Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ25798, BQ24210
I've been playing around with the BQ25505 for some time now and I get mixed results. I really like this device because of its multiplexing capability. I would like your thoughts on the best parameters to charge a small lithium cell.
I have here a Voltaic solar panel (pn: p124) that has:
- Vmp: 6.07V
- Voc: 7.09V
- Imp: 0.20A
- Isc: 0.22A
I understand that I need a clamping diode to keep it under 5.1V.
I've read a number of different posts about where I should clamp it down to. 3v? 4.1V?
If I clamp the voltage, what should my MPPT be set to? Should be set to what the voltage is clamped to? or 80% of that voltage?
Is this the most optimal panel for this job?
What kind of VBAT_OV, VBAT_OK, and VBAT_OK_HYST would be best for this panel?
If this isn't the best panel for the job....what kind of parameters should I be looking for in a solar panel?
and with that different panel, what kind of VBAT_OV, VBAT_OK, and VBAT_OK_HYST should I consider for it?
My circuits are copies of the reference design of the eval board.
Thanks for your help.
