General Description
The MAX8845Z/MAX8845Y/MAX8845X/MAX8845W are
intelligent, stand-alone constant-current, constant-volt-
age (CCCV), thermally regulated linear chargers
designed for charging a single-cell lithium-ion (Li+) bat-
tery. The MAX8845Z/MAX8845Y/MAX8845X/MAX8845W
integrate a current-sense circuit, MOSFET pass element,
thermal-regulation circuitry, and eliminate the external
reverse-blocking Schottky diode to create the simplest
and smallest charging solutions for handheld equipment.
The ICs control the charging sequence from the pre-
qualification state through constant current fast-charge,
top-off charge, and full-charge indication. Proprietary
thermal-regulation circuitry limits the die temperature
during fast-charging or when the ICs are exposed to
high ambient temperatures, allowing maximum charg-
ing current without damaging the ICs.
The MAX8845Z/MAX8845Y/MAX8845X/MAX8845W
achieve high flexibility by providing adjustable fast-
charge currents (SETI) and an adjustable top-off cur-
rent threshold (MIN) through external resistors. The
MAX8845Z/MAX8845Y/MAX8845X/MAX8845W feature
a booting assistant circuit that distinguishes input
sources and battery connection and provides an
enable signal (ABO—MAX8845Z and ABO—
MAX8845Y/MAX8845X/MAX8845W) for system booting.
The MAX8845Z/MAX8845Y/MAX8845X/MAX8845W also
integrate an overvoltage-protected output (SAFEOUT) for
low voltage-rated USB or charger inputs in system, and a
battery-pack detection circuit (DETBAT) that disables the
charger when the battery pack is absent. Other features
include an active-low control input (EN), an active-low
input power source detection output (POK), and a fully
charged top-off threshold detection output (CHG).
The MAX8845Z/MAX8845Y/MAX8845X/MAX8845W
accept an input supply range from 4.25V (4.4V for
MAX8845W only) to 28V, but disable charging if the
supply voltage exceeds +7.5V (+8.0V for MAX8845X
only) to protect against unqualified or faulty AC
adapters. The ICs operate over the extended tempera-
ture range (-40°C to +85°C) and are available in a com-
pact 12-pin, thermally enhanced thin QFN, 3mm x 3mm
package (0.8mm max height).
