In this application report, proper configuration of standalone power path linear chargers will be discussed as well as the different mode these chargers have. Power Path chargers have an advantage over Non Power Path chargers due to the extra FET between the SYS rail and the BAT pin. This gives priority to the System which allows for system startup with a depleted battery and proper battery termination.
