The charge current time is adjustable by setting the charge current limit from 0.4 to 1.2 A maximum.

Key Features

  • Low quiescent current draw (0.1 μA in shutdown mode).
  • Primary-side output voltage sensing; no resistor divider required.
  • User-adjustable current limit from 0.4 to 1.2 A.
  • 1.1 V logic (VHI(min)) compatibility.
  • Integrated IGBT driver with separate sink and source (CG package) or common sink/source (EJ package).
  • Flash dual trigger with interlock for increased noise immunity.
  • Optimized for mobile phone, 1-cell Li+ battery.
