BL8573
500mA/1.5A Standalone Linear Li-Ion Battery Charge
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The BL8573 is a single cell, fully integrated constant current (CC)/constant voltage (CV) Li-ion battery charger. Its compact package with minimum external components requirement makes the BL8573 ideal for portable applications.
No external sense resistor or blocking diode is necessary for the BL8573. Build-in thermal feedback mechanism regulates the charge current to control the die temperature during high power operation or at elevated ambient temperature.
The BL8573 has a pre-charge function for trickle charging deeply discharged batteries. The fast charge current can be programmed by an external resistor.
