3 Description
The BQ25188 is a linear battery charger IC focusing
on small solution size and low quiescent current for
extending battery life. The device is available in an
8-ball chipscale package which does not need HDI
PCB process for fabrication thereby reducing the PCB
cost. The device can support up to 1A charging and
system loads of up to 3A.
