TI claims the BQ25892 is the industry's first fully integrated 5A single-cell Li-ion battery-charger circuit which reduces charge time by up to 60% compared to existing battery chargers. The company's MaxCharge technology offers a minimal 18°C temperature rise while charging to improve both the user experience and extend the overall life of electronics in many Li-ion applications, including smartphones, tablets, drones, power banks, and industrial and medical equipment.
Other features of the BQ25892 include its peak 9A current which can provide an instant system-power burst. A thermal regulation loop controls excess heat and thermal performance meaning its charging efficiency at 3.5A is up to 91%. It comes in a 4mm by 4mm, 24pin quad flat no-lead (QFN) package and is pin-to-pin compatible with the range of TI's BQ24192 chargers and adaptors.
