The BQ25176M is
an integrated 800-mA linear solar charger for
1-cell Li-Ion, Li-Polymer, and LiFePO4
batteries with continual charge mode and battery
tracking VINDPM. The device has a
single power output that charges the battery. When
the system load is placed in parallel with the
battery, the charge current is shared between the
system and the battery.
The device has four phases for charging a Li-Ion/Li-Poly
battery: trickle
charge to bring the battery voltage up to
VBAT_SHORT, precharge to recover a
fully discharged battery, fast-charge constant
current to supply the bulk of the charge, and
voltage regulation to reach full capacity.
In all charge
phases, an internal control loop monitors the IC
junction temperature and reduces the charge
current if an internal temperature threshold,
TREG, is exceeded.
The charger power
stage and charge current sense functions are fully
integrated. The charger function has high accuracy
current and voltage regulation loops, charge
status display, and automatic charge termination.
The charge voltage and fast charge current are
programmable through external resistors. The
precharge and termination current threshold track
the fast charge current setting.
