Product details
Overview
BQ21080YBGR from Texas Instruments is an I²C-controlled, single-cell linear battery charger IC with integrated power path management, 800-mA charge current capability, 3.0–5.9-V input range, and ultra-low 30-nA shutdown quiescent current-designed for space-constrained wearable devices requiring ship mode and battery-to-battery charging.
For engineers reviewing the BQ21080YBGR datasheet, BQ21080YBGR pinout, BQ21080YBGR application, or BQ21080YBGR equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, precise pin functions, real-world use cases in TWS headsets and smart glasses, and validated alternative options for low-IQ Li-ion charging solutions.
Technical Context
The BQ21080YBGR implements a dual-loop linear charging architecture with independent constant-current (CC) and constant-voltage (CV) regulation, dynamically managed by VINDPM (input voltage DPM) and DPPM (system voltage DPM) feedback loops. It supports JEITA-compliant NTC thermistor monitoring via TS/MR pin and programmable battery regulation voltage (3.6–4.65 V, ±0.5%) with 10-mV steps.
Power path operation enables seamless system power sourcing from either IN or BAT, with regulated SYS output (4.4–4.9 V), configurable input current limit (50–1050 mA), and up to 2.5-A pulsed discharge capability. Ship mode activation requires ≥5-s button press on TS/MR, reducing battery drain to 30 nA while retaining wake-on-button functionality.

Applications
| TWS Headset Charging Case | Smart Glasses Power Management |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Compact charging case supplies power to left/right earbuds while simultaneously recharging its own battery from USB. IC Role / Device Role: Linear charger with power path ensures system (case MCU/display) remains powered during battery recharge. Use Value: Eliminates need for separate LDO or buck converter; 800-mA charge current fully recharges 200-mAh case battery in <2.5 hours. |
Use Scenario: AR glasses require continuous low-power operation and rapid battery top-up between brief usage sessions. IC Role / Device Role: Regulated SYS output powers display driver and sensors; battery charging occurs in background without system interruption. Use Value: 30-nA shutdown and 3.2-µA Ship mode extend shelf life >12 months; DPPM prevents brownout during high-current display bursts. |
| Smart Watch Battery System | Retail Payment Terminal |
Use Scenario: Wearable watch uses coin-cell-sized Li-ion battery and must survive weeks on single charge with periodic USB top-ups. IC Role / Device Role: Single-chip solution handles charging, system power routing, thermal safety, and button-initiated ship mode. Use Value: 55-mΩ BAT FET and 4.5-V SYS regulation minimize voltage drop across internal resistance-preserving runtime under load. |
Use Scenario: Portable card reader operates from internal battery but must accept USB-C charging without disrupting transaction processing. IC Role / Device Role: Power path isolates charging circuit from system rail; /INT pin alerts host MCU of overvoltage or thermal fault in real time. Use Value: 25-V input tolerance protects against USB-C adapter surges; configurable termination current (0.5–100 mA) avoids overcharge in field-deployed units. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar linear battery charging applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BQ25120AYFFT | Higher 1.2-A charge current; integrated 3-MHz boost converter; 1.2-µA Ship mode (vs. 3.2 µA); no DPPM support. | Better suited for systems needing system rail boosting (e.g., BLE radio wake-up); less optimal for pure low-IQ battery-to-battery charging. | Select BQ25120AYFFT if boost conversion is required; otherwise BQ21080YBGR offers lower Ship mode IQ and superior DPPM for load-sensitive wearables. |
| MP2662GQZ | 800-mA linear charger; 1.5-µA Ship mode; no I²C interface (pin-strapped only); no JEITA NTC support; 125°C thermal shutdown. | Targeted at cost-sensitive, fixed-parameter designs where configurability and thermal safety margins are secondary. | Choose MP2662GQZ for simplified BOM and fixed-configuration production; BQ21080YBGR provides full I²C control, JEITA compliance, and tighter thermal regulation. |
Compared with BQ25120AYFFT and MP2662GQZ, the BQ21080YBGR uniquely balances ultra-low Ship mode current (3.2 µA), full I²C programmability, JEITA NTC support, and robust DPPM-making it the preferred choice for premium wearables demanding long shelf life and adaptive charging behavior.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required to initiate charging on the BQ21080YBGR?
The BQ21080YBGR begins charging when input voltage rises above 3.0 V (VIN_LOWV threshold). Below this, the device remains in sleep mode. The input undervoltage lockout (VIN_UVLO) exits at 3.0 V (rising) and re-engages at 2.7 V (falling), ensuring stable startup. This 3.0-V minimum supports battery-to-battery charging from partially discharged sources, a key requirement for TWS charging cases using the BQ21080YBGR.
How does the BQ21080YBGR handle thermal regulation during high-current charging?
The BQ21080YBGR implements junction temperature regulation at 100°C (configurable via register), reducing charge current to maintain safe die temperature. If temperature exceeds 150°C, thermal shutdown activates and disables all FETs. The device also features thermal regulation hysteresis and supports JEITA-compliant NTC monitoring via the TS/MR pin-ensuring safe charging across ambient temperatures from -20°C to +60°C in compact enclosures using the BQ21080YBGR.
Can the BQ21080YBGR be used with LiFePO₄ batteries?
Yes-the BQ21080YBGR supports LiFePO₄ chemistry through programmable battery regulation voltage down to 3.6 V (with 10-mV steps) and configurable precharge/termination thresholds. Its 3.6–4.65-V VBATREG range covers the typical 3.6-V nominal voltage of LiFePO₄ cells. The BQ21080YBGR's JEITA NTC monitoring and adjustable VLOWV further enable safe, temperature-aware charging profiles tailored to LiFePO₄ characteristics.
What is the role of the TS/MR pin on the BQ21080YBGR beyond NTC monitoring?
The TS/MR pin serves dual roles: as an NTC thermistor input for JEITA temperature profiling, and as a manual reset / ship mode trigger. Holding TS/MR low for ≥5 seconds (tLPRESS) enters Ship mode, reducing battery drain to 30 nA. A shorter press (tWAKE1/tWAKE2) wakes the device. This eliminates need for external reset ICs or dedicated ship-mode circuitry-simplifying design and saving board space in devices using the BQ21080YBGR.
Does the BQ21080YBGR support automatic recharge after termination?
Yes-the BQ21080YBGR supports automatic recharge via the VRCH (recharge threshold) function. After charge termination, if battery voltage drops below the programmed VRCH level (75–230 mV below regulation voltage), the device restarts charging. This hysteresis prevents cycling near full charge and maintains battery health. The VRCH threshold is configurable via I²C, and the BQ21080YBGR implements this behavior without host MCU intervention.
