Single-cell Li-Ion/Polymer linear charger — 4.2 V regulated output
The Texas Instruments BQ2057CDGKRG4 is a linear charge-management IC designed for single-cell Lithium Ion or Lithium Polymer battery packs. It regulates the charge voltage to 4.2 V and uses a constant-current, constant-voltage (CC/CV) profile — the charge current is set by an external resistor, making it programmable rather than fixed. The device accepts a supply up to 15 V, which covers most 5 V USB adapters and 9–12 V wall-wart inputs.
Package and mounting — 8-VSSOP on tape and reel
It ships in Tape & Reel (TR) format, ready for automated pick-and-place assembly.
