Description for the USB-PD-CHG-EVM-01
The USB-PD-CHG-EVM-01 evaluation module (EVM) is used to evaluate the BQ25798 device and TPS25750 device together. The BQ25798 is an integrated switched-mode buck-boost battery charge management device in HOTROD (QFN) package, intended for 1- to 4-series cell Li-ion and Li-polymer batteries from 3.6-24-V input. The TPS25750 is a USB Type-C and PD controller capable of sourcing and sinking 20-V/5-A internally. The I2C serial interface allows the PD controller to drive the battery charger and also to simultaneously be driven by a host makes the combination a truly flexible solution
