3 Description

The BQ25980 is a 98.6% peak efficiency, 8-A battery

charging solution using dual-phase switched cap

architecture for 2-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 BQ25790, the system enables the

fast charging at the very low power loss from precharge

through constant current (CC), constant

voltage (CV), and termination.

The BQ25980 also supports 7-A bypass mode charge

(previously called battery switch charge) through

internal MOSFETs. The Rdson in bypass mode

charging path is less than 13mΩ for high current

operation. The integrated bypass mode allows

backward compatibility of 10-V fast charging adapter

to charge 2-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.
