Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ25186, BQ25170
Tool/software:
Ref.: BQ25176J and bi-directional load switch
- Can the LEDs for PG and STAT to IN, if the max Vin is less than 6V?
- What is the state of PG and STAT in the absence of Vin (open-drain off – three state)?
- What is the current taken from the battery if no Vin and the battery is disconnected from the system (a kind of SHIP Mode)?
- Can you recommend a 1 cell LiPo charger with ship mode, but in a package not too big and which will not require VIA in PAD (QFN?) I do not need more than 300mA for charging. I am looking to lower the bare PCB cost
BQ25186 looks a good fit for this application, but it is in Preview state. When will its production start? Are samples available?
Is any bi-directional LOAD SWITCH available? One option will be to disconnect the battery from the charger
Thanks,
