Hi,
i want to use the bq24210 to charge a Li-Ion Batterie. I switch between two sources. One is a inductive charger and the other is a
low current solar cell with only Iout=4mA @MPP.
Would this IC work with this low solar cell current?
Best regards
The bq24210 will not work with an input source that is only capable of 4mA. Although the bq24210 quiescent current is only 800uA when charging, the minimum recommended charge current is 50mA. Please consider the bq25504. It is considered an "energy harvesting" IC that is designed to operate from very low input power sources.
