MAX1758
Stand-Alone, Switch-Mode
Li+ Battery Charger with Internal 28V Switch
General Description
Features
The MAX1758 is a switch-mode lithium-ion (Li+) battery
charger that charges one-to-four cells. It provides a reg-
ulated charging current accurate to 10ꢀ and a regu-
lated voltage with only a 0.8ꢀ total voltage error at the
battery terminals. The internal high-side switch delivers
a programmable current of up to 1.5A to charge the bat-
tery. The built-in safety timer automatically terminates
charging once the adjustable time limit has been
reached.
o Stand-Alone Charger for Up to 4 Li+ Batteries
o ±±.8ꢀ Battery ꢁegꢂlation ꢃoltage Accꢂracy
o Low-Dropoꢂt 98ꢀ Dꢂty Cycle
o Safely Precharges Near-Dead Cells
o Continꢂoꢂs ꢃoltage and Temperatꢂre Monitoring
o ±.1µA Shꢂtdown Battery Cꢂrrent
o Inpꢂt ꢃoltage Up to 28ꢃ
The MAX1758 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 automatically reduces battery-charging current,
preventing overload of the input supply and allowing
the use of a low-cost wall adapter.
o Up to 1.5A Programmable Charge Cꢂrrent
o Safety Timer Prevents Overcharging
o Inpꢂt Cꢂrrent Limiting
o Space-Saving 28-Pin SSOP
o 3±±kHz PWM Oscillator ꢁedꢂces Noise
The per-cell battery regulation voltage is set between
4.0V and 4.4V using standard 1ꢀ resistors. The num-
ber of cells is set from 1-to-4 by pin strapping. Battery
temperature is monitored by an external thermistor to
prevent charging outside the acceptable temperature
range.

The MAX1758 is available in a space-saving 28-pin
SSOP package. Use the MAX1758EVKIT to help reduce
design time. For a stand-alone charger with a 14V
switch, refer to the MAX1757 data sheet. For a charger
controller capable of up to 4A charging current, refer to
the MAX1737 data sheet.
