BQ24074EVM in TI BQ24xxx / BQ25xxx Battery Charge Family
The BQ24074EVM is a specialized evaluation module from Texas Instruments designed to demonstrate the capabilities of the BQ24074 linear battery charger and power path management IC. This sub-family provides a complete solution for charging single-cell Li-Ion or Li-Pol batteries from either a USB port or an AC adapter. It is primarily used by hardware engineers to validate dynamic power path management, which allows the system to be powered while simultaneously charging the battery independently.
Variants in This Sub-Family
Variants within this evaluation sub-family typically differ in their pre-configured output voltage levels and specific safety timer settings. While the core BQ24074 focuses on a 4.2V battery voltage and specific pin-out configurations for SYNC and CE functionality, related evaluation modules like the BQ24075 or BQ24079 offer variations in VOUT regulation or SYNC pin behavior to accommodate different downstream system voltage requirements and logic controls.
