MyMaxim SubscriptionsProduct Details
Several features make the MAX8900_ perfect for high-reliability systems. The MAX8900_ is protected against input voltages as high as +22V and as low as -22V. Battery protection features include low voltage prequalification, charge fault timer, die temperature monitoring, and battery temperature monitoring. The battery temperature monitoring adjusts the charge current and termination voltage as described in the JEITA* specification for safe use of secondary lithium-ion batteries.
Charge parameters are easily adjustable with external components. An external resistance adjusts the charge current from 50mA to 1200mA. Another external resistance adjusts the prequalification and done current thresholds from 10mA to 200mA. The done current threshold is very accurate achieving ±1mA at the 10mA level. The charge timer is adjustable with an external capacitor.
The MAX8900_ is available in a 0.4mm pitch, 2.44mm x 2.67mm x 0.64mm WLP package.

Description
The MAX8900A evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled and tested circuit for evaluating the MAX8900A switch-mode Li+/Li-Poly charger with ±22V input rating and JEITA* battery temperature monitoring. The MAX8900A charges a 1-cell lithium-ion (Li+) or lithium-polymer (Li-Poly) battery. The MAX8900A delivers up to 1.2A of current to the battery from a 3.4V to 6.3V supply. External resistors and potentiometers adjust the fast-charge current and the prequalification and done current thresholds. A JEITA battery temperature monitor adjusts charge current and termination voltage.
The MAX8900A EV kit comes with the MAX8900A installed, but can also be used to evaluate the MAX8900B with IC replacement of U1. Request a free sample of the MAX8900B when you order the MAX8900A EV kit.
