Hi Team, Is this possible with the BQ25120 or another part?
I would but unfortunately all the ones with I2C control in TI’s range cannot do 60mA or less charging current, or the input current limit (power path), including tolerance, is ~400mA – I would need 500mA minimum. Input voltage would be 5V nominal.
Not having I2C interface would be the first thing to trade-off but that causes other problems in terms of available GPIO pins and implemented functions (mains disconnected detection). So not having it would not be great either.
Perhaps another trade-off could be not having power path and to have discrete input current limit.
Please let me know if there is something I have missed.
