Thank you for posting on the MPS Technical Forum. It’s possible we may have a device to fit your needs here, but it’s going to be difficult to know for sure until we nail down some of the details of your system. Can you tell me the following:
Input voltage
Charge Voltage you plan to work at
Charge/Discharge current
Do you need power path?
Based off these specs and questions I believe I will be able to recommend a MPS device for you.
Thanks,

Hi Brendan
Thank you for the quick response, I hope this helps.
21V <= Input voltage <= to 24V
Charge Voltage you plan to work at = 16.80V
Charge current = 2.0A
Discharge current = 0.5A
Do you need power path? = preferable
Actually we have a newly released device, the MP2759, that I think can work for you. It will easily handle your input and charge voltage, and can also handle up to 3A charge current if necessary. It also allows for power path control, so I think this is worth looking at. Since this is a brand new device, you may need a MPS account to access the datasheet. If you are unable to for any reason, contact the MPS Now team at mpsnow@monolithicpower.com and we will get you the datasheet.
