bq25176M 800mA Linear Battery Charger Texas Instruments bq25176M 800mA Linear Battery Charger is an integrated linear solar charger for 1-cell Li-Ion, LiFePO4, and Li-Polymer batteries with continual charge mode and battery tracking VINDPM. The device has a single power output that charges the battery. When the system load is placed in parallel with the battery, the charge current is shared between the battery and the system. The device has four phases for charging a Li-Ion/Li-Poly battery. Trickle charge is used to bring the battery voltage up to VBAT_SHORT. Precharge is used to recover a fully discharged battery. Fast-charge constant current is used to supply the bulk of the charge and voltage regulation to reach full capacity.
