MAX8845Z Evaluation Kit
Evluates:Z/MAX845Y
General Description
Features
The MAX8845Z evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assem-
bled and tested PCB for evaluating the MAX8845Z/
MAX8845Y 28V linear Li+ battery chargers.
o CCCV, Thermally Regulated Linear Single-Cell Li+
Battery Charger
o No External MOSFET, Reverse-Blocking Diode, or
The MAX8845Z EV kit features an overvoltage-protect-
ed LDO output (SAFEOUT) for low-voltage-rated USB
or charger inputs in the system, and a battery pack
detection circuit (DETBAT) that disables the IC when
the battery pack is absent. The IC disables charging if
the input sources exceed 7.5V to protect against
unqualified or faulty AC adapters. The MAX8845Z EV kit
also features an adjustable fast-charge current set by
an external resistor (R1) and an adjustable top-off cur-
rent threshold set by an external resistor (R2).
Current-Sense Resistor
o Programmable Fast-Charge Currents (1A
max)
RMS
o Programmable Top-Off Current Threshold
o Input Overvoltage-Protected 4.7V Output
(SAFEOUT) from DC
o Proprietary Die Temperature Regulation Control
(+115°C)
o 4.25V to 28V Input-Voltage Range with Input
Other features include an active-low control input (EN)
and an active-low input power source detection output
(POK). The IC also contains a booting assistant circuit
that distinguishes input sources and battery connec-
tion, and provides an output signal (MAX8845Z = ABO,
MAX8845Y = ABO) for system booting.
Overvoltage Protection Above +7.5V
o Low-Dropout Voltage (300mV at 500mA)
o Input Power-Source Detection Output (POK),
Charge Status Output (CHG), and Charge-Enable
Input (EN)
To evaluate the MAX8845Y version, order the
MAX8845YETC+ along with the MAX8845ZEVKIT+ and
see the Evaluating the MAX8845Y section.
o Output for Autobooting (MAX8845Z = ABO,
MAX8845Y = ABO)
o Lead(Pb)-Free and RoHS Compliant
