The MAX1909 highly integrated control IC simplifies
construction of accurate and efficient multichemistry
battery chargers. The MAX1909 uses analog inputs to
control charge current and voltage, and can be pro-
grammed by a host microcontroller (µC) or hardwired.
High efficiency is achieved through use of buck topolo-
gy with synchronous rectification.

The maximum current drawn from the AC adapter is
programmable to avoid overloading the AC adapter
when supplying the load and the battery charger simul-
taneously. The MAX1909 provides a digital output that
indicates the presence of an AC adapter, and an ana-
log output that monitors the current drawn from the AC
adapter. Based on the presence or absence of the AC
adapter, the MAX1909 automatically selects the appro-
priate source for supplying power to the system by con-
trolling two external P-channel MOSFETs. Under system
control, the MAX1909 allows the battery to undergo a
relearning or conditioning cycle in which the battery is
completely discharged through the system load and
then recharged.
