Choose a suitable switch: You'll need a simple single-pole, single-throw (SPST) switch. Alternatively, you could use a transistor controlled by a microcontroller or another logic circuit.
-
Connection:
- One terminal of the switch should be connected to the GND (ground).
- The other terminal should be connected to the CE pin (Pin 4) of the BQ24610 via a pull-up resistor. The pull-up resistor ensures that the CE pin is high (charging enabled) when the switch is open.
Example Connection:- CE Pin (Pin 4) to a pull-up resistor (e.g., 10kΩ) which then connects to VCC.
- One terminal of the switch to GND.
- The other terminal of the switch to the CE Pin (Pin 4).
Steps in Flux:- Insert Resistor: Place a 10kΩ pull-up resistor between CE (Pin 4) and VCC (Pin 24).
- Insert Switch: Place an SPST switch between CE (Pin 4) and GND (Pin 17).

Direct Battery Load Connection (Primary Scenario):
- Connect the positive terminal of the battery to the load's positive input.
- Connect the negative terminal of the battery to the load's negative input.
Adding a Load Switch- This is the simplest and most common method. The load is connected directly to the battery terminals.
- When the charger is operating, it charges the battery and supplies power to the load simultaneously.
Connection:- Using a P-channel MOSFET Load Switch:
- The P-channel MOSFET can be used to disconnect the load from the battery during certain conditions, such as when charging is stopped.
Detailed Connections:- Source of the P-channel MOSFET connected to the positive terminal of the battery.
- Drain of the P-channel MOSFET connected to the load's positive input.
- Gate to ground through a pull-down resistor (e.g., 10kΩ).
- Connect the control switch between the Gate and VCC (or other control logic to enable/disable the load).
Example Connection:- Connect the negative terminal of the battery to the load's negative input.
- Source of the P-channel MOSFET to the battery's positive terminal.
- Drain of the P-channel MOSFET to the load's positive input.
- Gate of the P-channel MOSFET to ground through a 10kΩ pull-down resistor.
- Connect a control switch (or a microcontroller pin, etc.) between the MOSFET's Gate and VCC.
When the Load Switch is Controlled:- When the control signal (or switch) is turned on, the Gate is pulled to VCC, turning off the MOSFET and disconnecting the load.
- When the control signal (or switch) is turned off, the Gate is pulled to ground, turning on the MOSFET and connecting the load to the battery.
Schematic Snippet: Load Directly from the Charger Output:- In a more integrated configuration, loads can be connected to the same node as BATDRV (or similar). This approach ensures the load gets power from the charger directly when the charger is connected and from the battery when the charger is not connected.
Simplified Scenario:- Connect the load in parallel with the battery.

HIDRV (Pin 21):
- High-Side Driver Output. This pin drives the gate of the high-side N-channel MOSFET, which is part of the synchronous buck converter used to regulate the charging current and voltage.
-
LODRV (Pin 19):
- Low-Side Driver Output. This pin drives the gate of the low-side N-channel MOSFET, which is also part of the synchronous buck converter.
-
PH (Pin 20):
- Phase Node Connection. This pin connects to the switching node (junction of the high-side and low-side MOSFETs) in the synchronous buck converter. The PH node is where the inductor connects, and it is a key point for power conversion from the adapter to the battery.
Understanding the P-channel MOSFET Integration:- The BATDRV pin (Pin 23) is used to drive the gate of a P-MOSFET.
- When the BATDRV pin is low, the P-MOSFET is turned on, allowing current to flow from the battery to the system, providing a low impedance path.
- When the BATDRV pin is high, the P-MOSFET is turned off, disconnecting the battery from the system.
Connection Summary:- Source of P-MOSFET: Connect to the battery positive terminal (BAT+).
- Drain of P-MOSFET: Connect to the system (load) positive input.
- Gate of P-MOSFET: Connect to the BATDRV pin (Pin 23) via a suitable pull-up resistor (to ensure it turns off when not driven).
Detailed Schematic Integration:- BATDRV Control:
- BATDRV Pin (Pin 23): This pin will control the gate of the P-channel MOSFET (PQ1).
- Source of PQ1: Connected to the battery positive (BAT+).
- Drain of PQ1: Connected to the load/system positive input.
- Gate of PQ1: Connected to BATDRV, controlled to turn PQ1 on/off.
Step-by-step Function:-
Switch ON (Charging Enabled):
- CE pin is pulled high by the switch, enabling charging.
- The battery is charged via the BQ24610.
- The system is powered by the adapter through the synchronous buck converter (HIDRV and LODRV MOSFETs are switching).
-
Switch OFF (Charging Disabled):
- CE pin is pulled low by the switch, disabling charging.
- BATDRV pin goes low, turning on the P-channel MOSFET (PQ1), connecting the battery to the system.
- The system is disconnected from the adapter, and Vout is low because the power supply path to the system is cut off.
-
External Adapter Removed:
- When the adapter is removed, the Schottky diode (D1) ensures the current path from the battery through the P-MOSFET (PQ1) to the system.
- BATDRV pin remains low, keeping PQ1 on and allowing the battery to supply power to the system.
