Description

Design functions and applications

Compact USB-C lithium-battery charger and 5V boost-converter design using BQ24075 and PAM2401 for portable electronics.

Main chips and their roles

Chip Role in the design
BQ24075 Lithium-battery charging IC identified in the upstream design.
PAM2401 Boost-converter IC used for the target 5V output.

Key design functions

  • Combines battery charging and voltage boosting in a 24 × 34 mm upstream layout.
  • USB-C input and charging/status indicators in the assembled design.
  • Upstream documentation describes a 500mA default charging setting; confirm the actual component configuration before selecting a battery.

Typical applications

  • Power subsystems for portable microcontroller projects.
  • Rechargeable sensor nodes and small electronic prototypes.
  • Learning battery charging and DC-DC boost-converter integration.

Application examples require suitable firmware and external hardware. Functions and chips describe the assembled design; the PCB-only option contains no components. Actual PCBA population and any programming or testing requirements should be confirmed for the order.

Upstream design reference

LiPo Charger & 5V Booster — PCB / PCBA

A compact power-board design based on the open-source LiPo Charger Booster / Compact Power Combo project by DIY GUY Chris (BEEMB). Choose a bare PCB or an assembled board.

Option Price per piece Shipping weight Contents Production lead time
PCB Only USD $2.00 50 g One bare PCB; no electronic components 2-3 days
PCBA USD $4.50 60 g One populated and soldered board 5-10 days after payment confirmation

PCBA is made to order. The production lead time excludes shipping transit time.

About the design

The upstream project combines a BQ24075 lithium-battery charger with a PAM2401 boost converter, USB-C input and status LEDs on a 24 × 34 mm board. It targets a 5V boosted output. These are upstream design details, not an independently verified performance rating for this listing.

What is included?

  • PCB Only: one unpopulated printed circuit board; all components are excluded.
  • PCBA: one assembled circuit board. Battery, cables and enclosure are not included.

The supplied image is a bare PCB render, not a photograph of an assembled or tested PCBA.

Design notes

The original author reports charger/booster output contention in early versions. Review the upstream design notes and confirm the manufacturing revision and output isolation before production/use. Match the battery type, charging settings and polarity to the design, and verify the output before connecting a load. The markings on the render are not a DIYIPCB test certificate.
