3 Description

The BQ25960H is a 98.1 peak efficiency, 8-A

battery charging solution using switch capacitor

architecture for 1-cell Li-ion battery. The switched cap

architecture allows the cable current to be half the

charging current, reducing the cable power loss, and

limiting temperature rise. The dual-phase architecture

increases charging efficiency and reduces the input

and output cap requirements. When used with a main

charger such as BQ2561x or BQ2589x, the system

enables full charging cycle from trickle charge to

termination with low power loss at Constant Current

(CC) and Constant Voltage (CV) Mode.

The BQ25960H supports 5-A Bypass Mode charge

(previously called battery switch charge) through

internal MOSFETs. The Rdson in Bypass Mode

charging path is 21 mΩ for high-current operation.

The integrated Bypass Mode allows backward

compatibility of 5-V fast charging adapter to charge

1-cell battery.

The device supports dual input configuration through

integrated mux control and driver for external N-FETs.

It also allows single input with no external N-FET or

single N-FET.
