The BQ25170 is an integrated
800-mA linear charger for 1-cell Li-Ion, Li-Polymer, and LiFePO4
batteries targeted at space-limited portable applications.
The device has a single power output that charges the battery. The system load can
be placed in parallel with the battery, as long as the average system load does not
prevent the battery from charging fully within the safety timer duration. 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 three phases for
charging a Li-Ion battery: 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.
