The BQ25155 is a highly integrated battery charge management IC that integrates the most common functions for wearable, portable and small medical devices, namely a charger, a regulated output voltage rail for system power, ADC for battery and system monitoring, a LDO, and push-button controller.
The BQ25155 IC integrates a linear charger with Power Path that enables quick and accurate charging for small batteries while providing a regulated voltage to the system. The regulated system voltage (PMID) output may be configured through I 2C based on the recommended operating condition of downstream ICs and system loads for optimal system operation.
The device supports charge current up
to 500 mA and supports termination current down to 0.5 mA for maximum charge. The
battery is charged using a standard Li-Ion charge profile with three phases:
pre-charge, constant current and constant voltage regulation.
The device integrates advanced power
path management and control that allows the device to provide power to the system
while charging the battery even with poor adapters. The host may also control the
power path through I 2C allowing it to disconnect the input adapter and/or
battery without physically removing them. The single push-button input eliminates
the need of a separate button controller IC reducing the total solution footprint.
The push-button input can be used for wake functions or to reset the system. A 16-bit ADC enables accurate battery voltage
monitoring and can be used to enable a low Iq gauging to monitor battery health.
It can also be used to measure the battery temperature using a thermistor
connected to the TS pin as well as external system signals through the ADCIN
pin. The low quiescent current during operation and shutdown enables
maximum battery life. The input current limit, charge current, LDO output voltage,
and other parameters are programmable through the I 2C interface making
the BQ25155 a very flexible
charging solution. A voltage-based JEITA compatible (or standard HOT/COLD) battery
pack thermistor monitoring input (TS) is included that monitors battery temperature
and automatically changes charge parameters to prevent the battery from charging
outside of its safe temperature range. The temperature thresholds are also
programable through I 2C allowing the host to customize the thermal
charging profile. The charger is optimized for 5-V USB input, with 20-V absolute
maximum tolerance to withstand line transients. The device also integrates a linear
regulator to provide a quiet rail for radios or processors and can be independently
sourced and controlled through I 2C.
