MAX17320 stand-alone charger

Category: Hardware
Product Number: MAX17320

Hello,

For a new batterypack design I'm looking into the possibilities of the MAX17320 BMS chip.

the idea is to integrate a charger into the battery that communicates via I²C or SMBUS with the MAX17320.

Is the MAX17320 capable of controlling an I²C or SMBUS charger IC in a stand-alone configuration without the need of an external MCU?

If so, which charger ICs are compatible?

Thank you in advance.

Kind regards,

Harry
