The Texas Instruments BQ24610RGER is a switch-mode battery charge controller for Lithium Ion or Lithium Polymer packs, supporting 1 to 6 series cells. The 24-VQFN package with exposed pad (4x4 mm) keeps the thermal path short for sustained 10 A operation. Typical applications include portable equipment, power tools, medical devices, and industrial handhelds where a single IC handles the full charge profile—precondition, constant-current, constant-voltage, and termination.
10 A charge current and cell-count flexibility
The 10 A maximum charge current is the headline number for this part. It determines how fast you can fill a high-capacity pack.
Fault protection and operating range
Built-in fault protection covers over-current, over-temperature, over-voltage, and short-circuit conditions—no external comparator or supervisor needed.
