Hi,
What is the best way to reset the IC in case of lockup? Pushing the PB_IN will disable the LDO and DCDC, but is there any way to reset the charger portion or IC?
Thanks,
Josh

Josh,
Can you define the meaning of "lock-up" in your case?
If a UVLO condition occurs on AC/USB pins, LDO & DCDC will be disabled already. Using the PB_IN (push-button) to restart the device is the only way to bring up all of the rails again after this type of "lock-up".
But it sounds like your problem may be different than AC/USB drop-out, and the solution may require a better understanding of the system. A definition of the "lock-up" you observe will be a good start, and scope shots are always appreciated.
In addition, if you can read the Register Map via I2C, it would also help if you can do a register map read and attach the data dump as a .txt file in this thread.
Thanks,
Brian
Josh,
Jay is correct, but I will elaborate on my understanding of the issue:
The push-button will allow the LDO & DC-DC to come up after a UVLO condition has occurred.
If you are experience "device lock-up" as you have described, the part has experienced a UVLO condition. It is operational, but it requires a push-button press to resume normal operation. It is essentially coming out of the "OFF" state again, and this transition requires the push-button press (i.e. PB logic transitions to low active-state).
