PRODUCTION DATA.
The BQ24725A uses an ACOK comparator to determine the source of power on VCC pin, either from the battery or adapter. An external resistor voltage divider attenuates the adapter voltage before it goes to ACDET. The adapter detect threshold should typically be programmed to a value greater than the maximum battery voltage, but lower than the maximum allowed adapter voltage.
The open drain ACOK output requires external pull up resistor to system digital rail for a high level. It can be pulled to external rail under the following conditions:
The first time after IC POR always gives 150ms ACOK rising edge delay no matter what the ChargeOption register value is. Only after the ACDET pin voltage is pulled below 2.4V (but not below 0.6V, which resets the IC and forces the next ACOK rising edge deglitch time to be 1.3s) and the ACFET has been turned off at least one time, the 1.3s (or 150ms) delay time is effective for the next time the ACDET pin voltage goes above 2.4V. To change this option, the VCC pin voltage must above UVLO, and the ACDET pin voltage must be above 0.6V which enables the IC SMBus communication and sets ChargeOption() bit[15] to 0 which sets the next ACOK rising deglitch time to be 150ms. The purpose of the default 1.3s rising edge deglitch time is to turn off the ACFET long enough when the ACDET pin is pulled below 2.4V by excessive system current, such as over current or short circuit.
