Input Voltage Based DPM
During normal charging process, if the input power source is not able to support the programmed or default
charging current, the supply voltage decreases. Once the supply drops to VIN_DPM (set by IUSB_ for USB input or
VDPM for IN input), the input current limit is reduced down to prevent the further drop of the supply. This feature
ensures IC compatibility with adapters with different current capabilities without a hardware change. Figure 24
shows the VIN-DPM behavior to a current limited source. In this figure the input source has a 750mA current limit
and the charging is set to 750mA. The SYS load is then increased to 1.2A.

Figure 24. bq2416x VIN-DPM
The VIN-DPM threshold for the IN input is set using a resistor divider with VDPM connected to the center tap.
Select 10kΩ for the bottom resistor. The top resistor is selected using the following equation:
RTOP = 10 kΩ ´ (VINDPM - VDPM )
VDPM
(7)
Where VINDPM is the desired VINDPM threshold and VDPM is the regulation threshold specified in the Electrical
Characteristics table. For the QFN packaged ICs, a small capacitance (10pF-100pF) from the VDPM pin to
ground may be added if the resistor divider from VIN to VDPM is not placed close to the IC pins, thereby causing
significant noise on the VDPM pin.
Bad Source Detection
When a source is connected to IN or USB, the bq2416x runs a Bad Source Detection procedure to determine if
the source is strong enough to provide some current to charge the battery. A current sink is turned on (30mA for
USB input, 75mA for the IN input) for 32ms. After the 32ms, if the input source is above VBADSOURCE plus
hysteresis, where VBADSOURCE is the user set VINDPM threshold, the buck converter starts up and normal
operation continues. If the supply voltage falls below VBADSOURCE less hysteresis during the detection, the current
sink shuts off for two seconds and then retries. The detection circuit retries continuously until either a new source
is connected to the other input or a valid source is detected after the detection time. If during normal operation
the source falls to VBAD_SOURCE, the bq2416x turns off the PWM converter, turns the battery FET on. Once a
good source is detected, the device returns to normal operation.
If two supplies are connected, the IN supply is checked first. If the supply detection fails once, the device
switches to USB for two seconds and then retries IN. This allows the supply to settle if the connection was jittery
or the supply ramp was too slow to pass detection. If the supply fails the detection twice, it is locked out and the
USB supply is used. Once the bad supply is locked out, it remains locked out until the supply voltage falls below
UVLO. This prevents continuously switching between a weak supply and a good supply.
