TIBQ24250RGER
Overview
The BQ24250RGER is a highly integrated single-cell Li-Ion battery charger with power path management and I2C control. It features a high-efficiency 3 MHz synchronous switch-mode buck converter and is capable of providing up to 2A of charge current from a maximum operating input voltage of 10.5V. The device is designed to support system operation even with a deeply discharged or missing battery.
Why Choose This Part
This IC offers a compact footprint by using a high-frequency 3 MHz PWM controller that supports small inductors. It provides excellent flexibility through I2C-programmable battery charge voltage, charge current, and input current limits. The AnyBoot algorithm ensures reliable system startup from deeply discharged batteries, while the power path management allows the system to be powered simultaneously during battery charging.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Engineers should evaluate this part using the BQ24250EVM evaluation module. Configuration is performed via the I2C interface to set charge parameters like VBATREG and ICHG. Ensure the thermal pad of the 24-VQFN package is properly soldered to a large ground plane to handle the heat dissipation at 2A charge rates.
