DESCRIPTION
The bq24721 is a high efficiency synchronous
battery pack charger with high level of integration for
portable applications. This device implements a high
performance analog front-end that interfaces to the
system power management micro-controller through
a simplified SBS-like SMBus interface.
Programmable Battery Voltage, Charge
Current, and AC Adapter Current via SBS-Like
SMBus Interface

•
0.4% Charge Voltage Regulation Accuracy
3% Charge Current Regulation Accuracy
The dynamic power management (DPM) function
modifies the charge current depending on system
load conditions, avoiding ac adapter overload.
3% Adapter Current Regulation Accuracy
Dynamic Power Management (DPM)
High accuracy current sense amplifiers enable
accurate measurement of either the charge current
or the ac adapter current, allowing termination of
nonsmart packs and monitoring of overall system
power.

3-Cell and 4-Cell Li-Ion Voltage Regulation
9 V, 12 V–14.4 V, 16 V–19.2 V
Battery Pack Voltage Operating Range
0 V–19.2 V
The adapter isolation diode can be bypassed or
entirely replaced with an external MOSFET using a
control signal provided by the bq24721, thus
reducing overall power dissipation.

•
AC Adapter Operating Range 8 V–28 V
99.5% Max Duty Cycle
Integrated features such as charger soft start, charge
overcurrent protection, and IC temperature
monitoring provide a second level of protection, in
addition to pack and system protection functions.

(1) SBS-Like interface is not 100% SBS compliant. SBS-Like
interface is SMBus1.1 complaint but does not support Packet
Error Correction (PEC). The control and status registers were
changed to simplify and enhance notebook charger control.
An 8-bit address (0x12) is used. See Table 1 for a
comparison between SBS-like vs SBS Specification.
