Single-/Dual-Input 1-Cell Li+ Chargers with OVP Protection and Programmable Charge Timer
MAX8600/MAX8601
General Description
The MAX8600/MAX8601 single-/dual-input linear battery chargers safely charge single-cell Li+ batteries. The charging rate is optimized to acmodate the thermal characteristics of a given application. There is no need to reduce the maximum charge current or worst-case charger power dissipation. 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 overvoltage,...
