Datasheet

General Description
The MAX1925/MAX1926 single-cell lithium-ion (Li+)
switch-mode battery chargers use an external PMOS
pass element step-down configuration. Charge current
is programmable, and an external capacitor sets the
maximum charge time.
Additional features include automatic input power
detection (ACON output), logic-controlled enable, and
temperature monitoring with an external thermistor. The
MAX1925 disables charging for inputs greater than
6.1V, while the MAX1926 charges for inputs between
4.25V and 12V.
The MAX1925/MAX1926 feature two precondition levels
to restore near-dead cells. The devices source 4mA to
a cell that is below 2V while sourcing C/10 to a cell
between 2V and 3V. Full charge current is then applied
above 3V. A CHG output drives an LED to indicate
charging (LED on) and fault conditions (LED blinking).
The MAX1925/MAX1926 are available in a 12-pin
4mm 4mm thin QFN package and are specified over
the extended temperature range (-40°C to +85°C). An
evaluation kit is available to speed design.
