4A programmable charger for 1-3 cell Li-Ion packs
The Texas Instruments BQ24170RGYR is a constant-current, constant-voltage Li-Ion/Polymer battery charger that handles 1 to 3 series cells with a programmable charge current up to 4A. The 4.2V battery pack voltage is fixed for single-cell Li-Ion, while the input supply can go up to 17V, covering most wall adapters and USB-C PD sources.
Protection set that saves board space
Built-in fault protection covers overcurrent, overvoltage, and overtemperature conditions — no external supervisor needed. The only programmable feature is charge current, set by a single resistor to ground. That keeps the BOM lean for high-volume builds.
Texas Instruments lists the BQ24170RGYR as Active.
