3A single-cell Li-Ion charger with I2C programmability
The Texas Instruments BQ24260RGET is a single-cell Li-Ion battery charger delivering up to 3A charge current with constant-current programmable via I2C interface. The I2C bus lets firmware set the charge current on the fly — useful for adapting to different battery capacities or thermal budgets during charging. Integrated fault protection covers over-temperature and over-voltage events, reducing the need for external supervisory circuitry.
Obsolete — plan for replacement or surplus sourcing
The BQ24260RGET is officially listed as obsolete by Texas Instruments. No direct pin-compatible replacement is listed on the official record. Buyers should verify date-code spread and packaging condition when sourcing surplus reels — sealed factory reels with consistent date-codes are preferred over mixed-date auction lots.
Package and footprint considerations
Housed in a 24-VFQFN exposed-pad package (4x4 mm), the BQ24260RGET requires a surface-mount reflow profile compatible with lead-free solder.
