PRODUCTION DATA
This feature enables recharging a connected battery that has very low voltage due to self-discharge. When the charger applies a voltage greater than or equal to V0CHG to Pack+ and Pack– connections, the COUT pin gate drive is fixed by the BAT pin voltage.
Once the voltage between the gate and the source of the charging FET becomes equal to or greater than the turn ON voltage due to the charger voltage, the charging FET is ON and the battery is charged with current flow through the charging FET and the internal parasitic diode of the discharging FET. Once the battery voltage is equal to or higher than the over-discharge release voltage, the device enters normal status.
