I'm looking at the BQ24195 for a portable USB battery pack. The pack has a USB power port to power accessories and may be simultaneously connected to a power source while charging it's battery.
What I am trying to understand is whether the BQ24195 will seamlessly switch to providing power on PMID when it is powered. That is PMID will only power off of the battery when power is not being supplied to the BQ24195. This is to avoid unnecessary wear and tear on the battery while also seperating charging operation from discharging. Some people refer this to a battery eliminator circuit but that term is used for a lot of different things.
Again my question short and simple, is whether the BQ24195 bypasses the battery to supply power when it is powered (of course charging would still occur in parallel).
Note: I just realized TI refers to this function as Dynamic Power Path Management DPPM. I'm looking to find a solution that has this feature and supports fast charging > 2A.
Thanks,
