2-cell series charging with I²C control
The BQ25882YFFR: This is a multi-chemistry switch-mode battery charger designed specifically for 2-cell series Li-Ion or Li-Polymer stacks. The I²C interface lets the host microcontroller set charge voltage, current, and termination thresholds dynamically — no resistor dividers to swap for different battery chemistries.
Fault protection and temperature grade
On-chip fault protection covers over-current, over-temperature, and short-circuit conditions — these are hardwired safety limits that operate independently of the I²C register settings, so a firmware crash does not disable the protection.
25-DSBGA footprint — layout consideration
The 25-DSBGA package (0.5 mm pitch, 0.25 mm ball diameter) is a fine-pitch wafer-level package. Surface-mount assembly only; no hand-soldering this package.
