BQ25176M: The purpose of BIAS pin

Part Number: BQ25176M

Tool/software:

Hi Team,

I would like to realize the purpose of BIAS pin, I understand it could be applied as shutdown "switch". But if I connect it to GND with resistor, what is the function of BIAS pin at this time?

  • Hi Kailun

    The BQ25176M is designed for Solar Charging and Energy Harvesting applications that do not require a TS function.  Some of the TS pin features are still available, as you noted shutdown.  But a 10k resistor to ground is required for normal operation.
