[FAQ] BQ25890: Why does ICHG reduce when reaching the maximum duty cycle for the BQ25890, BQ25890H, BQ25892, BQ25895, BQ25895M, BQ25896, BQ25898, BQ25898D, BQ24190, BQ24192, BQ24195, BQ24195L, BQ24196, BQ24295, BQ24296, BQ24296M, BQ24259?

Part Number: BQ25890

The charger is basically a step-down DC-DC (buck) converter. It requires the input voltage to be higher than the output voltage with some headroom for normal operations.

  • The maximum duty cycle specification is one of the factors determines the maximum output voltage at a fixed input voltage. Users should avoid maximum duty cycle operations in their applications by setting VINDPM and IINDPM thresholds correctly.
  • Please refer to Extract maximum power from the supply when charging a battery (www.ti.com/.../slyt569.pdf) for the details.
