The BQ24616RGET is a switch-mode battery charge management IC from Texas Instruments, designed for 1- to 6-cell Lithium Ion or Lithium Polymer battery packs. It delivers a programmable constant charge current up to 10 A, with a maximum battery pack voltage of 26 V. Integrated fault protection covers overcurrent, overtemperature, overvoltage, and short-circuit conditions, reducing the need for external supervisory circuitry on the power path.
Housed in a 24-VFQFN Exposed Pad package (supplier device package 24-VQFN, 4x4 mm), the BQ24616RGET requires a surface-mount assembly process. The part is offered in Tape & Reel and Cut Tape options, aligning with both prototyping and volume production pick-and-place workflows.
