MAX1874
19-2912; Rev 1; 2/07
EVAALVUAAILTAIOBNLEKIT
Dual-Input, USB/AC Adapter, 1-Cell
Li+ Charger with OVP and Thermal Regulation
General Description
The MAX1874 charges a single-cell Li+ battery from both USB and AC adapter sources. It also includes battery-to-input power switchover, so the system can be powered directly from the power source rather than from the battery.
In its simplest application, the MAX1874 needs no external MOSFET or diodes, and accepts input voltages up to 6.5V; however, DC input overvoltage protection up to 18V can be added with a single SOT PFET.
On-chip thermal limiting simplifies printed circuit board (PCB) layout and allows optimum charging rate without the thermal limits imposed by worst-case battery and input voltage.
