controlled to extract the maximum power. Alternatively, if the input source current limitation is not known, input voltage regulation can be used to limit the power draw from the input source. By using input voltage regulation, the battery charger reduces the charging current when the input voltage falls below the input voltage limit set by the higher of VAC_DPM register bits, or ACUV pin.
There are two thresholds to limit the input voltage (the higher limit of these will apply)
To set the minimum input voltage using the VAC_DPM register bits, write the desired value directly to the VAC_DPM register bits. The default VAC_DPM is set to minimum code, allowing ACUV pin to limit the input voltage in hardware.
To set the minimum input voltage using the ACUV pin, refer to Section 8.3.3.1.
