Product Details
The MAX1645B is a high-efficiency battery charger capable of charging batteries of any chemistry type. It uses the Intel System Management Bus (SMBus) to control voltage and current-charge outputs.
When charging lithium-ion (Li+) batteries, the MAX1645B automatically transitions from regulating current to regulating voltage. The MAX1645B can also limit line input current so as not to exceed a predetermined current drawn from the DC source. A 175s charge safety timer prevents "runaway charging" should the MAX1645B stop receiving charging voltage/current commands.
The MAX1645B employs a next-generation synchronous buck control circuitry that lowers the minimum input-to-output voltage drop by allowing the duty cycle to exceed 99%. The MAX1645B can easily charge one to four series Li+ cells.
Applications
- Notebook Computers
- Personal Digital Assistants
- Point-of-Sale Terminals
