Highly-integrated 5A switch-mode battery charge management device

This post is sponsored by Texas Instruments. The bq25895 from Texas Instruments (TI) is a highly-integrated 5A switch-mode battery charge management and system power path management device for single cell Li-Ion and Li-polymer battery. The devices support high input voltage fast charging. The low impedance power path optimizes switch-mode operation efficiency, reduces battery charging time and extends battery life during discharging phase. The I2C Serial interface with charging and system settings makes the device a notably flexible solution, says the company.
