RT9471 Thermal Information

To start a boost mode to discharge from battery, the voltage on TS pin must be in T0 to T4 range. The device will stop converter if the battery temperature is lower than T0 (COLD_OTG) or higher than T4 (HOT_OTG). In this case, the IC_STAT = 1000 for charge fault and an INT is asserted to the host.

Once temperature returns to normal range, the boost mode is recovered.
