The MAX8971 is a compact, high-frequency, high-
efficiency switch-mode charger for a one-cell lithium-ion
(Li+) battery. It delivers up to 1.55A of current to the
battery from inputs up to 7.5V and withstands transient
inputs up to 22V. The 4MHz switch-mode charger is
ideally suited for small portable devices, such as head-
sets and ultra-portable media players. It minimizes
component size and heat.
Battery-protection features include: low-voltage prequali-
fication, charge fault timer, die temperature monitoring,
and battery temperature monitoring. The battery
temperature monitoring adjusts the charge current and
termination voltage for safe use of secondary lithium-ion
batteries.
The IC accepts either a general DC input or USB.
It has programmable automatic input-current limiting to pro-
tect upstream charging sources such as USB.
Charge parameters are easily adjustable through an I
2
C
interface. Charge is terminated based on user-selectable
minimum current level. A safety timer with reset control
provides a safety backup for I
2
C interface. Charge status
is provided to the application processor through an inter-
rupt pin.
The IC is available in a space-saving, 20-bump, 2.18mm
x 1.62mm WLP package.

*This device is constructed using a unique set of packaging techniques that impose a limit on the thermal profile the device can be
exposed to during board-level solder attach and rework. This limit permits only the use of the solder profiles recommended in the
industry-standard specification, JEDEC 020A, paragraph 7.6, Table 3 for IR / VPR and Convection reflow. Preheating is required.
Hand or wave soldering is not allowed.

Note 1:
Package thermal resistances were obtained using the method described in JEDEC specification JESD51-7, using a four-
layer board. For detailed information on package thermal considerations, refer to
www.maxim-ic.com/thermal-tutorial.
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional opera-
tion 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.
