30V Li+ Linear Battery Charger
with GSM Test Mode in 3mm x 2mm TDFN
MAX892L
General Description
Features
Rated Input (IN)
The MAX8922L linear battery charger safely charges a
single-cell lithium-ion (Li+) battery. Charging rate is
optimized to accommodate the thermal characteristics
of a given application. There is no need to reduce the
maximum charge current at the worst-case charger
power dissipation. Charging is optimized for a single
Li+ cell using a control algorithm that includes low-bat-
tery precharging, voltage and current-limited fast
charging, and top-off charging, while continuously
monitoring for input overvoltage and device die-temper-
ature conditions. The fast-charge current and top-off
current thresholds are programmable by a simple
single-pin serial interface. The charger status and valid
input power are indicated by two open-drain outputs
(CHG and POK).
o Overvoltage-Protected 30V
DC
o Input Overvoltage-Protected Safe 4.94V LDO
Output
o 2.3A GSM RF Test Mode
o No External FET, Blocking Diode, or Sense
Resistor Required
o Single-Pin Easy Programmable Fast-Charge and
GSM Test Mode (EN/SET)
o Resistor-Programmable Fast-Charge Current
(SETI)
o Resistor-Programmable Top-Off Current
Threshold (MIN)
o Prequalification Charge
The fast-charge current is defaulted to 400mA and pro-
grammable through the single-pin interface (EN/SET).
The MAX8922L also can be programmable to GSM test
mode through the single-pin interface.
o Power-OK Monitor Output (POK)
o Charging-Status Output (CHG)
o Die Temperature Regulation for Optimized
The MAX8922L is available in a tiny (3mm x 2mm x
0.8mm) 10-pin TDFN package.
