3A charge current and I2C programmability
The BQ25601DRTWT: The battery regulation voltage tops out at 4.62V, which covers the standard 4.2V and 4.35V cells plus the higher-voltage chemistries some newer packs use.
Fault protection set and industrial temperature range
Built-in protection against over-current, over-temperature, over-voltage, and short circuit — the charger handles fault conditions without needing a separate supervisor IC.
Housed in a 24-WFQFN with exposed pad (4x4 mm) — the pad needs a thermal via array to the ground plane to pull heat out of the charger at 3A continuous. Surface-mount only; no socket option, so plan for reflow with the correct stencil aperture for the exposed pad.
