1 Introduction
The BQ25792 and BQ25798 (BQ25792/8) is an integrated switched-mode buck-boost battery charge management device in QFN package. It is intended to charge 1- to 4-series cell Li-ion and Li-polymer batteries. The charger features a narrow VDC architecture (NVDC) which allows the system to be regulated to a minimum value even if the battery is completely discharged. Additionally, the BQ25792/8 supports input source detection through D+ and D- which is compatible with USB2.0, USB3.0 power delivery, non-standard adapters, and high voltage adapters. With dual input source selection, USB OTG support, and an integrated 16-bit multi-channel analog-to-digital converter (ADC), the BQ25792/8 is a complete charging solution.
