MAX1501 Datasheet (Maxim Integrated Products) - Highly Integrated Linear Battery Charger

MAX1501, Highly Integrated Linear Battery Charger

The MAX1501 intelligent, constant-current, constantvoltage (CCCV), temperature-regulated battery charger charges a single lithium-ion (Li+) cell or three-cell NiMH/NiCd batteries.

The device integrates the currentsense resistor, PMOS pass element, and thermalregulation circuitry, while eliminating t

MAX1501 Features

* include input power detection (ACOK) and input under-/ overvoltage protection. The MAX1501 provides activelow control inputs. The MAX1501 accepts a 4.5V to 13V supply, but disables charging when the input voltage exceeds 6.5V, preventing excessive power dissipation. The MAX1501 operates over the ext
