Single-cell Li-ion charger with I²C control
The Texas Instruments BQ24161RGER is a single-cell Lithium Ion/Polymer battery charger in a 24-VFQFN Exposed Pad package, controlled via an I²C interface. It delivers a programmable constant charge current up to 2.5 A max, sized for portable devices that need fast charging without a separate microcontroller PWM pin.
Protection and temperature range
Built-in fault protection covers over-temperature and over-voltage conditions, reducing the external supervisor circuitry the BOM would otherwise need.
Package and supply rails
Maximum supply input is 10 V, so a 5 V USB rail or a 9 V wall adapter fits within the absolute maximum; a 12 V rail would need a pre-regulator.
