Complete Linear Charger: Requires minimal external components, eliminating the need for external MOSFETs, sense resistors, or blocking diodes.
Constant Current/Constant Voltage Operation: Ensures efficient and safe charging of lithium-ion batteries.
Thermal Regulation: Automatically adjusts the charging current to prevent overheating during high power operation or elevated ambient temperatures.
Automatic Recharge: Initiates a new charging cycle if the battery voltage drops below a specified threshold, ensuring the battery remains fully charged.
Charge Status Indicators: Provides open-drain outputs for charging and charge completion status, facilitating easy monitoring.
Soft-Start Function: Limits inrush current during the start of the charging process to prevent potential damage.
Battery Reverse Polarity Protection: Protects the IC and battery in case of incorrect battery insertion.
Applications:
Portable devices such as smartphones, tablets, and MP3 players
