I power BQ24650 from 5V source
1. As REGN is powered from LDO its voltage can not be higher than VCC. Actually it is around 5V. Then I get say 4.8V on BTST and (considering output around 4Volts) high-side mosfet Vgs<1V. So it is closed and charger is turning on. Is it as expected to be? What is the lowest expected Vin - Vsrp for charger to operate? Is there some way to make it work with 5V input and one Li-ion output?
2. When I operate on Vin=7V I get 1V drop on 10Ohm resistor connected to VCC pin. That means VCC current 100mA which is more than expected from datasheet. Is it indicates some IC failure or normal?
