Advanced Chemistry-Independent, Level 2
Battery Chargers with Input Current Limiting
General Description
Features
The MAX1645 are high-efficiency battery chargers capa-
ble of charging batteries of any chemistry type. It uses the
Intel System Management Bus (SMBus) to control volt-
age and current charge outputs.
ꢀ Input Current Limiting
ꢀ 175s Charge Safety Timeout
ꢀ 128mA Wake-Up Charge
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 “runaway charging” should the MAX1645 stop
receiving charging voltage/ current commands.
ꢀ Charges Any Chemistry Battery: Li+, NiCd,
NiMH, Lead Acid, etc.
ꢀ Intel SMBus 2-Wire Serial Interface
ꢀ Compliant with Level 2 Smart Battery Charger
Spec Rev. 1.0
ꢀ +8V to +28V Input Voltage Range
ꢀ Up to 18.4V Battery Voltage
ꢀ 11-Bit Battery Voltage Setting
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.
