Texas Instruments bq25756E Buck-Boost Battery Charge Controller

Texas Instruments bq25756E Buck-Boost Battery Charge Controller is a wide input voltage, switched-mode buck-boost Li-Ion, Li-polymer, or LiFePO4 battery charge controller with bidirectional power flow support. The device offers accurate charge current and charge voltage regulation, high-efficiency battery charging over a wide voltage range, termination and charge status indication, and automatic charge preconditioning. The device integrates all the loop compensation for the buck-boost converter, providing a high-density solution with ease of use. The device draws power from the battery in reverse mode. It regulates the input terminal voltage with an added constant current limit for protection, supporting the USB-PD EPR power profile.

Besides the I2C host-controlled charging mode, the Texas Instruments bq25756E supports a standalone charging mode via resistor programmable limits. Input current, charge voltage regulation, and charge current targets can be set via the ILIM_HIZ, ICHG, and FB pins, respectively.
