System short protection kicks in when the following conditions are met - the adapter connected the device turns ON the input FET for 5 ms and it detects the SYS pin to be shorted (voltage on SYS <V_{SYS_SHORT} ). In this scenario, the device will turn OFF the input FET for 200 μs and turn it back ON for 5 ms for SYS to rise above the V_SYSSHORT threshold. If after 10 tries, the voltage at SYS does not rise above the V_SYSSHORT threshold, the device will disable both the input and BATFET paths and wait on adapter insertion before turning the paths ON again. A 2s timer is implemented to refresh the retry counter. After 2s, the device will check for system short again repeating the 10 attempts if there is a system short.
