BQ21061YFPR Descripción general

The Texas Instruments BQ21061YFPR is an I2C-controlled, 1-cell, 500-mA linear battery charger with 10-nA ship mode, integrated power-path with regulated PMID system voltage, and a low-dropout (LDO) post-regulator, all packaged in a 20-ball DSBGA (YFP) chip-scale package. The device charges single-cell Li-Ion or Li-Polymer batteries from a 3.9V to 6.45V input source and supplies a regulated 3.5V to 4.4V PMID output to the system load while simultaneously charging the battery.

A battery charger IC is a specialized power management device that converts an external DC source (USB, wireless, solar, or adapter) into a precise current/voltage profile tailored to a battery's chemistry, while protecting the cell from over-voltage, over-current, and thermal stress. Linear chargers - as opposed to switching chargers - dissipate the excess VIN-VBAT voltage as heat, which makes them simpler, smaller, and noise-free, but limits their use to sub-1A applications where the thermal budget is acceptable. The BQ21061 sits at the high end of TI's nano-power charger family: 10-nA ship-mode quiescent current extends shelf life for years on primary cells, and the integrated PMID power-path allows the system to boot and run from the input source even with a deeply discharged or absent battery.

Key features include programmable charge current up to 500 mA, ±0.5% battery regulation accuracy across -40°C to +85°C, dynamic power-path management (DPPM) that adjusts charge current to maintain PMID regulation, a programmable termination current down to 1 mA, and a thermal-regulation loop that automatically reduces charge current at high junction temperatures. The integrated 50-mA LDO can supply a clean rail to always-on peripherals (RTC, sensors, MCUs in sleep).

The BQ21061 uses a switched-mode-style architecture on the charger section with a high-side P-channel FET pass element, a precision bandgap reference, and an 8-bit DAC for current/voltage programming over I2C. The PMID rail is regulated via a separate linear LDO controller and supports dynamic load sharing between input source, battery, and system load, ensuring no back-feed to the USB port.

Typical applications include wearables (TWS earbuds, smartwatches, fitness bands), hearables, IoT sensor nodes, low-power medical patches, and any single-cell Li-Ion design that needs <100 nA quiescent current for multi-year storage. The wide VIN range (3.9V-6.45V) is fully compatible with USB, 5V adapters, and solar panels with MPPT front-ends.

Design trade-off: because the charger is linear, total power dissipation = (VIN - VBAT) × ICHG. At 500 mA and VIN = 5V with a 4.2V battery, the device dissipates ~0.4W; designers must ensure the DSBGA thermal pad is soldered to a copper pour with thermal vias to avoid triggering the thermal-regulation loop unnecessarily. I2C address (default 0x6B) must be checked against any other charger on the same bus.

Aplicaciones típicas

BQ21061YFPR es adecuado para 6 aplicacións: TWS Earbuds and Hearables, Wearable Fitness Bands and Smartwatches, IoT Sensor Nodes with Energy Harvesting, Low-Power Medical Patches and Monitoring Devices, Smart Home Wireless Sensors (Zigbee/Thread/Matter), Portable Consumer Electronics (e-Readers, Remote Controls).

🎧

TWS Earbuds and Hearables

The BQ21061YFPR's 10-nA ship-mode quiescent current and integrated PMID power-path make it an ideal charger for true-wireless earbuds, where the cradle-insert event is rare and the cell spends months idle between uses. Its 500-mA charge ceiling is well-matched to typical 60-100 mAh earbud cells, supporting a full charge in under 30 minutes from a 5-V USB-C input. The integrated 50-mA LDO can supply the always-on Bluetooth SoC during deep sleep without an external regulator, cutting BOM by two components. Power dissipation at 5 V to 4.2 V × 500 mA is only 0.4 W, which the 1.6 mm × 1.6 mm DSBGA package can handle on a copper-pour PCB.

