PCB Layout

Features
- Dimensions: 40 x 11.5 x 5.5 mm board layout.
- USB Type-C Input: Uses a 16-pin USB-C receptacle with CC pull-down resistors for standard 5V power negotiation.
- 1A Charge Rate: Configured for 1000 mA maximum charge current.
- Status LEDs: On-board LEDs for Power Good (
PG) and Charging (CHG) indication. - Battery Interface: 2-pin JST connector (
J1) for single-cell battery connection. - Thermal Design: Includes a bottom-layer ground pour and 5 thermal vias directly beneath the thermal pad of the charger IC.

Circuit Details and Components
U1(BQ24092DGQT): Linear charger IC handling battery protection and charge profile management.R5($I_{SET1}$): $540,\Omega$ resistor setting the constant current phase ($I_{CHG}$) to 1000 mA.R_PRETERM: $2\text{ k}\Omega$ resistor setting the pre-charge and termination current threshold.R_TS: $10\text{ k}\Omega$ resistor pulling down the temperature sense pin when an external NTC thermistor is not used.C1: $1\mu\text{F}$ input decoupling capacitor.C2: $4.7\mu\text{F}$ output filter capacitor.R1,R2: $1.5\text{ k}\Omega$ current-limiting resistors for thePGandCHGLEDs.
Connections and Usage
- Connect a 5V power supply using a standard USB Type-C cable to receptacle
J2. - Attach a 1S Li-Ion battery to connector
J1. Verify that the battery positive wire connects toBATT+and the negative wire connects toBATT-.
Thermal Management
Because the BQ24092 is a linear charger, power dissipation depends on the voltage difference between input and battery voltage multiplied by the charging current ($P_{diss} = (V_{IN} - V_{BAT}) \times I_{CHG}$).
To manage thermal buildup during 1A charging, the board uses 5 thermal vias placed directly under the exposed pad of the IC, sinking heat into the bottom ground plane.

Questions
How big is the Li ion charger design PCB?
It measures 40 × 11.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Li ion charger design use?
14 parts, built around the BQ24092DGQT. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the Li ion charger design KiCad files?
From the Harshavar8jdm/1S-Li-ion-Battery-Charger-Module repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Li-ion-charger-design.kicad_pcb and its schematic Li-ion-charger-design.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Li ion charger design design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Harshavar8jdm before reusing the design.
