DescriptionThe bq2005 Fast-Charge IC provides comprehensive fast charge control functions together with high-speed switching power control circuitry on a monolithicCMOS device for sequential charge management in dual battery packapplications.
Integration of closed-loop current control circuitry allows the bq2005 to be the basis of a cost-effective solution for stand-alone and system-integrated chargers for batteries of oneormorecells.
Switch-activated discharge-before charge allows bq2005-based chargers to support battery conditioning and capacitydetermination.
High-efficiency power conversion is accomplished using the bq2005 as a hysteretic PWM controller for switch-mode regulation of the charging current. The bq2005 may alterna-tively be used to gate an externally regulatedchargingcurrent.
Fast charge of bq2005 may begin on application of the charging supply, replacement of the battery, or switch depression. For safety, fast charge is inhibited unless/until the battery temperature and voltage are within configuredlimits.
Temperature, voltage, and time of bq2005 are monitored throughout fast charge.Fast charge is terminated by any of thefollowing:

After fast charge, optional top-off and pulsed current maintenance phasesareavailable.
