Product details
Overview
BQ24155RGYT from Texas Instruments is a fully integrated, I²C-programmable, synchronous switch-mode Li-ion/Li-polymer battery charger for single-cell portable devices. It delivers up to 1.25 A charge current, supports USB-compliant input current limiting (100 mA/500 mA), regulates charge voltage from 3.5 V to 4.44 V with ±0.5% accuracy at 25°C, and operates in a 3.5 mm × 3.5 mm 14-pin QFN package. It enables fast charging in smartphones and MP3 players while maintaining thermal regulation and input overvoltage protection.
For engineers reviewing the BQ24155RGYT datasheet, BQ24155RGYT pinout, BQ24155RGYT application, or BQ24155RGYT equivalent, key selection considerations include its 3 MHz fixed-frequency PWM controller, programmable safety timer (32-minute/32-second modes), integrated power FETs, I²C-compatible interface (up to 3.4 Mbps), and automatic high-impedance mode for low-power standby operation.
Technical Context
The BQ24155RGYT implements a voltage-mode synchronous PWM controller operating at 3 MHz with 0%–99.5% duty cycle control, using internal Type-III compensation for stable regulation across continuous and discontinuous conduction modes. It integrates back-to-back N-channel FETs on the high side (Q1 reverse-blocking, Q2 switching) and one low-side N-FET (Q3), with bootstrap gate drive for Q2 and charge-pump drive for Q1.
Four concurrent regulation loops-input current, charge current, charge voltage, and junction temperature (125°C thermal regulation threshold)-dynamically prioritize control during charging. Charge termination is based on programmable minimum current level (50–400 mA), and automatic recharge triggers when battery voltage falls below V(OREG) – V(RCH) (100–150 mV hysteresis).

FAQ
What is the maximum charge current supported by the BQ24155RGYT?
The BQ24155RGYT supports a maximum programmable charge current of 1.25 A. This value is achieved using the integrated synchronous power FETs and is specified under recommended operating conditions (VBUS = 5 V, TJ ≤ 125°C). The actual delivered current depends on external components-including the sense resistor value (e.g., 68 mΩ for 1.25 A), inductor rating, and thermal design-and is regulated with ±5% accuracy across temperature.
Does the BQ24155RGYT require an external inductor, and what is its typical value?
Yes, the BQ24155RGYT requires an external power inductor as part of its synchronous buck converter topology. A typical value is 1.0 µH, rated for ≥1.5 A DC current and selected for low DCR to minimize conduction losses. Inductor selection must consider the 3 MHz switching frequency-high-frequency ferrite cores with tight coupling and low AC resistance are recommended to maintain efficiency and reduce EMI.
How does the BQ24155RGYT handle thermal regulation during charging?
The BQ24155RGYT monitors its junction temperature and begins reducing charge current when TJ reaches approximately 125°C. This thermal regulation is automatic and continuous-no external sensor or host intervention is required. The device remains operational but throttles current to prevent exceeding the 150°C absolute maximum junction temperature. Thermal performance is enhanced by the exposed thermal pad, which must be soldered to a PCB copper pour connected to PGND.
Can the BQ24155RGYT operate without a battery connected?
Yes, the BQ24155RGYT supports power-up of the system without a battery via the PMID pin. When VBUS is present and no battery is attached (or battery voltage is below VSHORT), the device can supply regulated power to the system load through PMID, provided AUXPWR is not connected or is at a safe voltage. This capability enables "battery-less" operation during development or field service, and is enabled by the integrated reverse-blocking FET (Q1) preventing backfeed.
What protection features are built into the BQ24155RGYT?
The BQ24155RGYT integrates multiple hardware-based protections: input overvoltage lockout (UVLO at 3.3 V, hysteresis 150 mV), input OVP (6.7 V), output OVP (121% of VOREG), thermal shutdown (165°C), short-circuit detection (2.0 V battery threshold), cycle-by-cycle current limiting (2.3 A peak), and reverse leakage prevention. All protections operate independently of I²C control and do not require host firmware-ensuring fail-safe behavior even during communication loss.
