Functional Pin Layout
The BQ24296M uses a 24-pin VQFN configuration designed for efficient heat dissipation and low profile.
-
VBUS (Pin 24): Power supply input from the charger or USB.
-
SW (Pins 20, 21): Switching node connected to the output inductor. BQ 24296M Mobile Phone IC
-
SYS (Pins 15, 16): System output voltage rail for the device. BQ 24296M Mobile Phone IC
-
BAT (Pins 13, 14): Connected to the positive terminal of the battery.BQ 24296M Mobile Phone IC
-
SCL/SDA (Pins 5, 6): $I^2C$ clock and data lines for host communication. BQ 24296M Mobile Phone IC
-
OTG (Pin 7): Active high enable for USB On-The-Go boost mode.
-
TS (Pin 10): Temperature sense input for battery thermistor monitoring.
-
REGN (Pin 22): Internal LDO output (typically $6\text{V}$) for gate driving.
Detailed Operation and Features
1. Narrow VDC (NVDC) Power Path
The BQ24296M utilizes the NVDC power path management architecture. This system allows the smartphone to turn on immediately upon plugging in a charger, even if the battery is fully discharged or missing. The IC regulates the system voltage slightly above the battery voltage but keeps it within a safe operating range for the phone’s main processor.
2. $I^2C$ Serial Interface
Total control of the charging process is managed through the $I^2C$ interface. The host processor (the phone’s CPU) can program parameters such as:
-
Charge Voltage: Adjustable up to $4.4\text{V}$ for high-capacity cells.
-
Termination Current: Sets when the charger should stop pumping current.
-
Safety Timers: Prevents the battery from being charged indefinitely if a fault occurs.
3. High-Performance OTG Boost Mode
In USB OTG mode, the BQ24296M reverses its operation. Instead of stepping down voltage to charge the battery, it steps up the battery voltage to provide $5\text{V}$ at the VBUS pin. This allows the phone to power accessories like USB flash drives, keyboards, or mice. It features a fast OTG startup of approximately $22\text{ms}$.
4. Comprehensive Safety Protections
-
Battery Temperature Sensing: Uses the TS pin to monitor battery heat. If the battery is too cold ($<0^\circ\text{C}$) or too hot ($>45^\circ\text{C}$), charging is suspended.
-
Input Over-Voltage Protection: If the charger input exceeds $6.4\text{V}$, the IC instantly disconnects the internal path to prevent damage.
-
Thermal Shutdown: If the silicon die temperature reaches $160^\circ\text{C}$, the IC enters a safe state to prevent physical damage to the motherboard.
Repair and Troubleshooting Symptoms
In mobile repair (Commonly found in Xiaomi, Vivo, Huawei, and Oppo), this IC is often replaced when:
-
Phone is not charging: Voltage is present at VBUS but absent at the battery connector.
-
Fake Charging: The lightning icon appears, but the battery percentage does not increase.
-
Low REGN Voltage: If the REGN pin measures below $5.5\text{V}-6\text{V}$ when plugged in, the IC is usually faulty.
-
Heating Issue: The IC gets burning hot immediately upon plugging in a charging cable.
BQ24296M vs. BQ25601
While both are 3A chargers, the BQ24296M is an earlier generation compared to the BQ25601. The BQ24296M has a slightly lower input voltage limit ($6.2\text{V}$ vs $13.5\text{V}$ for the 25601) and different $I^2C$ register maps. They are generally not directly interchangeable without modifying the phone’s firmware or PCB.
