PRODUCTION DATA.
In high current charging systems, extra resistance between the charger output and the battery contribute to power loss and temperature rise. The BQ25910 regulates the output current without the need of a sense resistor, thereby reducing system power loss and operating temperature. Switching FET current information is used in conjunction to inductor DCR sensing to regulate output current accurately. For optimal operation, the voltage drop across the DCR should be below 180 mV. For example, to achieve 6-A charging, the DCR should be below 30 mΩ. In addition to lossless current regulation, the switching FET current is monitored on a cycle-by-cycle basis to ensure safe operation.
