Product details

Package and mounting — the exposed-pad thermal requirement

The 8-HVSSOP (3.00 mm × 3.00 mm body, 0.118" width) with exposed pad is a surface-mount package. The pad on the bottom must be soldered to a copper thermal land on the PCB — without that thermal path, the junction will exceed the 125°C limit at full 500 mA charge current in a warm ambient. The supplier device package is listed as 8-HVSSOP, which is TI's designation for the same 8-pin MSOP with exposed pad.

Lifecycle and sourcing posture

That means it is safe to qualify into a new design without worrying about a near-term EOL.

Frequently asked questions

What is the maximum charge current of BQ24201DGN?

The maximum charge current is 500 mA, delivered as a constant current. The charge current is programmable via an external resistor, so you can set it lower if the cell or thermal budget requires it.

Does BQ24201DGN have over-temperature protection?

Yes, over-temperature and short-circuit fault protection are integrated. No external supervisor is needed for those two failure modes.

What is the difference between BQ24201DGN and BQ24201?

The BQ24201 is the base product number without a package suffix. The BQ24201DGN is the specific variant in the 8-HVSSOP package with exposed pad. Electrically they are the same charger IC; the DGN suffix denotes the package and ordering code for the tape-and-reel or tube shipping option.
