Part Number: BQ25856-Q1
Application background:
The BQ25856 is used as the main control chip for charging an 8-cell LFP lithium battery, the max charging current is 20A. Throughout the entire charging process, the output voltage (battery voltage) continuously changes, and the BQ25856 operates in buck mode and buck-boost mode.
Problem:
When the BQ25856 operates in buck mode, the charging module works stably, generates little heat, and has small current ripple.
When the BQ25856 operates in buck-boost mode, the charging module has audible noise, generates a large amount of heat, has large current ripple, and poor EMC characteristics.
