BQ24013DRCR

Battery Chargers Overview

The BQ24013DRCR is a linear single-cell lithium-ion and lithium-polymer battery charger IC from Texas Instruments. It operates within a supply voltage range of 3 V to 16.5 V and delivers a programmable constant charging current up to 1 A. The device regulates the output voltage to 4.2 V for standard Li-Ion cells. It utilizes a 10-VSON (3x3 mm) surface-mount package with an exposed pad for thermal dissipation. The component supports operation across an extended temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Battery Chargers Feature Summary

• Supports programmable charge current and timer-based termination for single-cell lithium batteries
• Integrates automatic pre-charge, constant-current, and constant-voltage charging profiles
• Includes thermal regulation to limit die temperature during high-power charging operations

Battery Chargers Applications

• Portable consumer electronics requiring single-cell power management
• Handheld devices utilizing lithium-ion or lithium-polymer battery packs
• Industrial equipment with compact form factor constraints

Battery Chargers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix DRCR against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm package dimensions and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB footprint for the 10-VSON package. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official documentation before integration into regulated assemblies.

Battery Chargers Selection Notes

Select this component when a wide input voltage range up to 16.5 V is required for direct adapter connection. Choose this part over lower-voltage variants if system design allows for higher source potentials. Consider the thermal performance of the VSON package relative to the expected ambient operating conditions and board copper area.
