BQ24072EVM in TI BQ24xxx / BQ25xxx Battery Charge Family
The BQ24072EVM is a specialized evaluation module from Texas Instruments designed to facilitate the testing and integration of the BQ24072 linear battery charger and power-path management IC. This family is engineered for single-cell Li-Ion and Li-Pol applications, providing autonomous power-path management that allows the system to remain powered while simultaneously charging the battery. It is a critical solution for engineers seeking to manage high input voltage protection and dynamic power-path control in space-constrained portable electronics.
Variants in This Sub-Family
Variants within the BQ2407x sub-family typically differ in their integrated Low-Dropout (LDO) output voltages and specific logic behaviors for status pins. Some versions offer fixed 5.5V system outputs while others, like the BQ24072, provide a 4.4V output. Additional variations include the presence or absence of specific battery-tracking features and different thermal protection thresholds tailored for specific battery chemistries or enclosure limitations.
