Advanced Chemistry-Independent, Level 2
Battery Chargers with Input Current Limiting
General Description
The MAX1645 are high-efficiency battery chargers capa-
ble of charging batteries of any chemistry type. It uses the
Intel System Management Bus (SMBus铮? to control volt-
age and current charge outputs.
When charging lithium-ion (Li+) batteries, the MAX1645
automatically transition from regulating current to regu-
lating voltage. The MAX1645 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 鈥渞unaway charging鈥?should the MAX1645 stop
receiving charging voltage/ current commands.
The MAX1645 employs a next-generation synchronous
buck control circuity that lowers the minimum input-to-
output voltage drop by allowing the duty cycle to
exceed 99%. The MAX1645 can easily charge one to
four series Li+ cells.
