This reference design is a low cost and highly-integrated stand-alone USB Type-C® power delivery (PD) charger reference design for 4- to 7-cell, 900mA battery chargers for applications such as power tool chargers, vacuum cleaners with USB Type-C port input, and so forth. The design incorporates the TPS25730D, a highly-integrated USB Type C PD controller, which includes a fully-managed robust power path switch inside and removes the external E2PROM without firmware effort, using a simple resistor string to configure the power profile. The BQ25756E supports a wide-range input with four-switch buck-boost configuration, and supports seamless transition from buck, boost, and buck-boost operation mode to provide a high efficiency, reliable charger design and achieve 96% peak efficiency.
