MAX8672
The MAX8672 complete power manager for backup
batteries in smart devices offers feature-programmable
battery charging and main-system backup. The device
includes a charger for 1- or 2-cell NiMH backup batter-
ies. A low-quiescent current synchronous-rectified
boost converter and LDO supply up to 20mA during
system backup. The BST output is internally set to regu-
late at 3.05V. The MAX8672 LDO is powered from the
boost converter output and is adjustable from 1.5V to
3.05V.
The MAX8672 features programmable charge current,
undervoltage lockout (UVLO), and maximum cell volt-
age. Charging is controlled by both a timer and ther-
mistor monitor. Battery UVLO prevents excessive
battery discharge and keeps inactive-battery drain cur-
rent below 50nA. In addition, both LDO and boost con-
verter outputs block reverse current so that diodes are
not needed when connecting these outputs directly to
system supplies. The MAX8672 requires that a valid
system supply be present before system backup oper-
ation can occur.
The MAX8672 is available in a 14-pin, 3mm x 3mm TDFN
package and is 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.
