BQ25171-Q1: Load sharing circuit

Part Number: BQ25171-Q1

Tool/software:

Hello, is it possible to use load sharing with BQ25171-Q1 ? I'd like to have use USB 5V  power and  battery power.

When 5V USB power is connected it should power the load and charge the 3.6v NimH battery. In that case battery  should be disconnected from the load.

I know this IC does't support this feature, but maybe you can suggest some additional external components (mosfet or IC).

Thank you.
