INJOINIC IP5333 multifunctional power management SoC, integrated boost converter, lithium battery charging management, battery power indicator and TYPE-C protocol, provides a complete solution for TWS charging case. IP5333 is very suitable for intelligent two-way communication applications where the current demand is gradually increasing, and it can provide the function of opening the cover.
IP5333 only needs one inductor to realize charging and boosting function. Low cost inductors and capacitors can be supported. The synchronous boost system of the IP5333 provides a rated 1A output current with a conversion efficiency as high as 92%. At light load, it will automatically enter the sleep state, and the quiescent current will drop to less than 20uA. IP5333 adopts switch charging technology, provides a rated 1A charging current, and the charging efficiency is as high as 91%.
IP5333 has built-in IC temperature protection and input voltage intelligent regulation of charging current. IP5333 built-in 12bitADC can accurately measure battery voltage and current. Support 1- 4 LED power display. The high integration and rich functions of IP5333 make it require only a few peripheral devices in application, and effectively reduce the size and BOM cost.
