Hi,
I'm planning on using bq24133 in my design but I have a question regarding the power management-
the application in general is a mobile device which powered by a small 12V motor. the motor is turning brushes which cleaning light load.
the motor powered by 3-cell Li-Ion rechargeable battery. whenever the device locating in its docking station, recharging occurs, and the motor is off.
at operation the motor is on and charging is off. therefore, I don't need power path (sys line is not relevant).
so, my questions are-
1. is it possible to dissable the power path and to keep it as if the load powered by the battery path?
2. could this battery charger IC be system-controlled and not stand alone?
3. thermistor wise- is it true that there's not need to connect the thermistor line from the battery, but locate the AT103 afar from the battery? (actually, if so, it's great for me, I don't want to connect the thermistor line from the battery).
Thanks,
