PRODUCTION DATA.
To speed up the charging cycle, we would like to stay in constant current mode as long as possible. In real system, the parasitic resistance, including routing, connector, MOSFETs and sense resistor in the battery pack, may force the charger device to move from constant current loop to constant voltage loop too early, extending the charge time.
The bq24193 allows the user to compensate for the parasitic resistance by increasing the voltage regulation set point according to the actual charge current and the resistance. For safe operation, the user should set the maximum allowed regulation voltage to REG06[4:2], and the minimum trace parasitic resistance (REG06[7:5]).
