This device is a linear lithium Ion battery charger with a built in ADC. It allows for variable input voltage while charging. This feature enables the efficient charging scheme outlined in this report. The device has a built in ADC that monitors multiple pins including battery voltage (VBAT), battery temperature (TS), an external ADC channel (ADCIN). There is also three comparators that enable many different functions including an over-temperature battery discharge function covered in the application note here. The device also has an interrupt pin that can trigger an MCU interrupt on many different flags. This flag based interrupt system is used to enable the interrupt driven communication that is outlined in this paper. To maximize the shelf life of the earbuds, the BQ25155 shipmode has an ultra-low current consumption of 10 nA. Space-constrained applications benefit from the BQ25155's 12-mm2 solution size. For this application, the VINDPM feature of the BQ25155 was disabled to allow charging at low VIN.
