RAA489118

Buck-Boost Battery Charger with SMBus Interface for General 30V and USB PD EPR

The RAA489118 is a buck-boost charger supporting 30V input and 30V battery. The RAA489118 provides charging and protection features for power tools, portable vacuums, battery-powered lawn mowers, power banks, and additional system bus regulation for notebooks. It also supports any USB-C interface platform including USB PD EPR. The advanced Renesas R3™ technology provides highly efficient light-load operation and fast transient response.

In Charging mode, the RAA489118 accepts input power from a wide range of DC power sources (such as conventional AC/DC charger adapters, USB PD ports, and travel adapters) and safely charges battery packs with up to 7 serially connected battery cells up to 30V. The device can operate with only a battery, only an adapter, or with both connected.

The RAA489118 supports reverse buck, reverse boost, or reverse buck-boost operation to the input port from 2-cell to 7-cell batteries.

The RAA489118 provides programming resistor options including autonomous charging, max output voltages, adapter current limit. Additionally, it provides serial communication that enables programming of many critical parameters to deliver a customized solution.
