Analog Devices / Maxim Integrated MAX17703 Li-Ion Battery Charger Controller

Analog Devices MAX17703 Step-Down Li-Ion Battery Charger Controller is a high-efficiency, high-voltage, synchronous, step-down, Himalaya Li-Ion battery-charger controller designed to operate over an input voltage range of a 4.5V to 60V.

The MAX17703 Controller operates over a wide -40°C to +125°C temperature range and delivers a complete charging solution for Li-ion batteries with a ±4% accurate constant current. The output voltage is programmable from 1.25V up to (VDCIN – 2.1V) with ±1% regulation accuracy.

The Analog Devices MAX17703 Li-Ion Battery Charger Controller uses an external nMOSFET to provide input supply-side short-circuit protection, preventing battery discharge. The device charges the battery in constant current (CC) and constant voltage (CV) states and terminates in a top-up-charge state after the taper timer is elapsed.

The MAX17703 is housed in a 24-pin 4mm x 4mm TQFN package with an exposed pad.
