The bq24750A is a high-efficiency, synchronous battery charger with integrated compensation and system power selector logic, offering low component count for space-constrained multi-chemistry battery charging applications. Ratiometric charge current and voltage programming allows high regulation accuracies, and can be either hardwired with resistors or programmed by the system power-management microcontroller using a DAC or GPIOs.

The bq24750A charges two, three, or four series Li+ cells, supporting up to 10 A of charge current, and is available in a 28-pin, 5x5-mm QFN package.

The bq24750A controls external switches to prevent battery discharge back to the input, connect the adapter to the system, and to connect the battery to the system using 6-V gate drives for better system efficiency. For maximum system safety, inrush-power limiting provides instantaneous response to high input voltage multiplied by current. This AC Over-Power protection (ACOP) feature limits the input-switch power to the programmed level on the ACOP pin, and latches off if the high-power condition persists to prevent overheating.Read more
