I need some help find a part solution for my application which is the following:
Computer chipset: Sitara AM3351 with DDR and eMMC:
Currently using TPS65217C to provide regulated voltages
Board VIN = 5V
I am adding a Li-Ion battery to the system and need a way to charge it and manage it (hopefully, using
the TPS65217C already design in). However, I discovered I will need Icharge = 2A or more.
Vbat-max = 4.2V
Vbat-min = 3V
So, I thought I might add the BQ25601 to charge the battery and manage the powerpath. However, I planned
to take the Vsys of the BQ25601 and tie it to VAC of the TPS65217C. And this will work, I think, because the
regulated Vsys voltage around 3.65V of the BQ25601 is below the turn on voltage of the VAC input.
Should I change the way I think about using these parts? Should I use a different battery charge chip? Should
I use a different PMIC?
