Product Overview

BQ25606 is a Texas Instruments standalone buck battery charger in the Power_Management category. It is intended for single-cell Li-ion and Li-polymer battery charge management and uses a synchronous switch-mode buck charger topology with integrated RBFET Q1, HSFET Q2, LSFET Q3, and BATFET Q4 power FETs.

The charger supports up to 3.0 A charge current and switches at 1.5 MHz. Extracted operating parameters include 92% charge efficiency at 2 A from a 5 V input, a 3.9 V to 13.5 V input voltage range, 22 V input absolute maximum voltage, and VINDPM operation up to 4.6 V with automatic battery-voltage tracking.

For USB-powered systems, BQ25606 supports USB SDP, DCP, and non-standard adapter detection, with USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 power specification compliance for input current and voltage regulation. USB OTG operation supplies 5.15 V on VBUS with up to 1.2 A output current limit and 92% boost efficiency at 1 A.

The device is provided in a 24-pin VQFN, 4.00 mm x 4.00 mm body package. Assembly-related facts include a 10 uF BAT pin capacitor placed close to BAT and a 0.047 uF bootstrap capacitor connected from SW to BTST.
