BQ76200: Push Button for boot in datasheet

Part Number: BQ76200
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ76920, TIDA-00792

Dear Sir/Ms.

What is the purpose of this button in the picture? How to boot? BQ76200 is packaged in the battery pack, how to use this function? Can I remove this button?

Best Regards,

Kami Huang

  • Hi Kami,

    The button is used to start the BQ76920 from sleep, it powers up, provides the REGOUT which would power the MCU.  The push button is a simple concept but requires manual action.  See the application note bq769x0 boot switch alternatives for some options.  With the BQ76200 high side switch a boot signal is needed which is powered externally or is related to PACK+.  See TIDA-00792 for an example.
