Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ24773
I want to choose a battery charging chip, my requirements are:
Input voltage:DC12V
Max recharging current:5A
battery:3S 18650 cell
voltage of battery package:11.1A
I2C Communication
Overcurrent protection
I find both BQ25713 and BQ24773 meet the requirements.
My question is:if I use the BQ24773,should I increase an extra boost circuit at input port?
Which is the better solution:BQ25713 or BQ24773 with a boost IC,or other IC?
