BQ25895: About Multiple Charge option and USB Charge

Part Number: BQ25895

Tool/software:

Hello,

In our Sensor Node project, we are using BQ25895 as a Li-Ion battery charger. We also charge battery from the SMPS output in our project.

The schematic is attached.

So how can we implement USB charge to our system as a charge option?

In our design, there is only one USB connector, and connector data pins are connected to the MCU. How can we design a fast charge feature with only one USB interface?

Best regards,

Egemen Aksoy

  • Hi Egemen, 

    Please see my comments below. 

    If you wish to use USB D+/D- lines for USB BC1.2  input type detection you will need to use a multiplexer to initially isolate the D+/D- lines from the MCU. Our BQ25895EVM board uses a multiplexer. The schematic is on page 18 of the BQ25895EVM User's Guide found on TI.com. 

    If you do not wish for BC1.2 detection you can leave D+/D- pins open or short them together to set input current limit to either 500mA or 1.5A. Additionally input current limit can be further modified via I2C in REG00. 

    Best Regards,
