Single-Input 1-Cell Li+ Charger with OVP Protection and Programmable Charge Timer
General Description
The MAX8600A single-input linear battery charger safely charges single-cell Li+ batteries.
Charging is optimized for Li+ cells using a control algorithm that includes low-battery precharging,
voltage and currentlimited fast-charging, and top-off charging, while continuously monitoring the battery for over
voltage, over/under temperature, and charging time.
Charger timeout protection is programmable, and the status is indicated by three open-drain outputs.
The MAX8600A linear charger optimizes charging time by adjusting the charge rate to a...
