Single-cell Li-Ion/Polymer power manager with fault protection
The Texas Instruments TPS650242RHBT is a power management IC designed for single-cell Lithium Ion and Lithium Polymer battery applications. It integrates charging, protection, and power-path management into a single 32-VFQFN Exposed Pad package. The device includes over-temperature and under-voltage fault protection, which prevents the battery from operating outside safe limits during charge or discharge cycles.
The exposed pad on the 32-VFQFN package aids thermal dissipation; the board layout should connect the pad to a copper plane for effective heat sinking, especially when charging at higher currents near the upper temperature limit.
For dual-sourcing resilience, evaluate other single-cell Li-Ion PMICs from TI's TPS6502x family, but confirm pin compatibility and register map differences before committing the BOM.
