Product Details
The MAX712 terminates fast charge by detecting zero voltage slope, while the MAX713 uses a negative voltage-slope detection scheme. Both parts come in 16-pin DIP and SO packages. An external power PNP transistor, blocking diode, three resistors, and three capacitors are the only required external components.
The evaluation kit is available: Order the MAX712EVKIT-DIP for quick evaluations of the linear charger.
Key Features

Description
The MAX713SWEVKIT-SO is a fully assembled and tested surface-mount board. The MAX713 high-current, switch-mode battery charger controls a P-channel power MOSFET, allowing charge currents up to 1A. Switch-mode operation typically provides 75%-efficient conversion, reducing heat compared to linear-regulator solutions.
The MAX713SWEVKIT can also be used to evaluate the MAX712 just by replacing the MAX713CSE with a MAX712CSE.
Features
- Up to 1A Charge Current
- 45V Peak Input Voltage Range
- Switch-Mode Operation Reduces Heat Dissipation
- Surface-Mount Components
- Charges 1 to 16 Series Cells
