General Description
The MAX1879 single-cell lithium-ion (Li+) battery charger utilizes an efficient pulse-charging architecture to minimize power dissipation in portable devices.
This architecture combines the efficiency of switch-mode chargers with the simplicity and low cost of linear chargers.
Key Features
- include continuous voltage and temperature monitoring, a preset charger time-out, and an 8mA precharge current mode to charge near-dead cells. Automatic detection of input power removal shuts down the device, minimizing current drain from the battery. An overall system accuracy of 0.75% ensures that the cell capacity is fully utilized without cycle life degradation. The MAX1879 is offered in a space-saving 8-pin µMAX package. An evaluation kit (MAX1879EVKIT) is available to help reduce design ti.
