General Description
The MAX1908/MAX8724/MAX8765/MAX8765A highly
integrated, multichemistry battery-charger control ICs
simplify the construction of accurate and efficient chargers. These devices use analog inputs to control charge
current and voltage, and can be programmed by the host
or hardwired. The MAX1908/MAX8724/MAX8765/
MAX8765A achieve high efficiency using a buck topology
with synchronous rectification.
The MAX1908/MAX8724/MAX8765/MAX8765A feature
input current limiting. This feature reduces battery
charge current when the input current limit is reached
to avoid overloading the AC adapter when supplying
the load and the battery charger simultaneously. The
MAX1908/MAX8724/MAX8765/MAX8765A provide outputs to monitor current drawn from the AC adapter (DC
input source), battery-charging current, and the presence of an AC adapter. The MAX1908’s conditioning
charge feature provides 300mA to safely charge deeply
discharged lithium-ion (Li+) battery packs.
The MAX1908 includes a conditioning charge feature
while the MAX8724/MAX8765/MAX8765A do not.
The MAX1908/MAX8724/MAX8765/MAX8765A charge two
to four series Li+ cells, providing more than 5A, and are
available in a space-saving, 28-pin, thin QFN package (5mm
× 5mm). An evaluation kit is available to speed designs.
