LM5176-Q1: Is there a way to charge 3A CC-mode? -LM5176-Q1

Part Number: LM5176-Q1
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LM5176, BQ24616

I will design a battery charging circuit with the LM5176.

I want to charge 3A CC-mode, is it possible?

If Hiccup or Average Current Limit is off, the current will flow over 3A without limitation.
And if I turn on the two functions, I think that the current will rise and the charging will end at 3A.
In general, the battery will be charged by CC-CV, so the cut-off time will be very short.

I cannot use Chager IC because I have to use AEC-Q100 certified product.
As far as I know, BQ24616 etc. do not have AEC-Q100.

Is there a way to charge 3A CC-mode?

Vin: 10 ~ 16V, Vout: 14.6V / 3A, and there is an immutable fuse in the Vin line, so you must limit the current.

    Hi BAKE KI,

    Thank you for reaching out with your question and for considering the LM5176 in your design.

    The LM5176 can be configured to output a constant current using the average current limiting feature. Placing a resistor between the ISNS+ and ISNS- pin will limit the current when the voltage drop across the resistor is 50mV.

    Please let me know if you have any other questions.

    Thanks,

    Garrett

    Thank you so much for answering.

    The battery capacity is 7.2 Ah.
    What resistance should I use for 3A CC charging?

    If you use 0.015 ohm for the sensing resistance between ISNS + and ISNS -...
    Is 45mV when charging at 3A, and 51mV at 3.4A to cut off the current?

    If it is correct ... I think that as soon as the charging starts, the current will flow more than 3.4A, and the charging will end within a few seconds.

    Hi BAKE KI,

    It is possible to add multiple resistors in parallel to set a static current limit for the average output current. 17mOhm will set the typical output current to 3A

    Please let me know if you have any questions.

    Thanks,

    Garrett

    3.3A CC-Mode operation was confirmed by applying a 15mΩ resistor.
    All thanks to you.

    Can the input current be maintained at 3A by changing the 15mΩ resistor position to Input?

    BAKE KI,

    Yes moving the resistor to the input voltage rail will be used to limit the input current.

    Thanks,

    Garrett
