Single-cell Li-Ion charger with 2A programmable current
The Texas Instruments BQ24108RHLRG4 is a bqSWITCHER™ series single-cell Lithium Ion/Polymer battery charger IC. The input supply range extends to 16V, so it can run from a 5V USB port, a 12V wall adapter, or an unregulated 15V rail without needing an external pre-regulator. The programmable features include charge current and a safety timer, giving the designer control over charge profile and termination.
2A charge current and thermal design in a 20-VFQFN
The 2A maximum charge current is the headline rating for this part. The exposed pad is the primary heat path — the PCB copper area directly under it sets the effective thermal resistance. Built-in over-voltage and over-temperature protection reduce external component count.
