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.

Frequently asked questions
How many cells can BQ24726RGRR charge?
The BQ24726RGRR supports charging 1 to 4 series Li-Ion cells, with a maximum battery pack voltage of 19.2V.
What fault protections does BQ24726RGRR have?
The BQ24726RGRR integrates over-current, over-voltage, and short-circuit protection, eliminating the need for external comparators or supervisory circuits.
What is the difference between BQ24726RGRR and BQ24725?
The BQ24726 is a pin-compatible variant within the same family; the primary difference lies in the I²C register map and charge voltage set-point resolution. For exact register differences, refer to the respective datasheets. Both parts share the same package and pinout, so a board swap is possible with firmware changes.
