AEC-Q100 qualified single-cell charger with 26V input tolerance
The BQ24079QWRGTRQ1 is an automotive-grade (AEC-Q100) single-cell Li-Ion/Polymer linear charger IC from Texas Instruments, rated for a maximum charge current of 1.5A and a supply voltage up to 26V.
Programmable charge current and timer with fault protection
Charge current is constant and programmable via an external resistor; a programmable timer sets the safety timeout. Fault protection includes over-temperature, over-voltage, reverse current, and short-circuit detection. The USB interface allows direct connection to a standard USB port or a dedicated charger adapter, with the battery pack voltage regulated to 4.1V.
Active production — no end-of-life risk for automotive programs
The base product number is BQ24079; the full order code includes the Q1 suffix indicating AEC-Q100 qualification and the RGTR package code for the 16-VQFN (3x3 mm) exposed pad.
