Overvoltage-Protection Controller with
Internal Disconnect Switch
General Description
Features
The MAX4880 is an overvoltage-protection controller
with an internal current-limited switch that can be con-
figured as a low-cost battery charger. When the input
voltage exceeds the overvoltage trip level (5.7V), or
drops below the undervoltage-lockout level (4.2V), the
MAX4880 turns off the external n-channel MOSFET and
asserts an undervoltage/overvoltage flag indicator
(FLAGV) low to notify the processor.
♦ Overvoltage Protection Up to 28V
♦ Preset 5.6V Overvoltage Trip Level
♦ Internal 525mA Current-Limited Switch
♦ ±±.2ꢀ Accurate ꢁatterꢂ ꢃisconnect ꢄ(.2Vꢅ
♦ ꢃrives Low-Cost n-Channel MOSFET
♦ Internal 50ms Startup ꢃelaꢂ
The MAX4880 internal current-limited switch limits the
charge current flowing to the battery to 525mA. The
switch opens when the battery voltage reaches its full-
charged state (4.2V), and a flag (BAT_OK) asserts to
notify the processor. The MAX4880 includes a switch-
control input (CB) to turn off the internal current-limited
switch, regardless of the battery voltage.
♦ Overvoltage/Undervoltage-Fault FLAGV Indicator
♦ ꢁatterꢂ-Voltage-Trip BAT_OK Indicator
♦ Undervoltage Lockout
♦ Thermal Shutdown Protection
♦ Tinꢂ ±0-Pin TꢃFN Package
The MAX4880 also features a built-in startup delay that
allows the adapter voltage to settle down before turning
on the MOSFET. Other features include 15kV ESD pro-
tection for the input and a shutdown function (EN) to
turn off the external n-channel MOSFET.
Ordering Information
The MAX4880 is available in a space-saving 10-pin
