capacitor is 0.1FF with a voltage rating of 6.3V. The mini-
mum PVL capacitor is 1.0FF with a voltage rating of 6.3V.
Ceramic capacitors with X5R or X7R dielectric are highly
recommended due to their small size, low ESR, and small
temperature coefficients.
Certain applications require dynamic programming of the
charge current. For example, if the input supply is a USB
source, then the system might need to adjust the charge
current to support the 100mA and 500mA input current
ratings dictated by the USB-IF. Figure 2 illustrates one
approach to dynamically program the charge current. By
driving the gates of two MOSFET switches to logic-high
or logic-low, a microprocessor (FP) connects or discon-
nects different program resistors. This method allows for
four different charge current values ranging from 95mA
to 1187mA. When a MOSFET is turned on, its associated
resistor is connected to SETI. As resistors are added
in parallel, the total resistance from SETI to ground
decreases, which causes I
In the particular example of a USB input, the circuit of
Figure 2 could be leveraged as follows: When a VBUS
connect event is detected, the FP can immediately initi-
ate the USB 100mA current mode by setting GPIO[6:4]
= 0b000. After the USB transceiver has enumerated with
500mA permission, the FP can initiate the USB 500mA
current mode by setting GPIO[6:4] = 0b010. If the USB
transceiver detects that a USB suspend is needed, then
the FP can reduce the input current to 40FA by set-
ting GPIO[6:4] = 0b001. Alternatively, it is possible that
after the VBUS connect event that the USB transceiver
determines that there is a dedicated USB wall charger
(D+ and D- shorted together) and then the FP can set
the charge current to the full capability of the MAX8900_
(1.2A) by setting GPIO[6:4] = 0b110.
No-battery operation may be necessary in the applica-
tion and/or end-of-line testing during production. The

A battery charger’s input is typically very accessible to
the end-user (i.e., available on a connector) and can
potentially be exposed to very harsh conditions. The
MAX8900_ provides for high-reliability solution that can
survive harsh conditions seen on its input.
Charge source impedance can vary due to quality of
the charge source and the associated connectors. The
MAX8900_ operates very nicely with input impedance
up to 1I. When high input impedances cause the input
voltage to drop, the MAX8900_ simply reduces the
charge current to a sustainable level and tries to put as
much energy into the battery as possible. If the input
voltage falls within the V
voltage, the MAX8900_ shuts down to prevent any cur-
rent flowing from the battery back to the charger source.
The MAX8900_ does not suffer from the self-oscillation
problems that plague other chargers when exposed to
high-impedance sources.
Often the input source has long leads connecting to the
MAX8900_, which, during connection and disconnect,
can cause voltage spikes. The lead inductance and the
input capacitor create an LC tank circuit. In the event
that the LC tank circuit has a high Q (i.e., low series
