MAX14690
Wearable Charge-Management Solution
General Description
Benefits and Features
● Extend System Use Time Between Battery Charging
The MAX14690 is a battery-charge-management solution
ideal for low-power wearable applications. The device
includes a linear battery charger with a smart power
selector and several power-optimized peripherals. The
MAX14690 features two ultra-low-power buck regulators
with a typical quiescent current of 900nA. In addition,
three ultra-low power low-dropout (LDO) linear regulators,
with a typical quiescent current of 600nA are included.
In total, the MAX14690 can provide up to five regulated
voltages, each with an ultra-low quiescent current,
critical to battery life for the unique power profile in 24/7
operation devices, such as those in the wearable market.
• Dual Ultra-Low-I 200mA Buck Regulators
Q
- Output Programmable from 0.8V to 1.8V and
1.5V to 3.3V
- 0.9μA (typ) Quiescent Current
- Automatic Burst or Forced-PWM Modes
• Three Ultra-Low-I 100mA LDOs
Q
- Output Programmable from 0.8V to 3.6V
- 0.6μA (typ) Quiescent Current
- 2.7V to 5.5V Input with Dedicated Pin
● Easy-to-Implement Li+ Battery Charging
• Smart Power Selector
The battery charger features a smart power selector that
allows operation on a dead battery when connected to a
power source. To avoid overloading a power adapter, the
input current to the smart power selector is limited based
• 28V/-5.5V Tolerant Input
• Thermistor Monitor
● Minimize Solution Footprint Through High Integration
• Provides Five Regulated Voltage Rails
• Switch Mode Option on Each LDO

on an I C register setting. If the charger power source
is unable to supply the entire system load, the smart
power control circuit supplements the system load with
current from the battery.
● Optimize System Control
• Monitors Pushbutton for Ultra-Low Power Mode
• Power-On Reset Delay and Voltage Sequencing
• On-Chip Voltage Monitor Multiplexer
The two synchronous, high-efficiency step-down buck
regulators feature a fixed-frequency PWM mode for
tighter regulation and a burst mode for increased
efficiency during light-load operation. The output voltage

of these regulators can be programmed through I C with
the default preconfigured.
The three configurable LDOs each have a dedicated
input pin. Each LDO regulator output voltage can be
programmed through I C with the default preconfigured.

The linear regulators can also be configured to operate
as power switches that may be used to disconnect the
quiescent load of the system peripherals.

The MAX14690 features a programmable power controller
that allows the device to be configured for applications
that require the device be in a true-off, or always-on,
state. The controller also provides a delayed reset signal
and voltage sequencing.
