May I ask about the expected behaviour of BQ24072 when VIN is disconnected and so the BQ24072 is providing power from the connected battery?
What happens when the battery voltage drops below a certain useful level... for example lets say the upstream circuit requires minimum 3.3v
Can the BQ24072 be "configured" to shutdown when the battery voltage falls below a certain threshold (such as 3.3v)? Or will the BQ24072 keep providing power from the attached battery until it is perhaps damaged as it reaches ~zero volts? In this case, even if the upstream circuit has some low-voltage shutdown/protection, will the BQ24072 itself continue to load the battery to any extent that might (over time) cause damage to the battery?
