Charger IC Lithium Ion 8-ESOP
Active10,000 in stock

Overview

The TP4056 is a complete constant-current/constant-voltage linear charger for single cell lithium-ion batteries. Its ESOP-8 package with an internal thermal pad and low external component count make it a standard choice for portable applications.

Why Choose This Part

The TP4056 eliminates the need for an external sense resistor and blocking diode due to its internal PMOSFET architecture. It features programmable charge current up to 1A and includes thermal regulation to prevent overheating during high power operation or high ambient temperatures.

Applications

USB Powered Chargers
Ideal for charging single-cell Li-ion batteries directly from a USB port or a wall adapter.
Portable Electronics
Integrated into handheld devices like flashlights, wireless headsets, and portable game consoles.
Battery Management Modules
Used as the primary charging IC in small-scale DIY battery protection and charging breakout boards.
