Note the following details of the code protection feature on Microchip devices:
•Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet.
•Microchip believes that its family of products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the market today, when used in the
intended manner and under normal conditions.
•There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of these methods, to our
knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the operating specifications contained in Microchip’s Data

The MCP73113 product family is highly integrated linear charge management
controllers for single-cell Li-Ion and Li-Polymer batteries. The MCP73113 product
family operates with minimum external components, which is ideal for use in
space-limited and cost-effective applications. The input over voltage protection and
battery short circuit protection offer designers a secondary protection in addition to the
Li-Ion battery protection circuit.
This chapter provides an overview of the MCP73113 OVP Single-Cell Li-Ion Battery
Charger Evaluation Board and covers the following topics:
• “What is the MCP73113 OVP Single-Cell Li-Ion Battery Charger Evaluation
Board?”
1.2WHAT IS THE MCP73113 OVP SINGLE-CELL LI-ION BATTERY CHARGER
EVALUATION BOARD?
The MCP73113 OVP Single-Cell Li-Ion Battery Charger Evaluation Board
demonstrates the features of Microchip’s MCP731 13 “Single-Cell Li-Ion / Li-Polymer Battery Charge Management Controller with Input Overvoltage Protection”.
The MCP73113 OVP Single-Cell Li-Ion Battery Charge r Evaluation Board is desig ned
with two charging current. The default value is 500 mA and when PROG via is tied to
ground, the two parallel resistors output 1000 mA charging current to a Li-Ion battery.
One blue LED status output allows the user to learn if the MCP73113 is in charging
state or not.
Note:Please refer to Table 2-1 for Charge Status Outputs and Table 2-2 for
Charge Current Setups.
The MCP73113 OVP Single-Cell Li-Ion Battery Charger Evalu ation Board comes with
an installed MCP731 13 device in 3mm x 3mm DFN package. The facto ry preset battery
regulation voltage is 4.20V with precondition, termination and auto recharge features.
The MCP73113 OVP Single-Cell Li-Ion Battery Charge r Evaluation Board is designed
to observe the performance and features on the circuit s via multiple test points. Circuits
can also be implemented into suitable applications without additional work.
The MCP73113 is a highly integrated Li-Ion battery charge management controller for
use in space-limited and cost-sensitive applications. The MCP73113 provides specific
charge algorithms for Li-Ion / Li-Polymer batteries to achieve optimal capacity and
safety in the shortest charging time possible. Along with its small physical size, the low
number of external components makes the MCP73113 ideally suitable for portable
applications.
The absolute maximum voltage, up to 18V, allows the use of MCP73113 in harsh
environments, such as low cost wall wart.
The MCP73113 employs a constant current / constant voltage charge algorithm. The
various charging voltage regulations provide design engineers flexibility to use in
different applications. The fast charge, constant current value is set with one external
resistor from 130 mA to 1100 mA. The MCP73113 limits the charge current based on
die temperature during high power or high ambient co nditions. This thermal regulation
optimizes the charge cycle time while maintaining device reliability.
The PROG pin of the MCP73113 also serves as enable pin. When high impedance is
applied, the MCP73113 will be in standby mode.
Typica l applications fo r the r eference desig n are Smart Phon es, PDA, Portab le Media
Players, MP3 Players, Digital Cameras, Handheld Medical devices, Bluetooth
headsets and Portable Communicators.
