1.2 General Description
The bq24210 series of devices are highly integrated Li-ion linear chargers devices targeted at
space-limited portable applications. The high input voltage range with input overvoltage protection
supports low-cost unregulated adapters. The input voltage regulation loop with programmable input
voltage regulation threshold make it suitable for charging from alternative power sources, such as solar
panel or inductive charging pad. The IC has a single power output that charges the battery. A system load
can be placed in parallel with the battery as long as the average system load does not keep the battery
from charging fully during the 10 hour safety timer.
The battery is charged in three phases: conditioning, constant current and constant voltage. In all charge
phases, an internal control loop monitors the IC junction temperature and reduces the charge current if an
internal temperature threshold is exceeded.
For details, see BQ24210 data sheet (SLUSA76).
