BQ25601: Flavor of bq2560x that will have ILIM, ISET and i2c access?

Part Number: BQ25601
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ24250

Hello!

Is there going to be a variant of the bq2560x that will have resistor programming of Input Current Limit (ILIM), Charge Current Limit (ISET) and have a i2c interface? 

Thanks!

Jason

  • Jason,

    Unfortunately the bq2560x family is either stand alone with ILIM and ISET or I2C controlled. bq24250 2-A charger is both I2C and standalone.
  • Hi Jeff, 

    We are currently using the 24250 and were looking to upgrade. Sounds like it's best to stick with what we have... not for a lack of trying over the past couple years :)

    We like the higher charger current, larger input voltage, reverse current blocking and PG pin on the newer parts. We just need hardware and software control of the part. 

    Thanks again Jeff, 

    Jason

  • Jason,

    I will forward your request to our development team. If we get enough requests, we might spin the bq2560x into a dual mode. Regarding the bq24250, it has the same reverse current blocking as bq2560x and you can using the LDO output as PG indicator.

  • Hi Jeff,

    Thanks again for the feedback! I missed the reverse current blocking.. or perhaps it's just now a nice marketing bullet point in the bq2560x :). Yes, the LDO works nicely for PG.

    Thanks for making the marketing / presales aspect of e2e work well
