PRODUCTION DATA.
The BQ24725A has a cycle-by-cycle peak over current protection. It monitors the voltage across SRP and SRN, and prevents the current from exceeding of the threshold based on the DAC charge current set point. The high-side gate drive turns off for the rest of the cycle when the over current is detected, and resumes when the next cycle starts.
The charge OCP threshold is automatically set to 6A, 9A, and 12A on a 10mΩ current sensing resistor based on charge current register value. This prevents the threshold to be too high which is not safe or too low which can be triggered in normal operation. Proper inductance should be selected to prevent OCP triggered in normal operation due to high inductor current ripple.
