PRODUCTION DATA.
The device deploys Narrow VDC architecture (NVDC) with BATFET separating system from battery. Even with a fully depleted battery, the system is regulated above the minimum system voltage (fixed 6.2 V (typ)).
When the battery is below minimum system voltage setting, the BATFET operates in linear mode (LDO mode), and the system is typically 200 mV above the minimum system voltage setting. As the battery voltage rises above the minimum system voltage, the BATFET is fully on and the voltage difference between the system and battery is the the BATFET's drain to source voltage drop.
When the battery charging is disabled and VBAT is above minimum system voltage setting or charging is terminated, the system is always regulated at typically 50mV above battery voltage.
