BQ25883: Low-Cost Charger IC with Power Path Support for 2S2P (7.4V, 5000mAh) Li-ion Battery, 12V Wall Adapter Input

Tool/software:

Hello TI Team,

We are designing a cost-sensitive embedded device powered by a 2S2P Li-ion battery pack (7.4V nominal, 5000mAh total capacity). The system will be powered primarily via a 12V wall adapter, and we need a low-cost charger IC that meets the following requirements:

• Battery configuration: 2S2P (7.4V, 5000mAh)

• Input source: 12V wall adapter (primary power input)

• Power path support: system should operate even while the battery is charging

• Charge current: up to ~2A or configurable

• Battery protection: integrated or compatible with external protection circuit

• Optional: status LEDs (charging/done/fault), I2C/SPI not mandatory

Please recommend suitable TI charger ICs with evaluation modules (EVMs) if available. Cost-effectiveness is important for our application.

Thank you,
Arun
