This battery charger reference design is for a 20-VIN, 140-W notebook personal computer (PC), featuring the BQ25720 1-to-4 cell narrow voltage DC (NVDC) buck-boost battery charge controller. This battery charger delivers 140-W with 97.2% efficiency and fits in a compact 1-in × 1.3-in (25.4-mm × 33.0-mm) form factor. The high-density design uses our dual field effect transistor (FET) CSD87352 and reduces the design size by 40% compared to a discrete FET design. Due to the low thermal resistance of our dual FETs, the device temperature is kept low, even with a smaller design size. This reference design is for notebook PCs where high power, high efficiency and high density are top priorities. The design supports a 1-to-4S battery and accepts a wide input range such as USB Type-C® Power Delivery (PD) sources and traditional adapters.