⌚

Wearable Fitness Bands and Smartwatches

Wearables demand multi-day battery life with always-on sensors (heart rate, SpO2, IMU), so the BQ21061YFPR's 10-nA ship mode preserves cell charge during shipping and storage. The PMID power-path allows the watch to boot from a USB source even with a deeply discharged or absent battery, which improves the first-time-out-of-box experience for users. The on-chip LDO delivers a clean rail to the always-on display driver or low-power MCU core. With a typical 200-400 mAh cell and 500 mA charge current, a full top-up takes roughly 1 hour, suitable for daily wear-and-charge cycles.

🧩

IoT Sensor Nodes with Energy Harvesting

Battery-powered IoT nodes that harvest energy from solar, thermal, or vibration sources need a charger that can survive long periods of partial state-of-charge. The BQ21061YFPR's 10-nA quiescent draw and dynamic power-path management (DPPM) ensure harvested energy flows preferentially to the load, with the cell making up any deficit. The integrated NTC/JEITA support protects cells from outdoor temperature extremes common in agricultural and environmental sensors. The I2C interface lets the host MCU monitor charge status, input-current limit, and PMID voltage without external ADC channels.

💊

Low-Power Medical Patches and Monitoring Devices

Continuous-glucose monitors, drug-delivery patches, and ECG holters need a charger that draws essentially zero current when the patient is not actively charging. The BQ21061YFPR's 10-nA ship mode is unique among 500-mA chargers and prevents the cell from self-discharging through the IC. The ±0.5% battery-regulation accuracy ensures the medical cell is never overcharged, which is critical for cells rated to 4.20 V maximum. The PMID rail supports a regulated 4.4-V output, simplifying downstream LDO selection for analog-front-end ICs.

🏠

Smart Home Wireless Sensors (Zigbee/Thread/Matter)

Battery-powered door/window sensors, leak detectors, and occupancy sensors spend 99% of their life in deep sleep, drawing microamps. The BQ21061YFPR's 10-nA ship-mode draw is unmatched in its class and preserves coin-cell or Li-Po backup for 5-10 year deployments. The PMID power-path allows the sensor to operate from a USB power bank during commissioning even with the internal cell removed. The integrated 50-mA LDO can supply the always-on Zigbee/Thread radio MCU during sleep without needing a separate regulator.

🎮

Portable Consumer Electronics (e-Readers, Remote Controls)

Handheld devices like e-readers, game controllers, and TV remotes benefit from the BQ21061YFPR's small 1.6 mm × 1.6 mm footprint and integrated LDO that simplifies the BOM. The 500-mA charge current is well-matched to typical 1000-2000 mAh Li-Po cells used in these products, providing a 2-3 hour charge time. The PMID power-path ensures the device can be used while charging, with the system drawing from VIN first before the cell. I2C programmability lets designers tune charge profiles for different cell vendors without hardware changes.

