I am looking for an IC with the following features
switch-mode single battery charge management and system Power Path management device for Li-Ion and Li-polymer battery
boost the battery voltage from 2.5V (typical) to 4.6 V - 5.15 V at 1A output current (highest efficiency)
safety features for battery charging and system operations
info about battery status (voltage and current)
control interface - Standalone (RC-Settable) and not just i2c
The BQ25898D IC looks good according to me. Any other better IC for this application?
