BQ25622: part recommendation

Part Number: BQ25622
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ25790, BQ25798, BQ25792, BQ24179, USB-PD-CHG-EVM-01

Hi Customer Chamberlain is asking for battery charger IC.  What do you recommend for following:

Vin=5V

Vout=5.6V-8.2V, Typ : 7.4V

Charging current is 3A

charging port is type C                

I have asked more specifics about the battery however waiting reply. This BQ25622 looks to be good for the application. What is your opinion?  Anything better? 

Thank you,

HSG       

  • Hi HSG,

    Unfortunately the BQ25622 is a one-cell device and your output is indicating two-cell behavior. There are several families of parts that support the application:

    1. BQ25798, BQ25792, BQ24179, BQ25790 are 4-cell integrated buck-boost converters with 5 A charge current. This family has a reference design with integration with TI PD Controller as USB-PD-CHG-EVM-01.

    2. BQ2571x, BQ2570x are 4-cell charge controllers with 8.128 A charge current.

    3. BQ2572x/3x are 4-cell charge controllers with 16 A charge current.

    Although 1 is a good option, it has input current limit of ~3 A. So charging at 3 A at a higher voltage would exceed that when boosting. As such I would stick with options 2-3.
