BQ24401: Ni-MH battery

Part Number: BQ24401

Hi,

    I have been looking for 1~4 AA size Ni-MH charging IC. I have chosen for BQ24401 for my appliication.

Max current capacity of the battery: 2500mAh

Max voltage of the battery: 4.8V( 4 batteries connected in series)

1. Is BQ24401 suitable  for above specification?

2.Can BQ24401 supports load and charging parallely?

If it doesn't support, Please recommend charging IC

Thanks,

  • Murugavel,

    Please refer to the Fig .7 of the datasheet of BQ24401, you can design the charger to charge 4 batteries in series. However, the charger does not have power path supporting load and charging in parallel. TI does not have dedicated NiMH charger with power path.
