In shutdown mode once pin SCL goes high for the first time, the internal counter shown in Figure 19 is immediately

Purpose of this circuit

The purpose of this circuit is an additional security mechanism.

Assume the user programmed torch or indicator operation (there is no timeout for these operating modes) and the bat-

tery slowly drops below the undervoltage limit of the system. The processor would get an reset by the PMIC and the

LDO operating VDD_I/F is switched off, but the processor might not have been able to switch-off the torch/indicator

operation of the AS3643. Due to the implemented security mechanism the AS3643 detects a power off of VDD_I/F and

automatically enters shutdown.

Current consumption in standby/shutdown mode

The AS3643 is designed to draw minimum current in standby and shutdown mode. There is a small difference in cur-

rent consumption between these two operating modes (typ. 300nA) only due to the internal level shifters (see the

schmitt trigger input buffers connected to SCL and SDA in Figure 19) for shifting up the voltage on SCL/SDA (VDD_I/F

e.g. 1.8V) to the supply voltage on VIN (e.g. 3.7V). If the AS3643 is driven with digital levels close to 0V/VIN, the cur-

rent consumption for standby mode is identical to shutdown mode.
