Disconnect Enable Register (R13h)
The disconnect enable register (R13h, Table 20) is used 
to enable AC and DC load-disconnect detection. On 
power-up or after a reset condition, this register is reset to 
a default value of 000x to 000x, where the status latched 
in from the OSC input determines if AC or DC disconnect 
is set (see the AC/DC Disconnect Monitoring sections 
for details). Setting DCD_EN (R13h[0]) to 1 enables the 
DC load-disconnect detection feature. Setting ACD_EN 
(R13h[4]) to 1 enables the AC load-disconnect feature. 
If enabled, the load-disconnect detection starts during 
power mode and after startup when the PGOOD bit 
(R10h[4], Table 16) goes high.
Detection and Classification
Enable Register (R14h)
The detection and classification enable register (R14h, 
Table 21) is used to enable detection and classification 
routines for the port. On a power-up or after a reset con-
dition, this register is set to a default value of FFh (which 
corresponds to the default auto mode). Setting DET_EN 
(R14h[0]) and CLASS_EN (R14h[4]) to 1 enables load 
detection and classification, respectively. Detection 
always has priority over classification. For classifica-
tion without detection, set the DET_EN bit to 0 and the 
CLASS_EN bit to 1.
When entering auto mode, R14h defaults to FFh. When 
entering semi or manual modes, R14h defaults to 00h. 
In manual mode, R14h works like a pushbutton. Set the 
bits high to launch the corresponding routine. The bit 
then clears after one complete detection or classification 
cycle finishes.
