Texas Instruments bq25798 I2C Buck-Boost Solar Battery Charger is a fully integrated switch-mode buck-boost charger for 1-4 cell Li-ion batteries and Li-polymer batteries. The integration includes four switching MOSFETs, input and charging current sensing circuits, the battery FET, and all the loop compensation of the buck-boost converter. It uses NVDC power path management, regulating the system not dropping below a configurable minimum system voltage. When system power exceeds the input source rating, battery supplement mode supports the system without overloading the input source. bq25798 also maximizes the power from photovoltaic panels using its built-in VOC scaling MPPT algorithm. bq25798 supports ultra-fast switchover from the adapter to a converted battery voltage in Backup Mode.
The charger supports the narrow VDC power path management, in which the system is regulated at a voltage slightly higher than the battery voltage without being allowed to drop below the minimum system voltage. The minimum system voltage allows the system to operate even when the battery is completely discharged or removed. When system power exceeds the input source rating, battery supplement mode supports the system power requirement without overloading the input source. The device charges a battery from a wide range of input sources, including legacy USB adapter to high voltage USB PD adapter and traditional barrel adapter. The charger automatically sets the converter to be a buck, boost, or buck-boost configuration based on input voltage and battery voltage without the host control. The dual input source selector manages the power flowing from two different input sources. The input selection is controlled by the host through I2C, with default source #1 (VAC1) as the primary input and source #2 (VAC2) as the secondary input.
To support fast charging using an adjustable high voltage adapter, the device provides D+/D- handshake. The device is compliant with USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 power delivery specifications with input current and voltage regulation. In addition, the Input Current Optimizer (ICO) allows the detection of the maximum power point of an unknown input source. The bq25798 also provides a Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithm to optimize the power drawn when connected to a solar cell. Besides the I2C host-controlled charging mode, this charger also supports autonomous charging mode. After power-up, the charging is enabled, with default register settings. The device can complete a charging cycle without any software engagements. It detects the battery voltage and charges the battery in different phases: trickle charging, pre-charging, constant current (CC) charging and constant voltage (CV) charging. At the end of the charging cycle, the charger automatically terminates when the charge current is below a pre-set limit (termination current) in the constant voltage phase. When the full battery falls below the recharge threshold, the charger will automatically start another charging cycle.
In the absence of input sources, this device supports USB On-the-Go (OTG) function, discharging the battery to generate an adjustable 2.8V to 22V voltage on VBUS with a 10mV step size, which is compliant with the USB PD 3.0 specification defined programmable power supply (PPS) feature. The Texas Instruments bq25798 also provides a backup mode to supply a system load at PMID using the adjustable OTG voltage when the adapter is removed. The charger provides various safety features for battery charging and system operations, including battery temperature negative thermistor monitoring, trickle charge, pre-charge and fast charge timers, and over-voltage/overcurrent protections on battery and input. The thermal regulation reduces the charge current when the junction temperature exceeds a programmable threshold. The STAT output of the device reports the charging status and any fault conditions. The PG output indicates if a good power source is present. The INT pin immediately notifies the host when a fault occurs. Texas Instruments bq25798 is available in a 29-pin 4mm × 4mm QFN package.
