USB-Powered Li+ Charger
General Description
The MAX1811 is a single-cell lithium-ion (Li+) battery
charger that can be powered directly from a USB port*
or from an external supply up to 6.5V. It has a 0.5%
overall battery regulation voltage accuracy to allow
maximum utilization of the battery capacity.
The charger uses an internal FET to deliver up to
500mA charging current to the battery. The device can
be configured for either a 4.1V or 4.2V battery, using
the SELV input. The SELI input sets the charge current
to either 100mA or 500mA. An open-drain output (CHG)
indicates charge status.
The MAX1811 has preconditioning that soft-starts a
near-dead battery cell before charging. Other safety
features include continuous monitoring of voltage and
current and initial checking for fault conditions before
charging.
The MAX1811 is available in a small 1.4W thermally
enhanced 8-pin SO package.
