PRODUCTION DATA
The BQ25710 is a Narrow VDC buck-boost charger controller for portable electronics such as notebook, detachable, ultrabook, tablet and other mobile devices with rechargeable batteries. It provides seamless transition among different converter operation modes (buck, boost, or buck boost), fast transient response, and high light load efficiency.
BQ25710 supports wide range of power sources, including USB PD ports, legacy USB ports, traditional ACDC adapters, etc. It takes input voltage from 3.5 V to 24 V, and charges battery of 1-4 series. In the absence of an input source, BQ25710 supports USB On-the-Go (OTG) function from 1-4 cell battery to generate adjustable 3 V ~ 20.8 V at USB port with 8mV resolution. The OTG output voltage transition slew rate can be configurable, which complies with the USB Power Delivery 3.0 PPS specifications.
When only the battery powers the system and no external load is connected to the USB OTG port, BQ25710 provides the Vmin Active Protection (VAP) feature. In the VAP operation, BQ25710 first charges up the voltage of the input decoupling capacitors at VBUS to store a certain amount of energy. During the system peak power spike, the huge current drawn from the battery introduces a larger voltage drop across the impedance from the battery to the system. Then the energy stored in the input capacitors will supplement the system, to prevent the system voltage from drooping below the minimum system voltage and leading the system to black screen. This VAP is designed to absorb system power peaks during the periods of high demand to improve the system turbo performance, which is highly recommended by Intel for the platforms with 1S~2S battery.
BQ25710 features Dynamic Power Management (DPM) to limit the input power and avoid AC adapter overloading. During battery charging, as the system power increases, the charging current will reduce to maintain total input current below adapter rating. If system power demand temporarily exceeds adapter rating, BQ25710 supports NVDC architecture to allow battery discharge energy to supplement system power. For details, refer to Section 9.6.5.1.
In order to be compliant with an Intel IMVP8 / IMVP9 compliant system, BQ25710 includes PSYS function to monitor the total platform power from adapter and battery. Besides PSYS, it provides both an independent input current buffer (IADPT) and a battery current buffer (IBAT) with highly accurate current sense amplifiers. If the platform power exceeds the available power from adapter and battery, a PROCHOT signal is asserted to CPU so that the CPU optimizes its performance to the power available to the system.
The SMBus controls input current, charge current and charge voltage registers with high resolution, high accuracy regulation limits. It also sets the PROCHOT timing and threshold profile to meet system requirements.
