Single-Input 1-Cell Li+ Charger with
OVP Protection and Programmable Charge Timer
General Description
The MAX8600A single-input linear battery charger safe-
ly charges single-cell Li+ batteries. Charging is opti-
mized for Li+ cells using a control algorithm that
includes low-battery precharging, voltage and current-
limited fast-charging, and top-off charging, while con-
tinuously monitoring the battery for overvoltage,
over/under temperature, and charging time. Charger
timeout protection is programmable, and the status is
indicated by three open-drain outputs.
The MAX8600A linear charger optimizes charging time
by adjusting the charge rate to accommodate the ther-
mal characteristics of a given application. There is no
need to reduce the maximum charge current to accom-
modate worst-case charger power dissipation.
The MAX8600A is a variation of the MAX8600 with
improved dropout and other spec changes. See
Maxim’s website for an outline of MAX8600/MAX8600A
differences.
The MAX8600A is available in a 3mm x 3mm power-
enhanced TDFN package.

Pin Description

NAME
BAT
FUNCTION
Battery Connection. The IC delivers charging current and monitors battery voltage using BAT. Bypass
BAT to GND with a 2.2µF or larger ceramic capacitor. Connect both BAT inputs together externally. BAT
is high impedance when the IC is disabled. Ensure that all BAT pins are connected together.
DC Charge-Current Programming Pin. Connect a resistor from SETI to GND to set the maximum charging
current (I
BAT
= 1500V/R
SETI
), the prequal current, and the CHG done threshold. Monitor charging current
by measuring this pin voltage. SETI is high-impedance when
EN
is high, or DC is at GND.
Thermistor Input. Connect a 10kΩ NTC thermistor, in close proximity to the battery, from THM to ground
to monitor the battery temperature. The IC suspends charging when R
THM
is outside the hot and cold
limits. Disable thermistor functionality by connecting THM to GND. THM is high impedance when
EN
is
high or DC is at GND.
Ground
Timing Capacitor Input. Connect a capacitor from CT to GND to set the precharge timeout, top-off time,
and fast-charge timeout. Connect CT to GND to disable the timers. CT is high impedance when
EN
is
high or DC is at GND.
No Connection. Make no external circuit connection.
Active-Low Enable Input. Drive low or connect
EN
to GND to enable the charger. Drive
EN
high to disable
the charger.
EN
has an internal 470kΩ pulldown resistance to GND.
Power-OK Monitor.
POK
is an open-drain output that pulls low when a valid charging source is detected.
POK
is high impedance when DC voltage is outside valid range.
POK
remains active monitoring DC with
the charger enabled or disabled.
