Product details
Overview
BQ25890HRTWT from Texas Instruments is an I²C-controlled 5-A single-cell Li-ion/Li-polymer switch-mode battery charger with integrated power path management, MaxCharge™ handshake support, and adjustable 4.5–5.5 V USB OTG boost. It delivers 93% charge efficiency at 2 A, supports 3.9–14 V input, and enables instant-on operation with deeply discharged or absent batteries.
For engineers reviewing the BQ25890HRTWT datasheet, BQ25890HRTWT pinout, BQ25890HRTWT application, or BQ25890HRTWT equivalent, key selection considerations include input voltage/current regulation accuracy (±3% / ±5%), ±0.5% charge voltage regulation, NVDC power path behavior, thermal regulation at 120°C, and WQFN-24 package compatibility with 4.0 × 4.0 mm footprint.
Technical Context
The BQ25890HRTWT implements a synchronous buck converter with integrated RBFET, HSFET, LSFET, and BATFET - enabling high-efficiency charging (93% @ 2 A) and low-impedance discharge (11 mΩ BATFET). Its power path architecture supports Narrow VDC (NVDC) operation, maintaining SYS ≥ 3.5 V even with zero or deeply depleted battery voltage.
It integrates Input Current Optimizer (ICO) for maximum power point tracking across adapters, Resistance Compensation (IRCOMP) for accurate cell-terminal voltage regulation, and dual-mode USB detection (BC1.2 + MaxCharge™) via D+/D– pins. The device operates in autonomous or I²C-configurable modes, with register-mapped control of charge voltage (3.84–4.608 V), current (0–5056 mA), and input limits (100–3250 mA).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Charge Current | Up to 5 A - enables fast charging of single-cell Li-ion packs in smartphones and tablets. |
| Input Voltage Range | 3.9 V to 14 V - supports USB 2.0/3.0, DCP, CDP, SDP, and high-voltage adapters without external circuitry. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar battery charge management applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BQ25895RTWT | Same WQFN-24 package; adds USB PD 3.0 compliance and enhanced OTG current sensing; removes MaxCharge™ D+/D− handshake. | Required for USB-C PD ecosystems; not suitable for legacy MaxCharge™-only adapters. | Select BQ25895RTWT only if USB PD 3.0 negotiation and bidirectional current monitoring are required. |
| BQ25618RTWT | Lower 3-A max charge current; supports 1-cell and 2-cell configurations; lacks OTG boost; includes fuel gauge interface. | Targeted at cost-sensitive portable devices without OTG requirements and needing battery state-of-charge reporting. | Choose BQ25618RTWT when OTG is unnecessary and integrated fuel gauge communication simplifies BMS design. |
Compared with BQ25890HRTWT, BQ25895RTWT offers USB PD 3.0 but loses MaxCharge™ compatibility, while BQ25618RTWT trades OTG and high-current capability for dual-cell flexibility and fuel gauge integration - making BQ25890HRTWT optimal for MaxCharge™-enabled smartphone/tablet platforms demanding 5-A charging and 2.4-A OTG.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported input voltage for the BQ25890HRTWT?
The BQ25890HRTWT supports an absolute maximum input voltage of 22 V on the VBUS pin, with recommended operating range from 3.9 V to 14 V. This wide range accommodates USB 2.0/3.0 ports, wall adapters, and high-voltage fast-charging sources including those implementing MaxCharge™ handshake protocols. Operation beyond 14 V is limited by internal overvoltage protection thresholds.
Does the BQ25890HRTWT support USB On-The-Go (OTG) functionality?
Yes, the BQ25890HRTWT supports USB OTG through its integrated boost converter, delivering an adjustable 4.5–5.5 V output on VBUS with up to 2.4 A current capability. It features hiccup-mode overcurrent protection, selectable 500 kHz/1.5 MHz switching frequency, and accurate output regulation - all configurable via I²C. The OTG function remains active even when VBUS is disconnected, drawing power solely from the battery.
How does the BQ25890HRTWT manage power path when the battery is absent or deeply discharged?
The BQ25890HRTWT implements Narrow VDC (NVDC) power path management, which maintains the SYS rail at ≥3.5 V regardless of battery presence or state. When no battery is connected or voltage drops below 2.5 V, the device supplies system power directly from VBUS while keeping SYS regulated - enabling instant-on operation. The BATFET remains off until battery voltage rises above the recharge threshold, preventing backfeed.
What thermal protection mechanisms are built into the BQ25890HRTWT?
The BQ25890HRTWT includes programmable thermal regulation at 120°C (typical) and thermal shutdown at 160°C with 30°C hysteresis. When junction temperature exceeds the regulation threshold, the device linearly reduces charge current to maintain safe operating temperature. All thermal responses are hardware-based and independent of I²C control, ensuring fail-safe operation. The WQFN-24 package's exposed PowerPAD enhances heat dissipation with proper PCB vias to PGND.
Can the BQ25890HRTWT be used without I²C communication?
Yes, the BQ25890HRTWT supports fully autonomous operation using factory-programmed default settings and pin-strapped configurations. Charge voltage, current, input limits, and safety thresholds can be set via external resistors (e.g., ILIM pin) and register defaults. I²C is optional for dynamic reconfiguration - such as adjusting OTG voltage or enabling JEITA profiles - but not required for basic charging and power path functions.
