Typical Application (High Power Supercapacitor Backup)

The Supercapacitor Backup application uses the BQ25822 IC as a power stage to charge or discharge the stack of supercapacitors. The system demands high peak power with large transient speeds and local energy storage in the form of a capacitor bank helps buffer the energy demand from the input power shelf. When the load is inactive, the capacitor bank gets charged. During maximum load, the capacitor bank gets discharged which we call supplement mode. During normal load, the charging power is reduced to keep the input power constant. The capacitor bank is only used to provide power in the order of seconds and hence it is recommended to use supercapacitors for the highest power density and longest lifetime. The figure below shows a typical schematic when using the device in a Supercapacitor Backup application. This application works successfully with supercapacitors as well as regular capacitors.
