Abstract
A system includes: a switching converter circuit adapted to be coupled between an input voltage source and a load; and an integrated circuit adapted to be coupled between the input voltage source and a battery and configured to charge the battery. The integrated circuit has: a monitoring circuitry adapted to be coupled to the battery and configured to detect a transient fault condition of the integrated circuit; a power stage adapted to be coupled between the input voltage source and the battery, the power stage having a power switch; and a control circuit coupled between the monitoring circuitry and the power stage, the control circuit configured to provide a control signal to adjust a conductivity of the power switch responsive to a detected transient fault condition.
