1.5 A single-cell Li-Ion charger with 16 V input tolerance
The BQ24031RHLT is a linear charger IC from Texas Instruments' bqTINY™ III series, designed for single-cell Lithium-Ion or Lithium-Polymer battery packs. It delivers a programmable charge current up to 1.5 A from a USB or wall-adapter input rated to 16 V maximum, which gives headroom for 5 V or 9 V adapters without an external clamp.
Programmable current and timer with built-in fault monitoring
Charge current and safety timer are programmable via external resistors, giving the designer control over the charge profile without firmware. The IC integrates over-temperature, reverse-current, and short-circuit protection, so a single fault event won't cascade into a battery or system failure.
