Product details
Overview
BQ25620RYKR from Texas Instruments is an I²C-controlled, 3.5A synchronous buck battery charger for single-cell Li-ion/Li-polymer batteries, featuring NVDC power path management, USB OTG boost (up to 9.6V), 3.9–18V input range, ±0.5% charge voltage accuracy, and 15mΩ BATFET. It enables instant-on system operation with depleted batteries in portable medical devices and IP cameras.
For engineers reviewing the BQ25620RYKR datasheet, BQ25620RYKR pinout, BQ25620RYKR application, or BQ25620RYKR equivalent, key selection considerations include its 18-pin WQFN package, JEITA-compliant thermal regulation, ship-mode leakage of 0.15μA, integrated 12-bit ADC, and autonomous charging capability without host intervention.
Technical Context
The BQ25620RYKR implements narrow VDC (NVDC) power path architecture that regulates SYS voltage just above battery voltage-never dropping below a programmable minimum (2.56–3.84V)-ensuring system operation even with zero-battery or no-battery conditions. Its integrated power FETs (RBFET, HSFET, LSFET, BATFET) eliminate external MOSFETs and enable full power-path control.
It supports dual-mode operation: fully autonomous charging (trickle → pre-charge → CC → CV) with temperature-based termination, or I²C-configurable real-time control of charge voltage (3.5–4.8V, 10mV steps), current (80–3520mA, 80mA steps), and input regulation (VINDPM/IINDPM). Thermal regulation activates at 60°C or 120°C per register setting, with hard thermal shutdown at 140°C.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar battery charge management applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BQ25622RYKR | Same pinout and core functionality, but adds ILIM pin for analog input current limit setting and TS_BIAS pin for dedicated thermistor bias-lacks D+/D− detection. | Preferred where precise external current limiting or independent thermistor biasing is required; unsuitable for USB host-port auto-detection. | Select BQ25622RYKR if design uses non-USB sources or requires flexible analog IIN programming; retain BQ25620RYKR for legacy USB adapter compatibility. |
| BQ25616YFFR | Standalone (no I²C), 3.5 A, 4–13.5 V input, fixed 4.1/4.2/4.35 V charge voltage, no ADC, no OTG, 24-pin QFN (4×4 mm). | Targeted at cost-sensitive, fixed-profile applications without telemetry or dynamic control needs. | Choose BQ25616YFFR only for simple, low-BOM-count chargers where I²C configurability, OTG, and thermal telemetry are unnecessary. |
Compared with BQ25622RYKR, the BQ25620RYKR offers native D+/D− USB detection but lacks analog ILIM control; versus BQ25616YFFR, it trades standalone simplicity for full I²C flexibility, integrated ADC, and OTG capability-making it optimal for feature-rich, firmware-upgradable portable systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage supported by the BQ25620RYKR?
The BQ25620RYKR supports an absolute maximum input voltage of 26 V on VBUS, with recommended continuous operation from 3.9 V to 18 V. This wide range accommodates USB PD, 12 V industrial rails, and high-voltage adapters while maintaining regulation via VINDPM tracking-ensuring safe, efficient charging across diverse power sources without external protection circuitry.
Does the BQ25620RYKR require an external microcontroller to operate?
No-the BQ25620RYKR operates autonomously with no host required: it detects battery state, executes full 4-phase charging (trickle → pre-charge → CC → CV), terminates based on current/voltage thresholds, and enforces JEITA thermal zones using only internal logic and the TS thermistor. I²C is optional for advanced configuration, telemetry, or dynamic profile updates.
How does the NVDC power path in the BQ25620RYKR improve system reliability?
The BQ25620RYKR's NVDC architecture maintains SYS voltage slightly above battery voltage-never falling below a programmable 2.56–3.84 V floor-so the system powers on instantly even with a fully depleted or missing battery. During peak load, it seamlessly supplements from the battery without collapsing SYS, preventing brownouts and enabling graceful power transitions critical for medical and security applications.
What is the ship mode current specification for the BQ25620RYKR?
The BQ25620RYKR achieves 0.15 μA typical battery leakage current in ship mode-verified across temperature and process corners. This ultra-low quiescent draw extends shelf life of battery-powered products to over 12 months without significant capacity loss, meeting stringent requirements for consumer electronics, medical disposables, and IoT edge sensors awaiting deployment.
Can the BQ25620RYKR support USB On-The-Go (OTG) functionality?
Yes-the BQ25620RYKR integrates a synchronous boost converter supporting 3.84–9.6 V output with >90% efficiency down to 100 mA and up to 2.4 A peak current. It automatically engages OTG mode when VBUS is absent and battery voltage exceeds 2.9 V, enabling direct peripheral powering (e.g., USB flash drives, keyboards) without additional ICs or layout complexity.
