Datasheet
DC Input Sources
The MAX8808X/MAX8808Y/MAX8808Z operate from
well-regulated DC sources. The full charging input volt-
age range is 4.25V to 7V. The device can withstand up
to 15V on the input without damage to the IC. If V
IN
is
greater than 7V, the internal overvoltage-protection cir-
cuitry disables charging until the input falls below 7V.
An appropriate power supply must provide at least
4.25V at the desired peak charging current. It also must
stay below 6.5V when unloaded.
Application Circuits
Stand-Alone Li+ Charger
The MAX8808X/MAX8808Y/MAX8808Z provide a com-
plete Li+ charging solution. Figure 3 shows a stand-
alone Li+ battery charger. The 2.8kΩ resistor
connected to ISET sets a charging current of 465mA.
The LED connected to the CHG output indicates when
either fast-charge or precharge qualification has
begun. When the battery is full, CHG turns high imped-
ance and the LED turns off.
Microprocessor-Interfaced Charger
Figure 4 shows the MAX8808X as a µP co-operated Li+
battery charger. The MAX8808X begins charging the bat-
tery when EN is low. The µP can drive EN high to disable
the charger. The MAX8808X generates a ACOK signal to
indicate the presence of an input supply. CHG is used to
detect the charge status of the battery. By monitoring
V
ISET
, the system can measure the charging current.
