The MAX8934_ dual-input Li+/Li-Poly linear battery chargers with Smart Power Selector™ safely charge a single Li+/Li-Poly cell in accordance with JEITA recommendations. The MAX8934_ monitors the battery temperature (TBATT) while charging, and automatically adjusts the fast-charge current and charge termination voltage as the battery temperature varies. The MAX8934_ also monitors the battery temperature while the battery is discharging, and provides a warning flag (active-low OT) to the system in the event that the battery is over temperature. Two safety profiles are supported (see Figure 6 in the full data sheet for details). An ultra-low IQ, always-on LDO provides an additional 3.3V supply for system power.

The MAX8934_ operates with either separate inputs for USB and AC adapter power*, or from a single input that accepts both. All power switches for charging and switching the load between battery and external power are included on-chip. No external MOSFETs are required.

The MAX8934_ features a Smart Power Selector to make the best use of limited USB or adapter power. Input current limit and battery charge current limit are independently set. Input power not used by the system charges the battery. Charge current limit and DC current limit can be set up to 1.5A and 2A, respectively, while USB input current can be set to 100mA or 500mA for the MAX8934A/MAX8934B/MAX8934C/MAX8934E and up to 1.5A (max) for the MAX8934D. Automatic input selection switches the system load from battery to external power.

The MAX8934A provides a SYS output voltage of 5.3V, while the MAX8934B–MAX8934E provide a SYS output voltage of 4.35V.

Other features include overvoltage protection (OVP), open-drain charge status and fault outputs, power-OK monitors, charge timers, and a battery thermistor monitor. Additionally, on-chip thermal limiting reduces the battery charge-rate to prevent charger overheating. The MAX8934_ is available in a 28-pin, 4mm x 4mm, TQFN package.

Product Detail

The MAX8934A evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled and tested circuit for evaluating the MAX8934A dual-input linear charger and Smart Power Selector with advanced temperature monitoring.

The EV kit charges a single-cell lithium-ion (Li+) battery from either a DC input (AC adapter) or a USB 100mA/500mA source, and provides system power from the DC input, USB input, or battery. The DC input has a resistor-adjustable current limit up to 2A, while the USB input-current limit is logic programmable to 100mA/500mA. USB suspend mode is also supported. The charge current limit is adjustable from 300mA to 1.5A. The system load has priority over the charger, so charge current is reduced as necessary to prevent input overload. Charge current is also thermally regulated. Advanced battery temperature monitoring adjusts charge current and termination voltage automatically.

The EV kit comes standard with the MAX8934A installed, but can also be used to evaluate the MAX8934B, MAX8934C, MAX8934D, and MAX8934E by replacing the MAX8934A (U1) with the MAX8934_. Request a free sample of the MAX8934_ when ordering the EV kit.
