Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ25703, TPS65987
Our design has following topology:
Microcontroller – SMBus – TPS65987(USB/PD controller) – SMBus – BQ25703(Battery charger) – Dual channel power path controller – two smart battery packs.
The microcontroller can read status information from both battery packs via SMBus and decide which one is charged first by the BQ.
Can microcontroller control BQ via TSP65987? Charging current depends on the battery status: temperature, voltage and charge level of cells in both battery packs.
TPS65987 related SPI Flash is programmed in production tester. Could we remove the SPI FLASH and how much data the microcontroller must write for initializing TPS and BQ?
