The MAX712/MAX713 fast-charge Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) and Nickel Cadmium (NiCd) batteries from a DC source at least 1.5V higher than the maximum battery voltage. 1 to 16 series cells can be charged at rates up to 4C. A voltage-slope detecting analog-to-digital converter, timer, and temperature window comparator determine charge completion. The MAX712/MAX713 are powered by the DC source via an on-board +5V shunt regulator. They draw a maximum of 5µA from the battery when not charging. A low-side current-sense resistor allows the battery charge current to be regulated while still supplying power to the battery's load.

The MAX712 terminates fast charge by detecting zero voltage slope, while the MAX713 uses a negative voltage-slope detection scheme. Both parts come in 16-pin DIP and SO packages. An external power PNP transistor, blocking diode, three resistors, and three capacitors are the only required external components.

The evaluation kit is available: Order the MAX712EVKIT-DIP for quick evaluations of the linear charger.

Features and Benefits

  • Up to 1A Charge Current
  • 45V Peak Input Voltage Range
  • Switch-Mode Operation Reduces Heat Dissipation
  • Surface-Mount Components
  • Charges 1 to 16 Series Cells

Product Detail

The MAX713SWEVKIT-SO is a fully assembled and tested surface-mount board. The MAX713 high-current, switch-mode battery charger controls a P-channel power MOSFET, allowing charge currents up to 1A. Switch-mode operation typically provides 75%-efficient conversion, reducing heat compared to linear-regulator solutions.

The MAX713SWEVKIT can also be used to evaluate the MAX712 just by replacing the MAX713CSE with a MAX712CSE.
