Overview

  • Small (4mm x 4mm) Package
  • 4.25V to 12V Input Range (MAX1926)
  • Overvoltage Lockout at 6.1V (MAX1925)
  • ±0.75% Battery Regulation Voltage
  • Set Charge Current with One Resistor
  • Automatic Input Power Sense
  • LED (or Logic-Out) Charge Status and Fault Indicator
  • Programmable Safety Timer
  • Autorestart at Cell = 4V
  • Thermistor Monitor Input
  • 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 (active-low 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 active-low 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 x 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.

    Product Details

    The MAX1926 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a complete, fully assembled and tested, single-cell lithium-ion (Li+) battery charger. The EV kit provides a 4.2V output from input as high as 12V, and delivers up to 1A charge current. A light-emitting diode (LED) indicates the cell's charging status.

    The EV kit can be also used to evaluate the MAX1925, which is a single-cell Li+ battery charger with a 4.5V to 6.1V input voltage charge range.

    Applications

    • Digital Still Cameras
    • PDAs
    • Self-Charging Battery Packs
