PRODUCTION DATA.
The TPS6572x integrates a Li-Ion linear charger and system power-path management targeted at space-limited portable applications. The TPS6572x powers the system while simultaneously and independently charging the battery. This feature reduces the number of charge and discharge cycles on the battery, allows for proper charge termination and enables the system to run with a defective or absent battery pack. It also allows instant system turnon even with a totally discharged battery. The input power source for charging the battery and running the system can be an AC adapter or an USB port. The power-path management feature automatically reduces the charging current if the system load increases. The power-path architecture also permits the battery to supplement the system current requirements when the adapter cannot deliver the peak system currents.
