Host-controlled Multi-chemistry Battery Charger with Low Input Power Detect (Rev. A)
Texas Instruments
Description
The bq24740 is a high-efficiency, synchronous battery charger with integrated compensation and system power selector logic, offering low component count for space-constrained multi-chemistry battery charging applications. Ratiometric charge current and voltage programming allows very high regulation accuracies, and can be either hardwired with resistors or programmed by the system power-management microcontroller using a DAC or GPIOs. The bq24740 charges two, three, or four series Li+ cells, supporting up to 10 A of charge current, and is available in a 28-pin, 5x5-mm thin QFN package. The bq24740 features Dynamic Power Management (DPM) and input power limiting. These features reduce battery charge current when the input power limit is reached to avoid overloading the AC adapter when supplying the load and the battery charger simultaneously. A highly-accurate current-sense amplifier enables precise measurement of input current from the AC adapter to monitor the overall system power. If the adapter current is above the programmed low-power threshold, a signal is sent to host so that the system optimizes its power performance according to what is available from the adapter.
