TI BQ25895 Mini DB Description
The Mini Development Board (MiniDB) integrates the BQ25895 — a highly integrated 5-A switch‑mode battery charge-management and system power‑path device for single‑cell Li‑Ion/Li‑polymer batteries. It supports high‑input‑voltage fast charging and combines low‑impedance power‑path management to improve efficiency, reduce charge time, and extend battery life during discharge. The MiniDB exposes the module’s pins and I²C control so designers can prototype quickly without designing the full power subsystem.
