General Description
The MAX8677C is an integrated 1-cell Li+ charger and
Smart Power Selector™ with dual (DC and USB) power
inputs. It can operate with either separate inputs for
USB and AC adapter power*, or from a single input that
accepts both. All power switches for charging and
switching the load between battery and external power
are included on-chip. No external MOSFETs are
required.
The MAX8677C features a Smart Power Selector to
make the best use of limited USB or adapter power.
The battery charge current and input current limit are
independently set up to 1.5A and 2A, respectively.
Input power not used by the system charges the bat-
tery. 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 (OVP),
charge status and fault outputs, power-OK monitors,
charge timer, and battery thermistor monitor.
Additionally, on-chip thermal limiting reduces the battery
charge rate to prevent overheating. The MAX8677C is
available in a 4mm x 4mm, 24-pin TQFN-EP package.
