Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ25100
Hi,
I'm working on a Li-ion/Poly battery charger design that includes the following power sources:
a Solar panel driving a 5.5Vdc / 5~30mA ( would like to charge at the lowest current possible supported by the charger IC)
a USB-C voltage connector ( we limit the current to 0.5A)
the required charge voltage is 4.2Vdc
I'm looking for a suitable charger IC to support both sources and especially - would operate in the low currents of the Solar panel and would limit to 0.5A when on USB.
Additional requirements - a "Standalone" solution (RC-settable), minimum peripheral components, can be a "linear" type (not switching - to minimize noise)
One of the candidates who came is the BQ24210 - would it meet the needs?
Thanks
