BQ78350-R1: Interfacing with bq76920 and charger

Part Number: BQ78350-R1
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ76920, , BQ24171, BQ24170, BQ24172

Hello TI Experts,

I have one simple question concerning bq78350-R1. I want to use this controller in order to control balancing procedure. I want to conduct balancing using bq76920. Does the controller also takes care about charging procedure? I mean charging with constant current and then with constant voltage? If a charger is needed then are you able to recommend me some simple solution.

Here are few details about my application.

I want to charge the 3 cell Li-Ion battery pack.: 4250mAh 3S 11.1V LiIon

Each cell is: SANYO NCR20700B 4250mAh Li-ION 3,7V 20,4x70,3mm 15A

I don't need a high charging current, but it would be a nice feature.

In the future I will have to implement similar solution for Li-pol 2600mAh 4S 14.8V 50C LiPo. Can I use the same ICs, with slightly different setup?

I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,

Jakub
