overvoltage protection, reverse charge current protection,
PWM soft-start and robust non-overlap control for an all
N-channel MOSFET PWM power stage.
The device includes AC adapter input current limiting, which
maximizes the charge rate for a fixed input power level. An
external sense resistor programs the input current limit,
and the
ICL
status pin indicates reduced charge current as
a result of AC adapter current limiting. Ideal diode control
at the adaptor input improves charger efficiency.
The
CHRG
status pin is active during all charging modes,
including special indication for low charge current.
