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.
