Product Details
The MAX8724 evaluation kit (EV kit) is an accurate and
efficient multichemistry battery charger. It uses analog
inputs to control charge voltage and current. The EV kit
can charge 2 to 4 series lithium-ion (Li+) cells with a
current up to 3A. High efficiency is achieved by a buck
topology with synchronous rectification. The EV kit provides
outputs that can be used to monitor the input current,
the battery-charging current, and the presence of
an AC adapter.
Applications
- Handheld Terminals
- Notebook and Subnotebook Computers
- Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs)
