6 Summary

This solution gives the ability for chargers to have the ship-mode function which can reduce system I_Q and ensure a good end-customer experience with more battery state of charge. This solution also allows the system to be shutdown and restarted on demand with programmable wait time. While this solution requires external discrete components, newer solutions for the power path charger such as BQ25180 have increased push-button functionality and support ship mode without discrete components.
