[7] Charger: CHARGER gets stuck with no VBAT capacitor

This anomaly applies to IC Rev. Revision 1, build codes CAAA-C00.

Symptoms

Battery stops charging, and CHARGER gets stuck in error state.

Conditions

Battery pack's overdischarge protection is active when VBUS gets connected to a power source.

Consequences

Charging does not start, and CHARGER gets stuck in error state.

Workaround

Add a 1.0 µF capacitor to the VBAT pin as shown in the reference circuit in nPM1100 Product Specification v1.2 or later.
