MAX8814
28V Linear Li+ Battery Charger
with Smart Autoboot Assistant
EVALUATION KIT AVAILABLE
General Description
The MAX8814 intelligent, stand-alone constant-current,
constant-voltage (CCCV), thermally regulated linear
charger is designed for charging a single-cell lithium-ion
(Li+) battery.
The MAX8814 controls the charging sequence from the
prequalification state through constant-current fast-
charge and the final constant voltage charge. The IC
achieves high flexibility by providing an adjustable fast-
charge current through an external resistor. It also fea-
tures a booting assistant circuit that distinguishes input
sources and battery connection, and provides an out-
put signal (ABO) for system booting.
The device operates over the extended temperature
range (-40°C to +85°C), and is available in an 8-pin
thermally enhanced 2mm x 2mm TDFN package
(0.8mm max height).
