Product Overview

The BQ25601 is a Texas Instruments Power_Management Power IC for 1-cell Li-ion and Li-polymer battery charging. It implements a synchronous switch-mode buck charger with up to 3 A battery charge management, 1.5 MHz switching frequency, and 92% charge efficiency at 2 A from a 5 V input.

Input management covers USB input and high voltage adapters with a 3.9 V to 13.5 V operating input range and 22 V input absolute maximum voltage rating. The IINDPM input current limit is programmable from 100 mA to 3.2 A in 100 mA steps, while VINDPM maximum power tracking supports an input voltage limit up to 5.4 V.

The device also provides USB OTG boost operation with 5.15 V VBUS output, up to 1.2 A output current, 92% boost efficiency at 1 A, and soft-start for capacitive loads up to 500 uF. It is supplied in a 24-pin WQFN package with 4.00 mm x 4.00 mm body size and 0.75 mm thickness. Assembly-related recommendations include a 10 uF BAT capacitor close to the BAT pin, a 0.047 uF bootstrap capacitor from SW to BTST, and a 10 kOhm INT pullup resistor.
