PMIC with Integrated Charger and
Smart Power Selector for Handheld Devices
MA8671X
General Description
Features
The MAX8671X integrated power-management IC
(PMIC) is ideal for use in portable media players and
other handheld devices. In addition to five regulated
output voltages, the MAX8671X integrates a 1-cell lithi-
um ion (Li+) or lithium polymer (Li-Poly) charger and
Smart Power Selector™ with dual (AC-to-DC adapter
and USB) power inputs. The dual-input Smart Power
Selector supports end products with dual or single
power connectors. All power switches for charging and
switching the system load between battery and external
power are included on-chip. No external MOSFETs are
required.
♦ 16V-Tolerant USB and DC Inputs
♦ Automatically Powers from External Power or
Battery
♦ Operates with No Battery Present
♦ Single-Cell Li+/Li-Poly Charger
♦ Three 2MHz Step-Down Regulators
Up to 96% Efficiency
♦ Two Low I Linear Regulators
Q
♦ Output Power-Up Sequencing
♦ Thermal-Overload Protection
Maxim’s Smart Power Selector makes the best use of
limited USB or AC-to-DC adapter power. Battery
charge current and input current limit are independent-
ly set. Input power not used by the system charges the
battery. Charge current and DC current limit are pro-
grammable up to 1A while USB input current can be set
to 100mA or 500mA. Automatic input selection switches
the system load from battery to external power. Other
features include overvoltage protection, charge status
and fault outputs, power-OK monitors, charge timer,
and battery thermistor monitor. In addition, on-chip
thermal limiting reduces battery charge rate to prevent
charger overheating.
