ZHCSJZ6D June 2019 – December 2021 BQ25618 , BQ25619
PRODUCTION DATA
The device supports boost converter operation to deliver power from the battery to other portable devices through a USB port. The output voltage is regulated at 5 V (programmable 4.6/4.75/5.0/5.15 V) and output current is up to 1 A. The user needs to have at least 350 mV between VBAT and Boost mode regulation voltage (VBST) to power up Boost mode reliably. For example, the BOOSTV[1:0] setting is recommended to be 4.75 V or higher if the battery voltage is 4.4 V.
Boost operation is enabled if the conditions below are valid:
During Boost mode, the status register VBUS_STAT bits are set to 111.
The converter supports PFM operation at light load in Boost mode. The PFM_DIS bit can be used to disable PFM operation in boost configuration.
The BQ25619/618 keeps the Q1 FET off during Boost mode. During adapter plug-in or removal, the charger automatically transitions between charging mode and Boost mode by setting the BST_CONFIG bit and CHG_CONFIG bit both to 1. When the adapter plugs in and the conditions to start a new charge cycle are valid, the device is in charging mode. If the adapter is removed and the boost enable conditions are valid, the device transits to Boost mode to power the accessories connected to PMID automatically.
