PRODUCTION DATA.
The device deploys Narrow VDC architecture (NVDC) with BATFET separating system from battery. The minimum system voltage is set by REG01[3:1]. Even with a fully depleted battery, the system is regulated above the minimum system voltage (default 3.5 V).
When the battery is below minimum system voltage setting, the BATFET operates in linear mode (LDO mode), and the system is 150 mV above the minimum system voltage setting. As the battery voltage rises above the minimum system voltage, BATFET is fully on and the voltage difference between the system and battery is the VDS of BATFET.
When the battery charging is disabled or terminated, the system is always regulated at 150 mV above the minimum system voltage setting. The status register REG08[0] goes high when the system is in minimum system voltage regulation.
