Single-cell Li-ion linear charger – 500 mA ceiling
The BQ24202DGNG4 is a linear charger IC for single-cell Lithium Ion/Polymer batteries, delivering constant charge current up to 500 mA. The 4.2 V battery pack voltage is fixed internally, so this part targets standard Li-ion cells, not LiFePO4.
Programmable charge current and timer
Charge current and safety timer are programmable via external resistors, giving the designer control over charge rate and termination timing. The 13.5 V maximum supply voltage allows operation from a standard 5 V USB or higher-voltage wall adapter.
Active lifecycle – no obsolescence risk
The part ships in a Tube, surface-mount 8-HVSSOP package with exposed pad for thermal management.
Protection and temperature range
Built-in fault protection covers over-temperature and short-circuit conditions, reducing external component count and improving reliability in portable designs.
