3 Description

The BQ25856-Q1 is an automotive grade, wide

input voltage, switched-mode buck-boost Li-Ion,

Li-polymer, or LiFePO4 battery charge controller

with bidirectional power flow support. The device

offers high-efficiency battery charging over a wide

voltage range with accurate charge current and

charge voltage regulation, in addition to automatic

charge preconditioning, termination, and charge

status indication. The device integrates all the loop

compensation for the buck-boost converter, thereby

providing a high density solution with ease of use.

In reverse mode, the device draws power from the

battery and regulates the input terminal voltage with

an added constant current loop for protection.

Besides the I2C host-controlled charging mode, the

device also supports standalone charging mode via

resistor programmable limits. Input current, charge

current and charge voltage regulation targets can be

set via the ILIM_HIZ, ICHG and FB pins, respectively.
