Hi E2E,
Our customer test "Battery discharge test" in chamber(-25 degree C) find that IC reach for NTC protection early.
The test table as below,
*We find the VREGN=0V @ 67%.
After this test, I ask for customer use 10K Variable resistance to test then find the NTC protection is 76% and 36% normally.
First, I doubt the battery can't work at -25 degree C lead to VREGN no output. But the PMIC still have voltage (2.997V). So MAYBE battery is normally.
Now Customer want to us to explain "what conditions will lead to Q4 be turned off when battery discharge"
I study the conditions and arrange it as below,
1. Battery voltage under 2.0V
2. NTC protection
Did I miss others conditions?
