It delivers up to 5 A charge current from a 14 V max input supply, controlled over an I²C interface that also supports USB input detection. The part integrates over-current and over-temperature fault protection, reducing the external component count for a compact charging solution. This is the IC you spec when you need a host-controlled fast charger for a single-cell portable — think power banks, handheld instruments, or any USB-C PD device that wants to charge a 1S pack quickly without a separate power-management MCU.
It is ROHS3 compliant. For a new design, this is a safe choice — no LTB risk in the near term. There is no official second-source alternate in the ledger, but the I²C-controlled single-cell charger space has several functional competitors if dual-sourcing becomes a priority.
