PRODUCTION DATA
A typical application consists of the device configured as an I2C controlled power path managementbattery backup device and a multi-cell battery charger for Li-Ion and Li-polymer batteries. It integrates the four switching MOSFETs (Q1 to Q4) for the buck-boost converter, and the battery FET (BATFET) between system and battery. The device also integrates the input current sensing and charging current sensing circuitries, the bootstrap diode for the high-side gate driving and the dual-input power mux for the power sources selection.
The charger's MPPT algorithm allows a simple but efficient interface between the charger and a small photovoltaic panel. The power mux may optionally be used to add a secondary charging port such as a barrel jack or USB input.
For applications that will enable backup mode, it is required that RBFET and ACFET are populated in the input power multiplexer. When backup mode is entered, the ACDRV turns off the RBFET and ACFET to block the converter output from propagating out to the adapter connector. EN_BACKUP cannot be set to 1 to enable backup mode if RBFET and ACFET are not detected at POR.
