Texas Instruments · Battery Management · VQFN-24-EP(4x4)

BQ24259RGER from Texas Instruments, in a VQFN-24-EP(4x4). Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 VBUS power_in Charger input voltage; internal n-channel reverse-blocking MOSFET (RBFET) is connected between VBUS and PMID with VBUS on source.
2 PSEL input Power source selection input; HIGH indicates USB host source, LOW indicates adapter source.
3 PG output Open-drain active-low power-good indicator; LOW indicates good input source when voltage is between UVLO and ACOV, above SLEEP threshold, and current limit is above 30 mA.
4 STAT output Open-drain charge status output; LOW indicates charge in progress, HIGH indicates charge complete or disabled, blinking at 1 Hz during fault.
5 SCL input I2C interface clock input; connect to logic rail through 10-kΩ resistor.
6 SDA bidirectional I2C interface data bidirectional line; connect to logic rail through 10-kΩ resistor.
7 INT output Open-drain interrupt output; sends 256-µs active-low pulse to host to report charger device status and fault.
8 OTG input Digital USB current limit selection pin during buck mode and active-high enable pin during boost mode; in buck mode with PSEL=High, OTG=High sets IIN to 500 mA, OTG=Low sets to 100 mA.
9 CE input Active-low Charge Enable pin; battery charging is enabled when REG01[5:4] = 01 and CE pin is Low.
10 ILIM input Input current limit setting pin; sets maximum input current limit by regulating ILIM voltage at 1 V with external resistor from ILIM to ground.
11 TS input Analog temperature qualification voltage input; connect negative temperature coefficient thermistor to monitor battery temperature; charge suspends when out of range.
12 QON input BATFET enable control in shipping mode; logic low-to-high transition with minimum 2 ms high level turns on BATFET to exit shipping mode.
13 BAT power_in Battery connection point to positive pin of battery pack; internal BATFET is connected between BAT and SYS.
14 BAT power_in Battery connection point to positive pin of battery pack; internal BATFET is connected between BAT and SYS.
15 SYS power_in System connection point; internal BATFET is connected between BAT and SYS; switch-mode converter maintains SYS above minimum system voltage setting when battery drops below threshold.
16 SYS power_in System connection point; internal BATFET is connected between BAT and SYS; switch-mode converter maintains SYS above minimum system voltage setting when battery drops below threshold.
17 PGND power_in Power ground connection for high-current power converter node; internally connected to source of n-channel LSFET; connect directly to ground of input and output capacitors.
18 PGND power_in Power ground connection for high-current power converter node; internally connected to source of n-channel LSFET; connect directly to ground of input and output capacitors.
19 SW output Switching node connecting to output inductor; internally connected to source of n-channel HSFET and drain of n-channel LSFET.
20 SW output Switching node connecting to output inductor; internally connected to source of n-channel HSFET and drain of n-channel LSFET.
21 BTST power_out PWM high-side driver positive supply output; internally connected to anode of bootstrap diode; connect 0.047-µF bootstrap capacitor from SW to BTST.
22 REGN power_out PWM low-side driver positive supply output; internally connected to cathode of bootstrap diode; serves as bias rail for TS pin.
23 PMID output Connected to drain of reverse-blocking MOSFET and drain of high-side MOSFET; requires 8.2 µF or more capacitance from PMID to PGND.
24 VBUS power_in Charger input voltage; internal n-channel reverse-blocking MOSFET (RBFET) is connected between VBUS and PMID with VBUS on source.
25 EP passive Exposed pad (from the footprint; not named in the datasheet pin table).
