bq25980 8A Battery Charging Solution Texas Instruments bq25980 8A Battery Charging Solution is a 98.6% peak efficiency battery charging solution using dual-phase switched cap architecture for a 2-cell Li-ion battery. The switched cap architecture allows the cable current to be half the charging current, reducing the cable power loss and limiting temperature rise. The dual-phase architecture increases charging efficiency and reduces the input and output cap requirements. When used with the main charger such as bq25790, the system enables fast charging at a very low power loss from pre-charge through constant current (CC), constant voltage (CV), and termination.
