1.5A charge current and USB supply ceiling
The BQ24073RGTT: Max charge current is 1.5A — enough to charge a 1000mAh single-cell Li-Ion pack in under an hour, assuming the thermal pad on the 16-VQFN (3x3) package is properly sinked. The supply max is 6.4V, which covers USB VBUS (5V nominal) plus a healthy margin for cable drop and hot-plug transients. The charger uses a constant-current / constant-voltage profile with programmable current and timer via external resistors. Fault protection covers over-temperature, over-voltage, reverse current, and short circuit — no external supervisor needed for those events.
