What is the minimum DC input voltage (ADAPTER IN) required for a given charger voltage selection?
In my current design I am pre-constrained to use a +18V DC regulated (17A) open frame supply in my charger design. I need 16.5 v constant charging voltage (probably no more than 2.5 to 3A).
I chose the bq24610 due to its ability to handle my +18 V supply and 4 LiPo cells, plus the internal mosfets. However, I can switch (pun) to a different device if the drop out differential is too low.
