1.2A Switch-Mode Li+ Chargers with 22V Input
Rating and JEITA Battery Temperature Monitoring
General Description
Features
S 3.25MHz Switching Li+/Li-Poly Battery Charger
The MAX8900_ is a high-frequency, switch-mode char-
ger for a 1-cell lithium ion (Li+) or lithium polymer
(Li-Poly) battery. It delivers up to 1.2A of current to the
battery from 3.4V to 6.3V (MAX8900A) or 3.4V to 8.7V
(MAX8900B). The 3.25MHz switch-mode charger is ide-
ally suited to small portable devices such as headsets
and ultra-portable media players because it minimizes
component size and heat.

Charge Current and Termination Voltage
S 4.2V ±±.5ꢀ Battery Regulation Voltage (Alternate
4.1V Target Available on Request)
S Adjustable Done Current Threshold
Adjustable from 1±mA to 2±±mA
±1mA Accuracy at 1±mA
Several features make the MAX8900_ perfect for high-
reliability systems. The MAX8900_ is protected against
input voltages as high as +22V and as low as -22V.
Battery protection features include low voltage prequali-
fication, charge fault timer, die temperature monitoring,
and battery temperature monitoring. The battery temper-
ature monitoring adjusts the charge current and termina-
tion voltage as described in the JEITA* specification for
safe use of secondary lithium-ion batteries.
S High-Efficiency and Low Heat
S Uses a 2.±mm x 1.6mm Inductor
S Positive and Negative Input Voltage Protection
(±22V)
S Up to +2±V Operating Range (Alternate OVLO
Ranges Available on Request)
S Supports No-Battery Operation
S Fault Timer
Charge parameters are easily adjustable with external
components. An external resistance adjusts the charge
current from 50mA to 1200mA. Another external resis-
tance adjusts the prequalification and done current
thresholds from 10mA to 200mA. The done current thresh-
old is very accurate achieving Q1mA at the 10mA level.
The charge timer is adjustable with an external capacitor.
