PRODUCTION DATA.
To prevent overheating of the chip during the charging process, the IC monitors the junction temperature, TJ, of the die and begins to taper down the charge current once TJ reaches the thermal regulation threshold, TCF. The charge current is reduced to zero when the junction temperature increases approximately 10°C above TCF. In any state, if TJ exceeds TSHTDWN, the IC suspends charging. In thermal shutdown mode, PWM is turned off and all timers are frozen. Charging resumes when TJ falls below TSHTDWN by approximately 10°C.
