Lithium-Ion Battery Pack Protector
General Description
The MAX1665 provides protection against overvoltage,
undervoltage, overcharge current, and overdischarge
current for 2-cell to 4-cell lithium-ion (Li+) battery packs.
Very low operating current ensures that cells are not
overdischarged during long storage periods.
The MAX1665 controls two external N-channel MOSFETs
to limit the charge and discharge voltages. Charging is
allowed when the per-cell voltage is below +4.3V. When
the voltage on any cell rises above +4.3V (overvoltage
limit), the MAX1665 turns off the charge MOSFET. This
safety feature prevents overcharge of any cell within the
battery pack.
Discharge is allowed when the per-cell voltage is above
+2.5V (undervoltage limit). If the voltage across any cell
falls below +2.5V, the MAX1665 turns off the discharge
MOSFET. This safety feature prevents overdischarge of
any cell within the battery pack.
Charging and discharging are allowed if the voltage
between PKN and BN is less than 250mV. This safety fea-
ture prevents excessive pack current.

Applies to the differential voltage measured on any cell.
DSG is internally clamped to a maximum of 20V to protect the external MOSFET (V
GS
).
Guaranteed by design.
The input bias matching between cells is measured with a 4V voltage between cells.
At least one cell is <V
UV
.
Specifications to -40°C are guaranteed by design, not production tested.
