MAX1925/MAX1926
The MAX1925/MAX1926 single-cell lithium-ion (Li+)
switch-mode battery chargers use an external PMOS
pass element step-down configuration. Charge current
is programmable, and an external capacitor sets the
maximum charge time.
Additional features include automatic input power
detection (ACON output), logic-controlled enable, and
temperature monitoring with an external thermistor. The
MAX1925 disables charging for inputs greater than
6.1V, while the MAX1926 charges for inputs between
4.25V and 12V.
The MAX1925/MAX1926 feature two precondition levels
to restore near-dead cells. The devices source 4mA to
a cell that is below 2V while sourcing C/10 to a cell
between 2V and 3V. Full charge current is then applied
above 3V. A
CHG
output drives an LED to indicate
charging (LED on) and fault conditions (LED blinking).
The MAX1925/MAX1926 are available in a 12-pin
4mm
✕
4mm thin QFN package and are specified over
the extended temperature range (-40°C to +85°C). An
evaluation kit is available to speed design.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

Note 1:
When the AC adapter is unplugged or if the charger is shut down, BATT drain is less than 10µA.
Note 2:
These specifications guarantee the thermistor interface detects a fault at the correct temperature (0°C to +5°C cold temper-
ature and 45°C to +50°C hot temperature) with Philips NTC Thermistor Series 640-6, 2322-640-63103, 10.0K at +25°C, ±5%
(or equivalent).
Note 3:
A fault is generated if V
THRM
lower than 1.4V during the cold test or higher than 1.4V during the hot test. Hot and cold tests
occur on alternate CT clock transitions.
Note 4:
Specifications to -40°C are guaranteed by design and not production tested.
