The BQ25172DSGR is a linear charger IC from Texas Instruments designed for Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) battery packs. It handles 1 to 6 series cells with a maximum charge current of 800 mA, programmable via an external resistor. Input voltage goes up to 18 V, and the part integrates over-current, over-temperature, over-voltage, and short-circuit fault protection — so you don't need a separate supervisor IC for a basic NiMH cradle charger.
