Single-cell Li-Ion charger with I²C programmability
The Texas Instruments BQ24161YFFT is a single-cell Li-Ion/Polymer battery charger with a programmable constant charge current up to 2.5 A, controlled via an I²C interface. It integrates over-temperature and over-voltage fault protection, reducing external component count.
2.5 A charge current and I²C control
The 2.5 A maximum charge current supports fast charging of single-cell Li-Ion packs with a nominal voltage of 3.7 V. The I²C interface allows the host microcontroller to set charge current, termination threshold, and status monitoring without additional GPIOs. Fault protection covers over-temperature and over-voltage conditions, safeguarding the battery and charger during abnormal operation. The constant-current / constant-voltage charging profile is standard for Li-Ion/Polymer chemistry.
