Part Number: TIDA-01627
Hi
I have two questions regarding the new TIDA-01627 Reference design:
1. On Page 4 (Section 2.2.1) it says "The TPS65983B has been specifically chosen because it provides higher memory along with an endpoint to add a state machine, which controls the BQ25703A device and allows the user to update the firmware, respectively"
Nowhere else in the document is any reference to the SPI Flash seen in the schematic. So the TPS65983B doesn't have any memory (if I am not mistaken) and uses the SPI Flash?!
2. Is it possible to create a device using two of these reference designs? If yes,
-are they both simply connected to the same battery and only allow one sink at a time
-can they make use of BQ25703A's PowerPath management to reduce battery wear
Can you save on parts (f.e. just one 3.3V DCDC Converter or maybe even just one BC25703A)?
Thank you so much,
Karim
