General Description
The bq2954 Li-Ion Charge-Manage
-
ment IC uses a flexible pulse-width
modulation regulator to control volt
-
age and current during charging.
The regulator frequency is set by an
external capacitor for design flexi
-
bility. The switch-mode design mini
-
mizes power dissipation.
For safety, the bq2954 inhibits fast
charging until the battery voltage
and temperature are within config
-
ured limits. If the battery voltage is
less than the low-voltage threshold,
the bq2954 provides low-current
conditioning of the battery.
For charge qualifiction, the bq2954
uses an external thermistor to mea-
sure battery temperature. Charging
begins when power is applied or the
battery is inserted
The bq2954 charges a battery in two
phases. First a constant-current
phase replenishes approximately
70% of battery capacity. Then a volt
-
age-regulation phase completes the
battery charge.
The bq2954 provides status indica
-
tions of all charger states and faults
for accurate determination of the
battery and charge-system condi
-
tions.
