Balanced charge of 2 serial Li-ion in 4.2V

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ24650

Hi there,

We are facing the problem to pick a battery charge IC to fulfill the following function:

2 serial 4.2V Li-ion batteries need to be charged in balance. The charging power supply comes from usb vcc. Is there any chip family can support this demand?

Thank you,

  • Hi Baohu,

    Sorry for the delay.

    Currently there are no boost chargers in our portfolio as I assume you want to charge from 5V USB input source to an output of 6V-8.4V battery.

    You can, however, use the bq24650 and modify it to a boost charger by following this app note  .

    Regards,

    Steven
