General Description
The MAX1758 is a switch-mode lithium-ion (Li+) battery
charger that charges one-to-four cells. It provides a reg-
ulated charging current accurate to ±10% and a regu-
lated voltage with only a ±0.8% total voltage error at the
battery terminals. The internal high-side switch delivers
a programmable current of up to 1.5A to charge the bat-
tery. The built-in safety timer automatically terminates
charging once the adjustable time limit has been
reached.
The MAX1758 regulates the voltage set point and
charging current using two loops that work together to
transition smoothly between voltage and current regula-
tion. An additional control loop monitors the total cur-
rent drawn from the input source (charging + system),
and automatically reduces battery-charging current,
preventing overload of the input supply and allowing
the use of a low-cost wall adapter.
The per-cell battery regulation voltage is set between
4.0V and 4.4V using standard 1% resistors. The num-
ber of cells is set from 1-to-4 by pin strapping. Battery
temperature is monitored by an external thermistor to
prevent charging outside the acceptable temperature
range.
The MAX1758 is available in a space-saving 28-pin
SSOP package. Use the MAX1758EVKIT to help reduce
design time. For a stand-alone charger with a 14V
switch, refer to the MAX1757 data sheet. For a charger
controller capable of up to 4A charging current, refer to
the MAX1737 data sheet.
