General Description
The MAX1538 selector provides power-source control
for dual-battery systems. The device selects between
an AC adapter and dual batteries based on the pres-
ence of the three power sources and the state of
charge of each battery. The MAX1538 includes analog
comparators to detect AC/airline-adapter presence and
determine battery undervoltage. Fast analog circuitry
allows the device to switch between power sources to
implement a break-before-make time, which allows hot
swapping of battery packs. The MAX1538 indepen-
dently performs power-source monitoring and selec-
tion, freeing the system power-management µP for
other tasks. This simplifies the development of µP
power-management firmware and allows the µP to enter
standby, reducing system power consumption.
The MAX1538 supports “relearn mode,” which allows
the system to measure and fully utilize battery capacity.
In this state, the part allows the selected battery to be
discharged even when an AC adapter is present. The
MAX1538 can also be used to power the system in an
aircraft. On detecting an airline adapter, the MAX1538
automatically disables charging or discharging of bat-
tery packs and only allows the system to be powered
from the adapter.
The MAX1538 is available in a space-saving 28-pin thin
QFN package with a maximum footprint of 5mm x 5mm.
