DESCRIPTION
The MAX1640/MAX1641 CMOS, adjustable-output, switch-mode current sources operate from a +5.5V to +26V input, and are ideal for microprocessor-controlled battery chargers. Charging current, maximum output voltage, and pulse-trickle charge are programmed with external resistors. Programming the off-time modifies the switching frequency, suppressing undesirable harmonics in noise-sensitive circuits. An internal low-dropout linear regulator provides power for the internal reference and circuitry as well as the gate drive for the N-channel synchronous rectifier. The MAX1640/MAX1641 are available in space-saving, 16-pin narrow QSOP packages. MAX1640/MAX1641 ______________Ordering Information PART MAX1640C/D MAX1640EEE MAX1641C/D MAX1641EEE TEMP.
