OPERATION
For very low-battery voltages, the battery charger acts like
a load and, due to limited input power, its current will tend
to pull V
V
automatically detects that V
battery charge current as needed. This reduction ensures
that load current and voltage are always prioritized while
allowing as much battery charge current as possible. See
Over Programming the Battery Charger in the Applications
Information section.
The voltage regulation loop compensation is controlled by
the capacitance on V
10μF is required for loop stability. Additional capacitance
beyond this value will improve transient response.
An internal undervoltage lockout circuit monitors V
keeps the switching regulator off until V
4.30V and is about 200mV above the battery voltage.
When both conditions are met, VBUSGD goes low and
the switching regulator turns on. Hysteresis on the UVLO
forces VBUSGD high and turns off the switching regulator
if V
voltage. When this happens, system power at V
be drawn from the battery via the ideal diode(s).

USB On-The-Go can be enabled by either of the external
control pins, ENOTG or ID. Figure 3 shows the power fl ow

if V
mode is enabled. The switching regulator is also designed
to allow true output disconnect by eliminating body diode
conduction of the internal PMOS switch. This allows V
to go to zero volts during a short-circuit condition or while
shutdown, drawing zero current from V
The voltage regulation loop is compensated by the capaci-
tance on V
required for loop stability. Additional capacitance beyond
this value will improve transient response. The V
age has approximately 3% load regulation up to an output
current of 500mA. At light loads, the switching regulator
goes into Burst Mode

and PMOS switches shut off. The regulator delivers power
again to V
The switching regulator features both peak inductor and
average output current limit. The peak current-mode
architecture limits peak inductor current on a cycle-by-
cycle basis. The peak current limit is equal to V
a maximum of 1.8A so that in the event of a sudden short
circuit, the current limit will fold back to a lower value.
In step-up mode, the voltage on CLPROG represents the
average output current of the switching regulator when
a programming resistor and an averaging capacitor are
connected from CLPROG to GND. With a 3.01k resistor
on CLPROG, the bidirectional switching regulator has an
output current limit of 680mA. As the output current ap-
proaches this limit, CLPROG servos to 1.15V and V

the PMOS switch is on to balance the rise in the inductor
