Devices Supported: MCP73841, MCP73842, MCP73843

Summary Description:

The MCP7384X Li-Ion Battery Charger Evaluation Board features three circuits utilizing the MCP73841, MCP73842 and MCP73843 devices to demonstrate simple, stand-alone, linear charging of single or dual cell Lithium-Ion/ Lithium-Polymer battery packs (the battery packs are not included).

Features:

• Two single-cell reference designs and one dual-cell reference design are provided
• The reference designs demonstrate constant current charging followed by constant voltage charging with automatic charge termination
• Three levels of constant current, one for each reference design, are demonstrated: 500 mA, 1A and 275 mA for the two single cell reference designs and the dual cell reference design, respectively
