That 5 A figure is the maximum charge current the device can source — it's a continuous rating, not a peak, so the power path and inductor need to be sized for sustained 5 A throughput without thermal derating concerns at the 85°C end of the operating range. The part integrates fault protection for over-current and over-temperature conditions, which simplifies the BOM by reducing the need for external supervisory circuitry.
Package and footprint — 24-WQFN with exposed pad
It does not extend to the full automotive under-hood range (125°C), but it handles the cabin and most portable use cases without issue.
The part is ROHS3 compliant.
