MCP73871EV Datasheet PDF - Microchip

●The MCP73871EV is designed to demonstrate stand alone linear Li ion battery charger with system power path and load sharing management control solution. The highly integrated MCP73871 device has overcome the hurdles by including the required elements to meet the design challenges when developing new Li ion / Li Polymer battery powered products. The MCP73871 requires minimum external components to power the system load and charge single cell Li ion batteries independently. When input power is absent or insufficient, the Li ion battery becomes the primary power source or in help mode to support the required system load current. The board is developed to assist product designers in reducing product design cycle and time by utilizing favourite stand alone Li ion battery charger and system load sharing management controller.

● Integrated system load sharing

● Three LED indicators for charge status, low battery and power good signal

● Input current limit control with dip switches between ac to dc adapter USB high, and USB low

● Automatic charge termination

● Automatic recharge

● Internal thermal regulation

● Temperature monitoring is disabled by default, but can be enabled to use with NTC thermistor

● Exposed Pad with extra via underneath for better heat dissipations

●Charge termination and automatic recharge features avoid constant charging Li ion batteries to prolong life of Li ion batteries while keeping their capacity at healthy level.
