BQ24610RGET

BQ24610RGET is Texas Instruments’ standalone Li‑ion/Li‑polymer battery charger with built-in power-path management. It accepts a 5V USB or DC input and provides a complete CC/CV charging profile, with preconditioning for deeply discharged cells. It includes safety features such as input current limit, over‑current/overvoltage protection, thermal monitoring, and charge-status indicators, while allowing the system to operate while the battery is charging via a power-path path. The RGET suffix indicates a RoHS-compliant packaging option for this part. External components typically include an inductor, catch diode, input/output capacitors, and programming resistors to set charge current and regulation voltage (about 4.2V). Applications: mobile devices, USB-powered accessories, and other portable electronics needing a compact, single‑chip charger. For exact electrical characteristics and reference designs, consult the bq24610 data sheet and TI application notes.

Direct one-for-one equivalents for BQ24610RGET aren’t published. The closest TI substitutes are other devices in the BQ2461x family with similar features (single-cell Li‑ion charger with USB input). For cross-vendor equivalents, consider common single-cell Li‑ion charger ICs with similar specs: Microchip MCP73831/MCP73832 and Analog Devices LTC4054/LTC4057. Ensure charge current, input source, safety timers, and packaging match your design.

Here are the key features of the bq24610RGET:
- Standalone Li-Ion/Li-Po battery charger with integrated switch MOSFET (power-path architecture).
- Up to 1 A constant-current charging with constant-voltage regulation to 4.2 V.
- Power-path/load sharing: powers the system from the adapter while charging, protecting battery health.
- Supports pre-charge and automatic recharge for deeply discharged or idle cells.
- Battery temperature monitoring via thermistor input with safety/thermals control.
- Safety protections: input overvoltage/overcurrent, battery overvoltage, short-circuit protection, and over-temperature shutdown; reverse-current protection.
- Minimal external components; designed as a compact solution with no external MOSFET required.
- Fast response and low quiescent current in standby.
- Package: 16-pin, 3x3 mm QFN (RGET) with exposed pad.

- Pin count: 20 pins (VQFN-20 package, RGET variant).
- Function: Stand-alone Li-Ion battery charger with power-path management. Accepts input power (Vin) from an adapter/USB, charges a single-cell Li-ion battery to 4.2V, and provides system-power path support with safety features (overcurrent, thermal, etc.). Charge current is set/configured via external components.

- Manufacturer: Texas Instruments (TI).
- What kind of company: An American multinational semiconductor company that designs and manufactures analog, mixed-signal, and embedded processing integrated circuits and other electronics components; one of the world’s largest semiconductor firms.

BQ24610RGET is a highly integrated switch‑mode Li‑ion/Li‑poly battery charger with power‑path and safety features. Typical applications:
