3. charge and discharge management mechanism
3.1. Charging management
The CXLB73327 supports complete current elimination & rarr; constant current & rarr; constant voltage & rarr; cut-off & rarr; recharging process:
· current elimination charging: When the battery voltage is lower than 2.5V, pre-charge with a small current of about 50mA; Charge with a current of about 200mA between 2.5V and the current elimination threshold;
· constant current charging: After the battery voltage exceeds the current elimination threshold, perform fast charging according to the set current;
· constant voltage charging: When the battery voltage is close to the set full voltage, it turns to the constant voltage stage, and the current gradually decreases;
· Charge cut-off and recharging: When the current is lower than the termination current (typically 100mA) and lasts for a certain period of time, stop charging; if the battery voltage falls below the set value, automatically restart charging.
The chip can automatically apply for the best voltage and current according to the identified charger type (such as PD, AFC, FCP, SCP, etc.) to realize intelligent adaptation.
