Stand-Alone, Switch-Mode
Li+ Battery Charger with Internal 14V Switch
General Description
Features
o Stand-Alone Charger for Up to 3 Li+ Batteries
The MAX1757 is a switch-mode lithium-ion (Li+) battery
charger that charges one to three cells. It provides a
regulated charging current accurate to 1ꢀ0 and a
regulated voltage with only a ꢀ.ꢁ0 total voltage error
at the battery terminals. The internal high-side switch
delivers a programmable current of up to 1.5A to
charge the battery. The built-in safety timer automatical-
ly terminates charging once the adjustable time limit
has been reached.

o Inpꢂt ꢃoltage Up to 14ꢃ
The MAX1757 regulates the voltage set point and
charging current using two loops that work together to
transition smoothly between voltage and current regula-
tion. An additional control loop monitors the total cur-
rent drawn from the input source (charging + system)
and by automatically reducing battery-charging current
prevents overload of the input supply, allowing the use
of a low-cost wall adapter.
o Up to 105A Programmable Charge Cꢂrrent
o Inpꢂt Cꢂrrent Limiting
o Spaꢄe-Saving 2.-Pin SSOP
o 3±±kHz PWM Osꢄillator ꢁedꢂꢄes Noise
The per-cell battery regulation voltage is set between
4.ꢀV and 4.4V using standard 10 resistors. The num-
ber of cells is set from 1 to 3 by pin strapping. Battery
temperature is monitored by an external thermistor to
prevent charging outside the acceptable temperature
range.
The MAX1757 is available in a space-saving 2ꢁ-pin
SSOP package. Use the MAX1757EVKIT to help reduce
design time. For a stand-alone charger with a 2ꢁV
switch, refer to the MAX175ꢁ data sheet. For a charger
controller capable of up to 4A charging current, refer to
the MAX1737 data sheet.
