BQ25606: POWER PATH MANAGEMENT

Part Number: BQ25606
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ25600

I'd like to know if the BQ25600 has a feature that When battery is fully charged, the system will not source from the battery (battery won't charge as well) and it will directly get its power from the supply

  • Hello,

    As shown in Section 9.3.4.1 of the datasheet, "When battery charging is disabled and above the minimum system voltage setting or charging is terminated, the system is always regulated at typically 50 mV above the battery voltage." If battery charging is disabled or terminated, the SYS load will be supplied from the input. However, it will regulate typical 50 mV above the battery (in other words it will go through the buck converter).

    Regards,