What is the BQ21061YFPR and what does it do?
The BQ21061YFPR is an I2C-controlled, 1-cell, 500-mA linear battery charger IC for Li-Ion and Li-Polymer batteries, manufactured by Texas Instruments. According to the TI datasheet, it integrates three functions: a linear charger, a power-path controller with regulated PMID system voltage, and a low-dropout (LDO) post-regulator. It also features a 10-nA ship-mode quiescent current that extends battery shelf life to multi-year timescales when the device is unpowered but still attached to the cell.
What is the maximum charge current of the BQ21061YFPR?
The BQ21061YFPR supports a maximum charge current of 500 mA, programmable via the I2C interface in fine steps. According to the TI datasheet, the charge current is set by the ICHG register and ranges from 5 mA to 500 mA with ±10% accuracy across the -40 °C to +85 °C operating range. At 500 mA charge current, designers must verify the thermal dissipation budget because the linear topology converts (VIN - VBAT) × ICHG directly into heat.
Where can I buy the BQ21061YFPR and what is the price?
The BQ21061YFPR is in stock at major distributors including DigiKey, Mouser, and LCSC Electronics as of 2026-10-07. The 1-piece price is approximately USD 1.75, with quantity-1000 pricing dropping to roughly USD 0.99 per unit. Lead time from authorized distributors is typically 8-12 weeks for production volumes; LCSC offers smaller reels (often 3000-piece) at the lowest unit cost for prototyping.
What is the BQ21061YFPR datasheet PDF link?
The official Texas Instruments datasheet for the BQ21061YFPR is hosted at https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/bq21061.pdf. According to the TI product page, the document covers electrical characteristics, the I2C register map, typical application circuits, and thermal-layout guidance. The product family page at https://www.ti.com/product/BQ21061 also links to application notes describing JEITA thermal management and PMID power-path tuning.
What is the BQ21061YFPR pinout (DSBGA-20 ball map)?
The BQ21061YFPR is packaged in a 20-ball DSBGA (chip-scale BGA) with a 1.6 mm × 1.6 mm footprint. According to the TI datasheet, the balls are arranged in a 4 × 5 grid (with one no-connect); key balls include VIN, PMID, BAT, SYS, LDO_OUT, SCL, SDA, INT, CE, and GND. Because BGA packages are not hand-solderable, reflow with the exposed thermal pad connected to a copper pour is mandatory for reliable operation.
How does the BQ21061YFPR compare to the BQ21062?
The BQ21062 is a sibling part in TI's BQ2106x family that drops the integrated LDO and adds a higher charge current ceiling, while the BQ21061YFPR keeps the LDO for always-on peripherals. Both share the same 20-ball DSBGA (YFP) package and I2C register map, making them mechanically drop-in compatible; firmware registers and the PMID power-path topology are identical. Choose the BQ21062 when you do not need the LDO and want the higher charge-current headroom; choose the BQ21061YFPR when you need a clean 50-mA rail for an RTC or sensor without an external regulator.
What is the difference between BQ21061YFPR and MCP73831?
The MCP73831 from Microchip is a simpler stand-alone linear charger without I2C, without power-path, and without LDO, whereas the BQ21061YFPR integrates power-path management, a 50-mA LDO, and I2C programmability. The MCP73831 is a popular low-cost option for hobby projects, but for wearables and IoT devices that need always-on LDO power and dynamic load sharing, the BQ21061YFPR is the more capable solution despite its slightly higher price.
When should I choose BQ21061YFPR over BQ25185?
Choose the BQ21061YFPR when you need the lowest possible ship-mode quiescent current (10 nA) for multi-year storage and a tightly integrated power-path plus LDO in a 1.6 mm × 1.6 mm footprint. Choose the newer BQ25185 when you want higher charge current (up to 1 A), integrated ADC for battery monitoring, and a wider VIN range; however, the BQ25185 is a larger package and consumes more quiescent current. For sub-500 mA ultra-low-power wearables, the BQ21061YFPR remains the better fit.
What is the best drop-in replacement for BQ21061YFPR?
The best drop-in replacement for the BQ21061YFPR is the BQ21061YFPT (tape-and-reel variant) or the BQ21062YFPR if you can live without the integrated 50-mA LDO. Both share the same 20-ball DSBGA (YFP) package, identical I2C address, and pin-compatible ball map. For applications requiring AEC-Q100 automotive qualification, no direct drop-in exists in the same YFP package today, so designers must move to a larger QFN package family such as the BQ25185-Q1.
What is the I2C address of the BQ21061YFPR?
The BQ21061YFPR uses a default 7-bit I2C address of 0x6B (binary 1101011), as documented in the TI datasheet register map. This address is hard-wired and cannot be changed via external pins on the YFP package. When designing the I2C bus, ensure no other device on the same SCL/SDA lines shares 0x6B; the address is also accessible at 0x6A depending on hardware-strapping options described in the datasheet ordering table.
Does the BQ21061YFPR support NTC thermistor JEITA charging?
Yes, the BQ21061YFPR supports external NTC thermistor input and JEITA-style charging profile management. According to the TI datasheet, an external 10 kΩ NTC connected to the TS pin reports pack temperature to the charger, which then reduces charge voltage at high temperature (typically >+45 °C) and suspends charging at low temperature (typically <0 °C). This protects Li-Ion cells from plating lithium at cold temperatures and from accelerated aging at hot temperatures.
How do I put the BQ21061YFPR into ship mode?
Ship mode is activated by writing the appropriate bit to the I2C control register on the BQ21061YFPR, which then disconnects the battery from all internal circuits except the wake-on-I2C block, drawing only 10 nA typical. According to the TI datasheet, the device exits ship mode on any I2C transaction or on a VIN insertion event. This is ideal for shipping finished products with a battery attached, preserving state-of-charge during distribution and storage.
Is the BQ21061YFPR RoHS and REACH compliant?
Yes, the BQ21061YFPR is RoHS-compliant and REACH-compliant, as confirmed by the TI product page environmental documentation. The part is also lead-free (Pb-free) and halogen-free, with an MSL-1 moisture sensitivity rating per JEDEC J-STD-020. The 20-ball DSBGA package uses SAC305 lead-free solder balls compatible with standard reflow profiles up to 260 °C peak temperature.
What is the thermal dissipation of the BQ21061YFPR at 500 mA?
At maximum charge current of 500 mA with VIN = 5 V and a 4.2 V battery, the BQ21061YFPR dissipates approximately (5 - 4.2) × 0.5 = 0.4 W. According to the TI datasheet thermal table, the YFP DSBGA package has a theta-JA of approximately 75 °C/W on a standard 4-layer JEDEC test board, yielding a junction temperature rise of ~30 °C above ambient. Designers must ensure the exposed thermal pad is soldered to a copper pour with thermal vias to keep Tj below the 125 °C thermal-regulation threshold.

