Tiny 3mm x 3mm Thin QFN Package
MAX8568A/MAX8568B
The MAX8568A/MAX8568B backup-battery-management
ICs are complete charging and backup switchover con-
trol solutions for PDAs, Smart Phones, and other smart
portable devices. They charge both NiMH and
rechargeable lithium battery types and feature pro-
grammable charge current and termination voltage.
Separate optimized charge algorithms for both lithium
and NiMH cells are included on-chip.
The MAX8568A/MAX8568B also manage backup
switchover from a primary power source. An accurate on-
chip voltage detector monitors the main supply and
backs up two system supplies (typically I/O and memory)
when main power falls. On-chip drivers switch external
MOSFETs to disconnect the main supply from the system
loads so the backup source is not drained.
Low-voltage backup cells can be stepped up by an on-
chip synchronous-rectified, low-quiescent-current boost
converter. Additionally, a low-quiescent-current LDO gen-
erates a second backup voltage. The MAX8568A LDO is
preset to 2.5V while the MAX8568B LDO is preset to 1.8V.
Both devices are supplied in 16-pin 3mm x 3mm thin
QFN packages rated for -40°C to +85°C operation.

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.
