TI introduces single-chip buck-boost battery charge controllers enabling USB Type-C™ and USB Power Delivery support

New battery algorithm provides maximum input power for 1S to 4S applications

DALLAS, July 18, 2017 — (PRNewswire) —  Texas Instruments (TI) (NASDAQ: TXN) today introduced a pair of highly flexible, single-chip buck-boost battery charge controllers for one- to four-cell (1S to 4S) designs. The bq25703A and bq25700A synchronous charge controllers support efficient charging through USB Type-C and other USB ports in end equipment ranging from notebooks and tablets to power banks, drones and smart home applications. To learn more about the bq25703A and bq25700A, see www.ti.com/bq25703A-pr and www.ti.com/bq25700A-pr.

New battery algorithm provides maximum input power for 1S to 4S applications

Supporting both I2C and SMBus interfaces, the bq25703Aand bq25700A feature a new advanced battery algorithm enabling full power output by adding intelligence to battery charging through maximum power point tracking technology. The unique algorithm, referred to as input current optimization (ICO), automatically detects the full capacity of input power to optimize current, while maintaining consistent system and charging current to ensure the utilization of maximum input power.

Key features and benefits

The bq25703A and bq25700A expand TI's portfolio of industry-leading battery-charger solutions, offering switch-mode fast chargers and linear chargers for a broad variety of applications and power levels.

Tools and support
Designers can use the bq25700A evaluation module (EVM) to easily evaluate device features and performance and speed time to market. The bq25703A EVM and the bq25700A EVM  are available from the TI store and authorized distributors for US$149.00. Designers can use the WEBENCH® Battery Charger Designer to calculate the efficiency of the battery charge controller.

Availability, packaging and pricing
The bq25703A and bq25700A charge controllers are now available through the TI store and authorized distributors. Offered in a 4-mm-by-4-mm, 32-pin quad flat no-lead (QFN) package, the controllers are priced at US$2.20 in 1,000-unit quantities.
