The Texas Instruments BQ24130RHLR is a multi-chemistry battery charger IC that handles 1 to 3 series cells, accepting a supply up to 17 V. It delivers a constant programmable charging current — set by an external resistor — and includes over-temperature and over-voltage fault protection. The part is suited for portable equipment, power tools, medical devices, and industrial handhelds where the battery chemistry may vary between Li-ion, Li-Po, or LiFePO4, and where the ambient temperature range spans -40°C to 85°C.
ROHS3 compliant, so it meets current European and global restrictions on hazardous substances.
