The L6924U, as linear charger, is more suitable for applications where the charging source has a
relatively low nominal voltage (~5 V), so that a switching charger is suggested for applications where
the charging source has a relatively high nominal voltage (e.g. ~12 V, refer to the following section
for specific design-in), even if the L6924U can also charge from an AC wall adapter as its input
voltage range is tolerant up to 12 V: when a current-limited adapter is used, it can operate in
quasi-pulse mode, thereby reducing power dissipation.

Guidelines for external charging and power path management circuit
Application devices where both a permanent primary supply / charging source (e.g. ~12 V) and a
rechargeable back-up battery (e.g. 3.7 V Li-Pol) are available at the same time as possible supply
source should implement a suitable charger / regulator with integrated power path management
function to supply the module and the whole device while simultaneously and independently charging
the battery.
illustrates a simplified block diagram circuit showing the working principle of a
charger / regulator with integrated power path management function. This component allows the
system to be powered by a permanent primary supply source (e.g. ~12 V) using the integrated
regulator which simultaneously and independently recharges the battery (e.g. 3.7 V Li-Pol) that
represents the back-up supply source of the system: the power path management feature permits
the battery to supplement the system current requirements when the primary supply source is not
available or cannot deliver the peak system currents.
