BQ24773: typical charging profile missing

Part Number: BQ24773
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ24610

hi all,

I went quickly through the BQ24773 datasheet but I couldn't find any section related to the typical chargin profile (more or less the same for all the chargers).

In particular the precharge timer details.

hope you may prove me wrong :)

thanks a lot in advance

  • Hi Vincenzo,

    The pre-charge current information is given in the EC table. Section 8.6.6 in the datasheet also provides some further explanation on this.

    When VBAT < BATLOWV (for 1-cell charging) or VBAT < VSYS_MIN (for 2-4 cell charging), the battery charge current is clamped below 384 mA. VBAT must rise above these voltage thresholds in order for the BQ24773 to apply the full fast charge current.

    Best regards,

  • hi Angelo,

    I agree but I miss the timer :)

    Something like the "Figure 13. Typical Charging Profile" in BQ24610 datasheet, where precharge timeout is stated in electrical table (1800s +/-20%)

  • Hi Vincenzo,

    The BQ24773 does not have a pre-charge safety timer or a fast charge safety timer. These features are not necessary on the BQ24773 because it is a host-controlled charger, unlike the BQ24610 that you mentioned (which is standalone).

    Best regards,

    Angelo
