1–4 cell Li-Ion charger with I²C programmability
The Texas Instruments BQ24726RGRR is a Li-Ion battery charger IC designed for 1 to 4 series cells, with a maximum battery pack voltage of 19.2V. An I²C interface allows the host microcontroller to program charge current and voltage, making it suitable for multi-chemistry or multi-cell systems where the charging profile must be adjusted dynamically. Integrated fault protection covers over-current, over-voltage, and short-circuit conditions, reducing external component count and simplifying the safety design.
