BQ24133: Design question

Part Number: BQ24133

Hi,

1. What happen if using 12V input source to charge 3 cells (12.6V) Li battery with BQ24133?

2. Is it possible to use 12V on BQ24133 AVCC and 15V on PVCC? If yes, what need to watch out?

Thank you.

  • Ken,

    Regarding 1, the charger will only be able to charge the 3 cells up to slightly below 12V.

    Regarding 2, even with 15V on PVCC and 12V on AVCC, you will only be able to charge to ~ AVCC because the charger turns off when the voltage at AVCC is close to the battery voltage (measured at SRN pin). This is the SLEEP comparator with spec VSLEEP.
