PRODUCTION DATA.
For proper operation of bq24640, VCC must be from 5 V to 28 V. To begin charging, VCC must be higher than SRN by at least 500 mV (otherwise, the device will be in sleep mode). TI recommends an input voltage of at least 1.5 V to 2 V higher than the super capacitor voltage, taking into consideration the DC losses in the high-side FET (Rdson), inductor (DCR), the input diode drop, and current-sense resistor (between SRP and SRN). Power limit for the input supply must be greater than the maximum power required for super capacitor charging.
