SMBus Level 2 Battery Charger with Remote Sense
General Description
The MAX8731A is an SMBus™ programmable multichemistry battery charger.
The MAX8731A uses a minimal command set to easily program the charge
voltage, charge current, and adapter current limit.
The MAX8731A charges one to four Li+ series cells and delivers up to 8A charge current.
The MAX8731A drives n-channel
MOSFETs for improved efficiency and reduced cost.
Low-offset current-sense
amplifiers provide high accuracy with 10mΩ sense resistors.
The MAX8731A current-sense
amplifiers provide high accuracy (3% at 3.
5A) and also provide fast cycle-bycycle current-mode control to ...
