APPLICATIONS

The MCP73833/4 is designed to operate in conjunction

with a host microcontroller or in stand-alone

applications. The MCP73833/4 provides the preferred

charge algorithm for Lithium-Ion and Lithium-Polymer

cells Constant-current followed by Constant-voltage.

Figure 6-1 depicts a typical stand-alone application

circuit,

while

Figures 6-2

and 6-3

depict

the

accompanying charge profile.

Application Circuit Design

Due to the low efficiency of linear charging, the most

important factors are thermal design and cost, which

are a direct function of the input voltage, output current

and thermal impedance between the battery charger

and the ambient cooling air. The worst-case scenario is

when

the

device

has

transitioned

from

the

Preconditioning mode to the Constant-current mode. In

this situation, the battery charger has to dissipate the

maximum power. A trade-off must be made between

the charge current, cost and thermal requirements of

the charger.

COMPONENT SELECTION

Selection of the external components in Figure 6-1 is

crucial to the integrity and reliability of the charging

system. The following discussion is intended as a guide

for the component selection process.

6.1.1.1

Current Programming Resistor

(RPROG)

The preferred fast charge current for Lithium-Ion cells

is at the 1C rate, with an absolute maximum current at

the 2C rate. For example, a 500 mAh battery pack has

a preferred fast charge current of 500 mA. Charging at

this rate provides the shortest charge cycle times

without degradation to the battery pack performance or

life.
