Multi-source LiPoly/LiIon charger based on the bq24074 with a 5–10V input range, accepting USB, DC, or solar. Near-MPPT behavior automatically reduces current draw when input voltage dips below 4.5V.
Optional external 10k NTC thermistor input after cutting the THERM jumper; thermistor also connects to battery negative lead.
Power Good status, active low open-drain output. Pulls to GND when a valid input source is connected.
Charge status, active low open-drain output. Pulls to GND while the battery is charging.
USB data line from the USB socket for optional pass-through use with VBUS and GND.
