7 Conclusion

There are trade-offs between a power path or a non-power path battery-charger IC. Battery-charger ICs with power path provide additional functionality with the integrated battery FET: additional power modes such as ship mode to conserve the battery, full system reset capability to recover unresponsive hosts, and the ability to maximize both the battery capacity for longer run times and minimize battery fatigue. These types of charger ICs will help increase battery and system performance in applications that need simultaneous charging and system use.
