Product details
Overview
BQ25898YFFR from Texas Instruments is a highly-integrated 4-A I²C-controlled single-cell Li-ion/Li-polymer battery charger with MaxCharge™ technology, supporting 3.9 V to 14 V input voltage range, 4.208 V ±0.5% charge voltage regulation, and USB On-the-Go boost mode (4.5–5.5 V, up to 2.4 A). It delivers fast charging for smartphones and tablets with integrated power path management, Input Current Optimizer (ICO), and remote battery sensing.
For engineers reviewing the BQ25898YFFR datasheet, BQ25898YFFR pinout, BQ25898YFFR application, or BQ25898YFFR equivalent, key selection considerations include its 42-ball DSBGA package, 1.5-MHz buck switching frequency, NVDC power path enabling instant-on operation, integrated ADC for system monitoring, and support for USB BC1.2/DCP/MaxCharge™ adapter detection.
Technical Context
The BQ25898YFFR implements a synchronous buck converter with integrated RBFET, HSFET, LSFET, and BATFET - achieving 92% charge efficiency at 3 A and 91% at 4 A. Its power path architecture maintains SYS above 3.5 V even with deeply discharged or absent battery via NVDC control.
It supports dual-mode USB OTG boost (1.5 MHz / 500 kHz) with hiccup-mode overcurrent protection and integrates critical analog functions: 7-bit ADC for VBUS/BAT/SYS/TS/ICHG monitoring, programmable D+/D− handshake for high-voltage adapters, and resistance compensation (IRCOMP) for accurate cell-terminal voltage regulation.

Pinout & Package
Package: 42-ball DSBGA (YFF), 2.8 mm × 2.5 mm, 0.4 mm pitch, bottom-side thermal pad.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VBUS | Input power rail | Accepts 3.9–14 V source; connects internally to reverse-blocking FET (RBFET) source; requires local 1-µF ceramic decoupling. |
| BAT | Battery terminal | Direct connection to Li-ion anode; internal 5-mΩ BATFET enables low-loss discharge up to 9 A peak. |
| SYS | System power rail | Regulated output (≥3.5 V) supplied by BATFET or buck converter; powers SoC/PMIC independently of battery state. |
| SW | Switching node | Drain of HSFET/source of LSFET; connects to external inductor and 0.047 µF bootstrap capacitor to BTST. |
| BTST | High-side gate driver supply | Supplies bootstrap circuit for HSFET gate drive; requires 0.047 µF capacitor to SW. |
| REGN | Low-side gate driver LDO | 6-V regulated output powering TS bias and internal logic; requires 4.7 µF ceramic capacitor to AGND. |
| TS | Battery temperature sense | Analog input for NTC thermistor divider; suspends charge if outside JEITA-compliant window. |

| QON | BATFET control | Active-low signal to exit ship mode (1 s pulse) or trigger full system reset (19.5 s pulse). |
| INT/STAT | Fault/status reporting | Open-drain outputs: INT pulses on fault; STAT blinks 1 Hz during faults, pulls low during charge. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Input Current Optimizer (ICO) | Dynamically adjusts input current limit to extract maximum power from unknown adapters without overload - eliminates manual adapter characterization. |
| Resistance Compensation (IRCOMP) | Compensates for PCB trace resistance between charger output and battery terminal - ensures ±0.5% voltage accuracy at cell anode. |
| Integrated Power MOSFETs | Full buck path (RBFET/HSFET/LSFET) + BATFET (5 mΩ) - removes 5 discrete FETs and associated gate drivers from BOM. |
| USB OTG Boost Flexibility | Selectable 500 kHz / 1.5 MHz switching and 4.5–5.5 V output - balances efficiency vs. EMI for diverse peripheral loads. |
| Ship Mode Leakage | 12 µA quiescent current with BATFET disabled - extends shelf life to >1 year for pre-shipped devices. |

FAQ
What is the I²C address of the BQ25898YFFR?
The BQ25898YFFR uses a fixed 7-bit I²C slave address of 0x6B (1101011b). This differs from the pin-compatible BQ25898DYFFR (0x6A), allowing coexistence on the same bus when both variants are used in modular designs. The address is hardwired and cannot be changed via pins or registers.
Does the BQ25898YFFR support USB Battery Charging Specification v1.2?
Yes, the BQ25898YFFR supports USB BC1.2 detection for SDP, CDP, and DCP through its PSEL pin and internal detection circuitry. It identifies standard USB hosts and chargers without requiring external components, enabling automatic input current limit configuration per USB spec.
How does the Input Current Optimizer (ICO) function in the BQ25898YFFR?
The BQ25898YFFR's ICO continuously monitors VBUS and input current to detect the maximum power point of unknown adapters. It dynamically adjusts the input current limit to draw peak power without collapsing VBUS - eliminating the need for pre-characterized adapter profiles in firmware.
Can the BQ25898YFFR operate without a battery connected?
Yes, the BQ25898YFFR supports true instant-on operation with no battery or deeply discharged battery. Its NVDC power path maintains SYS ≥3.5 V directly from VBUS, allowing the host system to boot and function immediately - a critical feature for retail demo units and field-service tools.
What thermal protection mechanisms does the BQ25898YFFR implement?
The BQ25898YFFR features programmable thermal regulation that begins reducing charge current when junction temperature exceeds 120°C, plus thermal shutdown at 150°C. These protections are hardware-based and operate independently of I²C commands, ensuring fail-safe operation during sustained high-power charging.
