PMIC Charger Base Interface

This abstract class defines the standard interface for PMIC battery charger control. It provides a unified API for common charging operations across different PMIC chips.

Overview

Battery chargers typically operate in several phases:

• Pre-charge: Low current charging for deeply discharged batteries
• Fast Charge (CC/CV): High current charging until voltage threshold
• Termination: Detection of full charge and charging stop

Units

All voltage and current parameters use standard units:

• Voltage: millivolts (mV)
• Current: milliamps (mA)

Notes

• Some PMICs only support discrete voltage/current steps; implementations should clamp/round as needed but keep the API in real units.
• If a feature is not supported, implementations should return false.
