Description

The bq2420x series are simple Li-Ion linear charge management devices targeted at low-cost and space limited charger applications. The bq2420x series offer integrated powerFET,high-accuracy voltage regulation, temperature monitoring, charge status, and charge termination, in a single monolithic device.

The bq2420x is designed to work with a current-limited wall-mount transformer and therefore does not provide any current regulation.However, these devices offer a fixed internal current limit to prevent damage to the internal powerFET. A time-limited pre-conditioning phase is provided to condition deeply discharged cells.Once the battery reaches the charge voltage, the high accuracy voltage regulation loop takes over and completes the charge cycle. Charge of BQ24201 is terminated based on minimum current. An internal charge timer provides a backup safety for charge termination.
