If the voltage on the IN pin drops to a preset value,
determined by the threshold established at the VPCC
input, due to a limited amount of input current or input
source impedance, then the battery charging current is
reduced. The VPCC control tries to reach a
steady-state condition where the system load has
priority and the battery is charged with the remaining
current. Therefore, if the system demands more
current than the input can provide, the ideal diode will
become forward biased and the battery is able to
supplement the input current to the system load.
The VPCC sustains the system load as its highest
priority. It does this by reducing the noncritical charge
current while maintaining the maximum power output of
the adapter. Further demand from the system is
supported by the battery, if possible.
The VPCC feature functions identically for USB port or
ac-dc adapter inputs. This feature can be disabled by
connecting the VPCC to IN pin.

If the input current threshold is reached, then the
battery charging current is reduced. The ICLC tries to
reach a steady-state condition where the system load
has priority and the battery is charged with the
remaining current. No active control limits the current
to the system. Therefore, if the system demands more
current than the input can provide or the input ICLC is
reached, the ideal diode will become forward biased
and the battery is able to supplement the input current
to the system load.
The ICLC sustains the system load as its highest
priority. This is done by reducing the non-critical charge
current while adhering to the current limits governed by
the USB specification or the maximum ac-dc adapter
current supported. Further demand from the system is
supported by the battery, if possible.
