(1) The LDO is turned off in the SHUTDOWN mode. When the LDO is disabled, the CHG FET drive output is OFF by default, as all outputs
of the device are disabled.
(2) Regardless of EEPROM setting, if a battery pack in the UV protection state is inserted into a charger (charger presence is detected), the
CHG FET is turned ON to allow recharge of the pack. The DSG FET is turned on after UV recovery, as noted in Table 2 (conditions
based on EEPROM setting).
(3) a) If UV_REC_DLY = 1 and any cell remains < UV + hyst for longer than 8 seconds, the device enters SHUTDOWN mode and requires
insertion into charger to recover. If UV_REC_DLY = 0, the device does not enter SHUTDOWN mode from the UV FAULT protection
state.
b) The LDO is turned off in the SHUTDOWN mode. Charger insertion is required to recover from the SHUTDOWN mode.
CAUTION: Care should be taken when using UV_REC = 0, because the power MOSFETs can oscillate when high load currents cause
repeated cell UV conditions, which could result in overheating of cells or MOSFETs.
(4) If the UV_HYST_INH bit = 1, then the hysteresis threshold is inhibited and recovery occurs whenever the cells exceed the UV threshold
(without hysteresis). If UV_HYST_INH = 1, the UV_REC bit should also be configured = 1. Otherwise, UV fault/recovery modes may
chatter without hysteresis.
(5) If the LDO is left ON, the CHG FET is disabled when the fault condition occurs and re-enabled as soon as a charger is attached. The
DSG FET does not re-enable until the UV condition is cleared (Vcell > Vuv + hysteresis).
(6) Recovery occurs within tTHERM_CHECK after recovery conditions are met.
(7) If a thermistor short occurs while charger is not detected, the FETs initially are re-enabled when charger is detected. If short condition is
still present tTHERM_CHECK after charger detection and CHG_TMP_DIS = 0, the FETs re-open until the short condition is removed. If
CHG_TMP_DIS = 1, the FETs remain enabled regardless of the short condition.
(8) If a charger is presently detected when the shorted thermistor fault is registered, the LDO does not shut off. Within 0 to 4 seconds after
the short is removed, the FETs re-enable and the device recovers. However, if the charger is disconnected after the short is removed,
but before the FETs are re-enabled, the device will shut down with the LDO off and require charger detection for recovery.
(9) If an open-cell fault occurs while a charger is detected, the device does not shut down. However, the device does shut down if the
charger is later disconnected while the open-cell condition is still present. If the charger is disconnected after the open-cell condition is
removed, the device recovers (i.e., FETs are re-enabled). Following a shutdown caused by an open-cell condition, the FETs initially
re-enable when a charger is detected. However, if the open-cell condition is still present, the FETs re-open after the filter time.
