| Power | Configuration | Body Diode Threshold | U1 | 1 | 10 | 1 | 500 μV |
Description: This register sets the threshold at which the device enables the FET driver to protect the body diode.
To minimize power dissipation in the FET body diode, the FET is turned on when reverse current is detected and the other FET is on. Current is detected by comparing the sense resistor voltage to the voltage threshold.
When discharge current is detected greater in magnitude than Power:Configuration:Body Diode Threshold and the DSG FET is on, the CHG FET is turned on.
When charge current is detected greater than Power:Configuration:Body Diode Threshold and the CHG FET is on, the DSG FET is turned on.
When in parallel FET mode (Settings:FET:FET Options[SFET] = 0), body diode protection is disabled and a FET is not turned on in response to reverse current.
Threshold = 500 μV × (setting)
The minimum setting is 1 (500 μV), meaning 500 mA across 1 mΩ. The maximum setting is 10 (5 mV).
