The BQ25731
is a synchronous buck-boost battery charge controller to charge a 1- to 5-cell battery from a wide range of input sources including USB adapter, high
voltage USB-C Power Delivery (PD) sources, and traditional adapters. It offers a low
component count, high efficiency solution for space constrained, 1- to 5-cell battery
charging applications. During power
up, the charger sets the converter to a buck, boost, or buck-boost configuration based on
the input source and battery conditions. The charger seamlessly transits between the buck,
boost, and buck-boost operation modes without host control.
