BQ24257RGET

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

BQ24257RGET from Texas Instruments, in a VQFN-24(4x4). Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 CE input Active-low charge enable input; connecting CE to a high logic level places the battery charger in standby mode.
2 D+ input BC1.2 compatible D+/D- based adapter detection input that detects DCP, SDP and CDP and is connected to the USB port D+ output at power-up.
3 D- input BC1.2 compatible D+/D- based adapter detection input paired with D+ and connected to the USB port D- output at power-up.
4 AGND power_in Analog ground for the QFN package; connect to the thermal pad and the ground plane of the circuit.
5 SDA bidirectional I2C interface data line; connect SDA to the logic rail through a 10 kΩ resistor.
6 SCL input I2C interface clock input; connect SCL to the logic rail through a 10 kΩ resistor.
7 STAT output Open-drain status output that pulls low during charging, is high impedance when charging is complete or the charger is disabled, and sends a 256 µs fault interrupt pulse; connect through a 10 kΩ resistor or an LED to a logic rail.
8 PG output Open-drain power-good output (/PG) that is pulled low when a valid supply is connected to IN, where valid means between VBAT+VSLP and VOVP, and is high impedance otherwise.
9 TS input Battery pack NTC monitor input; connect to the center tap of a resistor divider from LDO to GND with the NTC from TS to GND, providing four thresholds for JEITA or PSE compatibility.
10 ISET input Charge current programming input; connect a resistor from ISET to GND to program the fast charge current.
11 BAT bidirectional Battery connection to the positive battery terminal; bypass BAT with at least 20 µF capacitor to GND.
12 BAT bidirectional Battery connection to the positive battery terminal (second BAT pin); bypass BAT with at least 20 µF capacitor to GND.
13 CSIN input System voltage sense and SMPS output filter connection; connect to the system output at the output bulk capacitors and bypass locally with at least 1 µF.
14 CSIN input System voltage sense and SMPS output filter connection (second CSIN pin); connect to the system output at the output bulk capacitors and bypass locally with at least 1 µF.
15 PGND power_in Power ground terminal; connect to the ground plane of the circuit and, for the QFN package, to the thermal pad of the IC.
16 PGND power_in Power ground terminal (second PGND pin); connect to the ground plane of the circuit and, for the QFN package, to the thermal pad of the IC.
17 SW output Inductor connection; connect to the switching side of the external inductor.
18 SW output Inductor connection (second SW pin); connect to the switching side of the external inductor.
19 IN power_in Input power supply connected to the external DC supply (AC adapter or USB port); bypass IN to PGND with >2 µF ceramic capacitor.
20 PMID passive Connection between the blocking FET and the high-side FET; connect a 1 µF capacitor from PMID to PGND as close to the PMID and PGND pins as possible.
21 BOOT input High-side MOSFET gate driver supply; connect a 0.033 µF ceramic capacitor with voltage rating >15 V from BOOT to SW.
22 ILIM input Input current limit programming input; a resistor to GND sets the limit from 0.5 A to 2 A, with ILIM shorted to GND for a 2 A default, and it has no effect on the USB input.
23 VDPM input Input DPM programming input; a resistor divider between IN and GND with the center tap on VDPM sets the VIN_DPM threshold with a 1.2 V regulator reference, and shorting to GND gives a default of 4.36 V.
24 LDO power_out LDO output regulated to 4.9 V that drives up to 50 mA; bypass LDO with a 1 µF ceramic capacitor and it is enabled when VUVLO < VIN < 19 V.
25 EP passive Exposed pad (from the footprint; not named in the datasheet pin table).
