The BH6173GUL-E2 is a highly specialised power management integrated circuit (PMIC) for complex applications. This PMIC has been designed with the intention to reduce cost and development time. The integrated electronics allow a fully automated power management solution with minimal out of the box setup and thus, can be quickly deployed in service. This article will discuss the application field and working principle of the BH6173GUL-E2.

Application field:

The BH6173GUL-E2 PMIC is ideal for automotive, industrial and other applications requiring a high-degree of flexibility. The device can operate within wide input voltage ranges and can be easily configured to accept a number of power source externalities. Moreover, the device\'s design architecture features a self-contained system solution that is simple to set-up and operate. This allows for quick deployment of the BH6173GUL-E2 PMIC into system applications.

Working principle:

The BH6173GUL-E2 PMIC operates via a two-phase power conversion architecture. The two phases within the power conversion architecture are referred to as the power factor correction (PFC) phase and the battery charger phase. The PFC phase is responsible for rectifying the incoming AC voltage, smoothing the power and providing a stable DC voltage for the entire system. The battery charging phase is responsible for charging the battery based on parameters such as battery type and capacity, input voltage levels and system temperature.

The BH6173GUL-E2 PMIC integrates a high-efficiency MOSFET and a controlled current circuit. The controlled current circuit is responsible for ensuring a precise battery charging current on the incoming AC voltage side. This also prevents an over current situation from occurring in the system and allows for precise current control for precise calibration. Moreover, the BH6173GUL-E2 PMIC includes an over voltage and short circuit protection circuit. This provides the added protection to the system and can prevent the system from suffering damages due to excessive electrical currents.

Conclusion:

The BH6173GUL-E2 PMIC is a highly specialized product with an integrated system approach to power management. This device provides high levels of flexibility and is ideal for applications such as automotive, industrial and other complex systems. The two-phase power conversion architecture provides a precise current calibration and protection against over current and short circuit scenarios. These combined features make the BH6173GUL-E2 PMIC an ideal solution for high-end application requirements.
