6.3.1.5 Low voltage battery mode

TAS2573 can be configured to function for different battery systems like single series cell (1S) Li-ion battery (2.5V to 5.5V) or other low voltage 1S batteries (VBAT_LV = 1.8 V to 5.5V). When the low voltage battery mode is selected for the device, the diagram below shows the conceptual connections in the system to connect the battery. When selected , the VBAT pin of the device is used for biasing internal blocks and needs to be supplied from external power source between 3.0V to 5.5V.

TAS2573 Low voltage battery mode system configurationFigure 6-3 Low voltage battery mode system configuration

The internal battery voltage monitor needs to be switched to sense the voltage on the VBAT_SNS pin instead of the default sensing done on the VBAT pin. SEL_VBAT_MODE[1:0] configures the internal voltage monitor.

The SEL_VBAT_MODE[1:0] is set as '10', ie battery voltage sensed on VBAT_SNS pin, and the VBAT_BIAS_SEL2 register needs to be configured based on the available VDD_5V voltage in the system. Configuring VBAT_BIAS_SEL2 = '01', ie minimum VDD_5V voltage of 2.9V leads to lower power configuration of the boost due to limited bias voltage availability and reduces the max output power.

The selection for minimum voltage needs to be done using PPC3 software. Two options of VBAT_LV minimum voltage support are available, ie min 1.8V mode and min 2.0V mode. There is tradeoff between minimum voltage support and efficiency. When VBAT_LV is selected as 1.8V, the output power at which boost turns ON is lower compared to VBAT_LV minimum 2.0V mode and the efficiency of device while boost is turned ON, is also lower in the VBAT_LV min 1.8V mode vs min 2.0V mode.
