Product details

If you need a pin-compatible second source, you will have to evaluate alternatives from the BQ24188 family or a different charger IC — the datasheet should be your guide for that comparison.

36-DSBGA package — field-swap realities

There is no visible pin-1 marker beyond the laser-marked dot on the top; orientation is critical and not obvious under a magnifier. Swapping this on site without a hot-air station and a microscope is not realistic — it is a lab-bench rework job. The I²C interface needs pull-up resistors sized for the bus capacitance — the charger itself does not include them.

Frequently asked questions

Does the BQ24188YFFT support 2A charging?

Yes, the maximum charge current is 2 A, and it is programmable via the I²C interface.

Does the BQ24188YFFT work with 2-cell batteries?

No, it is a single-cell charger. The battery pack voltage is rated to 4.44 V max, which matches a single Lithium Ion cell.
