MCU software will stop the charging (turn offPWM) when it detects that battery has been removed. The CHAPS re-mains in protection state as long as PWM stays HIGH after the outputovervoltage situation has occured.PWMtVOUTt4VVLIM”1””0”SWITCHtONOFF21.1Battery removed, (standard) charger connected, VOUT rises (follows charger voltage)2.