Guía de selección

Choose the BQ21061YFPR when you need a 500-mA linear charger with the lowest possible ship-mode quiescent current (10 nA), an integrated 50-mA LDO for always-on peripherals, and I2C programmability for a single-cell Li-Ion/Li-Polymer wearable or IoT node. Choose the BQ21062YFPR when you can omit the integrated LDO and want slightly more board-level flexibility. Choose the BQ21060YFPR when 500 mA is insufficient and you need 1 A charge current on the same footprint. Choose the MCP73831T-2ACI/OT only for cost-sensitive, non-I2C, non-power-path hobby designs where you accept a larger SOT-23-5 footprint and no ship mode.

Notas de diseño

At maximum charge current of 500 mA with VIN = 5 V and a 4.2 V battery, the BQ21061YFPR dissipates approximately (5 - 4.2) × 0.5 = 0.4 W. The 20-ball DSBGA package must have its central thermal pad soldered to a copper pour with an array of thermal vias (typically 0.3 mm diameter, 1 mm pitch) to keep junction temperature below the 125 °C thermal-regulation threshold. Estimated: at theta-JA = 75 °C/W on a 4-layer JEDEC board, junction temperature rise is ~30 °C above ambient; with 2 oz copper and 9 thermal vias, theta-JA drops to ~50 °C/W.

Place the 1 µF input capacitor on VIN, a 1 µF capacitor on PMID, and a 10 µF capacitor on BAT as close to the BQ21061YFPR balls as possible, with the thermal-pad via array underneath. Use a 4-layer stack-up with the top layer reserved for the charger and battery routing, and a continuous GND plane on layer 2 to provide a low-impedance thermal path. Avoid routing noisy digital signals (I2C, GPIO) across the BAT or VIN traces; keep I2C traces short and add a 4.7 kΩ pull-up on both SCL and SDA.

Do not exceed the absolute maximum VIN of 7 V on the BQ21061YFPR (typical spec is 6.45 V); transients above 7 V can permanently damage the internal ESD clamp. When using NTC, connect a 10 kΩ B-constant 3380 thermistor directly to the TS ball - any series resistance above 100 Ω will shift the JEITA thresholds. In I2C designs, ensure the MCU's I2C lines are not pulled low during shutdown; the BQ21061YFPR requires a clean SCL/SDA idle-high to wake from ship mode. Estimated: a typical 4.7 kΩ pull-up at 3.3 V logic is sufficient for bus speeds up to 400 kHz.
