The bq24720/21 evaluation module is a complete charger module for evaluating a multi-cell synchronousnotebook charge and path selection solution using the bq24720/21 devices. It is designed to deliver up to9 A of charge current to Li-Ion or Li-Pol applications.
The bq24720/21 has a highly integrated battery charge controller designed to work with external hostcommands. The battery voltage, charge current, and other system parameters are programmable viaSBS-like SMBus interface.
The dynamic power management (DPM) function SMBus Interface modifies the charge current dependingon system load conditions, avoiding ac adapter overload.
High accuracy current sense amplifiers enable accurate measurement of either the charge current or theac adapter current, allowing termination of nonsmart packs and monitoring of overall system power.
The adapter isolation diode can be bypassed with external an MOSFET using a control signal provided bythe bq24720/21, thus reducing overall power dissipation.
For details, see the bq24720 data sheet (SLUS668 ) and the bq24721 data sheet (SLUS683 ).
