It charges a 4.2V battery pack at a programmable current up to 1A, with built-in short-circuit protection and a timer for charge termination. ## Obsolete — the scorch mark tells you Texas Instruments lists the BQ24012DRCRG4 as Obsolete. No factory orders are accepted; the only channel is surplus or broker stock. For a production BOM line, this part is a dead end. Plan for a pin-compatible second source or a redesign with a current-generation charger IC. ## Package and thermal — the exposed pad is your friend The part comes in a 10-VFDFN exposed pad package (also called 10-VSON 3x3 mm).","metaTitle":"BQ24012DRCRG4 Li-Ion Charger IC, bqTINY, 1A, Obsolete","metaDescription":"BQ24012DRCRG4 is a Texas Instruments bqTINY Li-Ion/Polymer charger IC for 1 cell, 4.2V, 1A max, -40°C to 125°C.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":"Obsolete","categoryPath":["Power Management (PMIC / Gate Driver)"],"specifications":{"Mfr":"Texas Instruments","Series":"bqTINY™","Package":"Tape & Reel (TR)","Interface":"-","Mounting Type":"Surface Mount","Package / Case":"10-VFDFN Exposed Pad","Product Status":"Obsolete","Number of Cells":"1","lifecycle_stage":"eol_hot","Fault Protection":"Short Circuit","Battery Chemistry":"Lithium Ion/Polymer","Current - Charging":"Constant - Programmable","Base Product Number":"BQ24012","Battery Pack Voltage":"4.2V","Charge Current - Max":"1A","Operating Temperature":"-40°C~125°C(TJ)","Programmable Features":"Current, Timer","Voltage - Supply (Max)":"16.5V","Supplier Device Package":"10-VSON (3x3)"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$2.1600","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icboms.com/7559e5bdcec9555eebe3cafd4b6faaec.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Is BQ24012DRCRG4 obsolete?","answer":"Yes, Texas Instruments lists the BQ24012DRCRG4 as Obsolete.
