bq40z60 acfet

Hello,


I have a question about the application and implementation of the bq40z60 datasheet. In the schematic on page 32, the drain and source are reversed from the ACFET. My question is what is exactly the purpose of this n mosfet, because when the mosfet is switched on it will conduct and when the acfet is switched of there will be a voltage drop because of the body diode. In both ways the acfet will conduct, only with a voltage drop or not.

Can somebody clarify this?
