Product details
Overview
BQ25883RGER from Texas Instruments is a 2-cell (2s) Li-ion battery charger IC with integrated power path management, USB On-The-Go (OTG) buck converter, and I²C control. It delivers 2-A boost-mode charging, supports 3.9–6.2 V USB input, regulates charge voltage to ±0.5% accuracy, and enables instant-on system operation with deeply discharged or absent batteries - used in portable POS terminals and wireless security cameras.
For engineers reviewing the BQ25883RGER datasheet, BQ25883RGER pinout, BQ25883RGER application, or BQ25883RGER equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.5 MHz switching frequency, dual-mode operation (charge + OTG), integrated 16-bit ADC for bus/battery monitoring, NVDC power path architecture, and support for USB BC1.2 D+/D− detection.
Technical Context
The BQ25883RGER implements a synchronous boost converter for 2s battery charging and a separate synchronous buck converter for USB OTG output (4.5–5.5 V, up to 2 A). Its power path uses a 17 mΩ BATFET and narrow VDC (NVDC) architecture to maintain regulated SYS voltage independent of battery state.
Control is fully I²C-based with register-mapped configuration of charge/OTG parameters, input current optimization (ICO), JEITA-compliant thermistor monitoring via TS pin, and real-time ADC measurements of VBUS, IBUS, VBAT, IBAT, VSYS, die temperature, and NTC voltage.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar battery charger applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BQ25882RGER | Same 2s, 2-A boost charger; lacks integrated 16-bit ADC and has WCSP-25 package (2.1×2.1 mm). | No on-chip bus/battery monitoring; requires external ADC or MCU analog inputs for telemetry. | Select when board space is constrained and system-level monitoring is handled externally. |
| BQ25887RGER | Same VQFN-24 package; adds cell balancing but removes OTG functionality and power path. | Supports balanced 2s charging but cannot power USB peripherals or maintain SYS rail during charge. | Select only if cell balancing is mandatory and OTG/system power path are not required. |
Compared with BQ25882RGER, BQ25883RGER adds integrated telemetry and OTG capability at the cost of larger footprint; compared with BQ25887RGER, it trades cell balancing for full power-path and host-mode flexibility - making BQ25883RGER optimal for portable devices needing both charging and USB host capability.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported battery configuration for the BQ25883RGER?
The BQ25883RGER is explicitly designed for 2-cell (2s) Li-ion or Li-polymer battery packs, supporting total battery voltages up to 9.2 V. It does not support 1s, 3s, or higher configurations - attempting to use outside the 2s range may result in incorrect charge termination, overvoltage, or thermal faults. The device's charge voltage regulation range (6.8–9.2 V) and JEITA thresholds are calibrated for 2s chemistry.
Does the BQ25883RGER support USB BC1.2 detection without external components?
Yes, the BQ25883RGER integrates full USB Battery Charging Specification 1.2 (BC1.2) detection on D+ and D− pins, including data contact detection (DCD) and secondary detection for SDP, CDP, and DCP identification. No external comparators, resistors, or switches are needed - the internal circuitry handles all voltage threshold comparisons and current sourcing/sinking per BC1.2 requirements.
Can the BQ25883RGER operate in OTG mode while the battery is charging?
No, the BQ25883RGER does not support simultaneous charging and OTG operation. When OTG mode is enabled (via I²C register), charging is automatically disabled and the internal power path reconfigures to supply VBUS from the battery. This hardware-enforced mutual exclusion prevents backfeed, thermal overload, and control conflicts - ensuring safe operation per USB specifications.
What is the purpose of the ILIM pin on the BQ25883RGER?
The ILIM pin on the BQ25883RGER sets the input current limit (IINDPM) from 500 mA to 3.3 A using an external resistor to ground. It functions as both a programming interface (via voltage divider) and a real-time monitor - the IC regulates the pin at 0.8 V and calculates actual input current as IIN = KILIM × VILIM / (RILIM × 0.8 V). This enables adapter-aware power management without MCU intervention.
How does the BQ25883RGER handle thermal regulation during high-current operation?
The BQ25883RGER implements junction-temperature-based thermal regulation at 120°C, dynamically reducing charge current to maintain safe operating temperature. Unlike simple shutdown, this feature sustains partial operation - allowing continued charging at derated current while preventing thermal runaway. The regulation is complemented by die temperature ADC readings (0.5°C LSB) and configurable thermal fault thresholds via I²C registers.
