NRND — plan the replacement now
The BQ24257YFFT: This means the part is in its last procurement window before final obsolescence; new designs should target a replacement, and existing BOM lines should secure last-time-buy quantities or qualify an alternate part.
Single-cell charger with I²C and USB
The BQ24257YFFT is a single-cell, multi-chemistry battery charger IC from Texas Instruments. It supports a programmable constant charge current up to 2 A and accepts a maximum supply voltage of 6.5 V. Communication with a host microcontroller runs over an I²C interface, and the device is compatible with USB charging sources. A programmable timer is the only on-chip feature the user can configure.
Protection and temperature range
Built-in fault protection covers over-temperature and over-voltage conditions, critical for safe single-cell Li-ion charging in portable equipment.
Package and mounting
Housed in a 30-ball DSBGA package, this is a surface-mount device. The supplier device package is 30-DSBGA.
