Single-cell Li-ion charger in a 4x4 QFN
The Renesas ISL6298-2CR4Z is a single-cell linear battery charger IC for Lithium Ion and Lithium Polymer packs. It delivers a programmable constant charge current up to 450 mA maximum, with a regulated battery voltage of 4.2 V. The device includes over-temperature fault protection and a programmable timer for charge termination. It operates from a supply voltage up to 6.5 V and is specified over the -20°C to 70°C temperature range, making it suitable for portable consumer electronics, handheld instruments, and battery-backed IoT devices.
Package and rework — the 16-QFN with exposed pad
Housed in a 16-QFN Exposed Pad package (4x4 mm body, supplier package 16-QFN), this is a surface-mount part. The exposed pad underneath is the main thermal path.
Lifecycle and sourcing
The ISL6298-2CR4Z carries an Active lifecycle status from Renesas. It is ROHS3 compliant.
