TIDA-00590, Dual Battery Charger IC Reference Design (connected in cascade Configuration)

TIDA-00590, Dual Battery Charger IC Reference Design (connected in cascade Configuration). Higher capacity 1S batteries in the latest SmartPhones and tablets need higher charge currents to charge faster. With 12-V power sources, two 5-A battery charger ICs connected in cascade, parallel configuration can provide more than 5-A charging current. In addition, the heat from the charger's power losses are distributed across your PCB
