28V Linear Li+ Battery Chargers with Battery Detection and Overvoltage Protected Output
General Description
The MAX8845Z/MAX8845Y/MAX8845X/MAX8845W are intelligent, stand-alone constant-current, constant-voltage (CCCV), thermally regulated linear chargers designed for charging a single-cell lithium-ion (Li+) battery. The MAX8845Z/MAX8845Y/MAX8845X/MAX8845W integrate a current-sense circuit, MOSFET pass element, thermal-regulation circuitry, and eliminate the external reverse-blocking Schottky diode to create the simplest and smallest charging solutions for handheld equipment. The ICs control the charging sequence from the prequalification state through constant current fast-charge, top-off charge, and full-charge indication.
