Description
The PM6610 is a high efficiency battery charger
with SMBus communication interface. It includes
a synchronous switching DC-DC converter with
N-channel high-side and low-side Power
MOSFET drivers. The possibility to set the
switching frequency with SMBus by choosing one
of the two preset values of 350 kHz or 700 kHz
assures the best trade-off between power
conversion efficiency and application component
cost and PCB size.
Integrated loop compensation network and softstart allow the reduction of the number of external
components.
The PM6610 integrates 2 charge pumps to drive
N-channel BATFET and RBFET MOSFETs.
The SMBus communication interface is used to
set the battery charge current and voltage.
The PM6610 charges 2 to 4-series Li-Ion or
LiFePO4 cells, for mobile PC applications. It is
available on a 16-pin, 3x3 mm, QFN package.
