The device provides innovative Input Current Optimizer (ICO) to identify maximum power point without overload the input source. The algorithm automatically identify maximum input current limit of power source without entering VINDPM to avoid input source overload.

This feature is enabled by default (ICO_EN=1) and can be disabled by setting ICO_EN bit to 0. After DCP or MaxCharge type input source is detected based on the procedures previously described (Section 8.2.3.3). The algorithm runs automatically when ICO_EN bit is set. The algorithm can also be forced to execute by setting FORCE_ICO bit regardless of input source type detected.

The actual input current limit used by the Section 8.2.6.2 is reported in IDPM_LIM register while Input Current Optimizer is enabled (ICO_EN = 1) or set by IINLIM register when the algorithm is disabled (ICO_EN = 0). In addition, the current limit is clamped by ILIM pin unless EN_ILIM bit is 0 to disable ILIM pin function.
