RT9161B
Simple Lithium-Ion Battery Charger
General Description
The RT9161B is a single-cell lithium-ion battery
charger. It includes an on-chip pass transistor for
high precision charging. Featuring with ultrahigh
precision (±1%), the RT9161B provides a very
effective and low cost solution for charging lithium-
ion battery.
Other features of the RT9161B are current limit and
thermal shutdown protection. The output voltage of
RT9161B is internally set and ranges from 4.10V to
4.35V, in 0.05V steps. The RT9161B comes in the
SOT-89 and SOT-223 packages.
