采用BQ24170设计电路充电电流2A,若adapter可提供的电流不足2A,会怎么样呢?BQ24170电路设计会不会造成adapter超载呢?

  • Hi YJ,

    The device has input current regulation which you can refer to in datasheet page 16 section 9.3.4. You can set input current limit to 2A to avoid overloading the adapter.

  • 正常情况下我需要2A充电电流,而且适配器可满足。但是有的情况,电流从其他通道过来,小于2A,我是想确认这个情况会不会造成超载?如果我设置current limit to 2A,是不是充电电流也会限制到2A?不能更大电流充电了?

  • Hi YJ,

    Input current limit is on the adapter side. Since this is a buck charger, if your adapter can provide 2A current, your max charge current will be higher than 2A.

    If you set input current limit to 2A and then use a adapter has lower current capability than 2A, your adapter output voltage will droop and eventually crash.

    If you want to avoid this happening, then you will need a charger with input voltage regulation or VINDPM. I suggest you take a look at BQ25672 which has both input current and voltage regulation function.
