PRODUCTION DATA.
When the charging current decreases to less than the termination current threshold, the charger is turned off. The value of the termination current threshold can be set in the CHGCONFIG3 register using the TERMIF[1:0] bits. The termination current has a default setting of 7.5% of the ICHRG[1:0] setting.
Charge termination is enabled by default and can be disabled by setting the TERM bit of the CHGCONFIG1 register to 1b. When termination is disabled, the device goes through the precharge, fast-charge, and CV phases, then stays in the CV phase. The charger behaves like an LDO regulator with an output voltage equal to the battery charger voltage (VOREG) and can source current up to the fast charge current (ICHG) or maximum input current (IIN-MAX), whichever is less. Battery detection is not performed.
NOTE
The termination current threshold is not a tightly controlled parameter. Using the lowest setting (2.5% of the nominal charge current) is not recommended because the minimum termination current can be very close to 0. Any leakage on the battery side may cause the termination not to trigger and charging to time out eventually.
