BQ24770: Possibility to switch off bq24770RUY

Part Number: BQ24770


Hi Team,

one of our customer is using the bq24770RUY in an industrial PC.

After shutting down the PC they want to disconnect the battery charger from the battery.

- is there a possibility to switch off the bq24770?

- can they use BATPRES for this use case?

- there target is to reach 0uA  Leakage current from the battery

Thanks for your support.

Best Regards

Martin 

  • Martin,

    Yes. They can disable the charge (set charger current to zero) while shutting down the PC. Also, they can use BATPRES pin to reset charge current to zero.

    BTW, BATFET has a body diode which can pass a current from the battery to the system even the BATFET is off.
