General description:

The GD30WS8815x is a highly integrated, programmable, low quiescent current powermanagement integrated circuit (PMIC) that integrates the most common needs for wearablesand low power battery applications.The GD30WS8815x integrates a switching charger of programmable charging current (up to1.5A) and a synchronous boost converter at fixed 5V output. The IC also includes a 12-bitADC for battery gauge monitoring, and a low quiescent current, low noise LDO capable ofdelivering 80mA load current.The device integrates advanced power path management and control that allow the deviceto provide power to the system while charging the battery even with poor adapters. Thedynamic power path management automatically balances the currents delivered to thesystem and battery charging. A high voltage and over current protection circuit isimplemented in the IC to protect it from high input voltage as high as 20V.The GD30WS8815x device supports charge current up to 1.5A and termination current downto 5mA. The maximum charge current is set at a default of 1.5A and is programmable byconnecting an external resistor from ISET pin to ground. The battery is charged using astandard Li-Ion charge profile with three phases: pre-charge, constant current and constantvoltage regulation.The device has several power saving modes to increase battery life whether the product is instorage or in operation. The quiescent current could be as low as 5uA when it is in sleepmode and thus most battery could sustain more than a year in shelf.The versatile features of GD30WS8815x allow for it to best used in wearable applicationssuch as headsets, earbuds and hearing aids, or low battery applications such as smartwatches and fitness accessories, or patient monitors and portable medical equipment.
