BQ24610RGET

BQ24610RGET is a Texas Instruments Li‑ion battery charger IC with integrated power-path management. It charges a single-cell Li‑ion battery from a 5V input (USB or adaptor) and can also power the system while charging, thanks to its Power-Path architecture. Key features include:
- Constant-current/constant-voltage charging with programmable charge current
- Pre-charge, termination, and protections (overvoltage, thermal/overcurrent, input issues)
- System load sharing and protection to prevent battery drain when the input is present
RGET is the TI packaging/lot code suffix for this device, indicating a RoHS-compliant, lead-free package in a specific packaging format (e.g., tape-and-reel). The exact package type (for example, VSSOP-16 or WSON-16) is defined in the datasheet and you should verify the current revision for packaging details.
Typical use: portable devices (phones, wearables) needing a compact, efficient charger with automatic power-path behavior. For exact electrical specs and the particular package, consult the BQ24610 data sheet and product folder.

Here are the key features of TI bq24610RGET (concise):
- Standalone Li‑ion/Li‑pol battery charger with integrated MOSFETs and power-path management.
- Input: USB/5V input (typical 5V supply; supports standard portable power sources).
- Programmable charge current via PROG pin (up to about 1.5 A, configurable).
- Constant-current, constant-voltage charging with a fixed CV regulation around 4.20 V.
- Preconditioning for deeply discharged cells and automatic recharge when voltage falls below threshold.
- Battery temperature monitoring via thermistor input (temperature-aware charging).
- Safety protections: overcurrent/short-circuit, overvoltage, input UVLO, and thermal/OTP protection.
- Dynamic power-path behavior: system load can be powered while charging, aiding power management.
- Standalone operation (no MCU required) with simple status indication.
- Small 8-pin package (RGET) suitable for compact devices.
Note: Exact programmable ranges and pinout are per the TI data sheet for the RGET package.

BQ24610RGET is available in a 20‑pin VQFN (QFN) package with an exposed pad.

- Pin count: 8 pins (RGET denotes an 8-pin package, e.g., MSOP-8/WSON-8).
- Function: TI bq24610RGET is a stand-alone single-cell Li‑ion/Li‑polymer battery charger with power-path management. It handles USB/AC input, regulates charging current and termination, provides pre-charge, safety timers, and status outputs, and includes an enable/shutdown input and programming via PROG.
