During each of these events, the internal timers are slowed down proportionately to the reduction in charging
current. For example, if the charging current is reduced by half for two minutes, the timer clock is reduced to half
the frequency and the counter counts half as fast resulting in only one minute of "counting" time.
If the pre charge timer expires before the battery voltage reaches V
LOWV
, the bq2407x indicates a fault condition.
Additionally, if the battery current does not fall to I
TERM
before the fast charge timer expires, a fault is indicated.
The CHG output flashes at approximately 2 Hz to indicate a fault condition. The fault condition is cleared by
toggling CE or the input power, entering/ exiting USB suspend mode, or an OVP event.
STATUS INDICATORS (PGOOD, CHG)
The bq2407x contains two open-drain outputs that signal its status. The PGOOD output signals when a valid
input source is connected. PGOOD is low when (V
BAT
+ V
IN(DT)
) < V
IN
< V
OVP
. When the input voltage is outside
of this range, PGOOD is high impedance.
The charge cycle after power-up, CE going low, or exiting OVP is indicated with the CHG pin on (low - LED on),
whereas all refresh (subsequent) charges will result in the CHG pin off (open - LED off). In addition, the CHG
signals timer faults by flashing at approximately 2 Hz.

THERMAL REGULATION AND THERMAL SHUTDOWN
The bq2407x contain a thermal regulation loop that monitors the die temperature. If the temperature exceeds
T
J(REG)
, the device automatically reduces the charging current to prevent the die temperature from increasing
further. In some cases, the die temperature continues to rise despite the operation of the thermal loop,
particularly under high VIN and heavy OUT system load conditions. Under these conditions, if the die
temperature increases to T
J(OFF)
, the input FET Q1 is turned OFF. FET Q2 is turned ON to ensure that the
battery still powers the load on OUT. Once the device die temperature cools by T
J(OFF-HYS)
, the input FET Q1 is
turned on and the device returns to thermal regulation. Continuous overtemperature conditions result in a
"hiccup" mode. During thermal regulation, the safety timers are slowed down proportionately to the reduction in
current limit.
Note that this feature monitors the die temperature of the bq2407x. This is not synonymous with ambient
temperature. Self heating exists due to the power dissipated in the IC because of the linear nature of the battery
charging algorithm and the LDO associated with OUT. A modified charge cycle with the thermal loop active is
shown in Figure 41. Battery termination is disabled during thermal regulation.
