The MAX8804Z functions as a stand-alone charger to control the charging sequence from the prequalification state through fast-charge, top-off charge, and fullcharge indication. The MAX8804Y eliminates the prequalification state to allow startup into a load without a battery. Proprietary thermal-regulation circuitry limits the die temperature when fast-charging or while exposed to high ambient temperatures, allowing maximum charging current without damaging the IC. The MAX8804Y/MAX8804Z achieve high flexibility by providing an adjustable DC/USB fast-charge current through a simple single-wire interface (SET input). The chargers automatically select between either a USB or AC adapter input source. The AC adapter charge current is programmable from 400mA to 700mA in 50mA steps through a serial interface. The USB charge current is programmable to 95mA, 380mA, or 475mA through the same interface. Other features include an active-low battery charging-status indicator (CHG), an active-low power-OK indicator (POK), and an active-low USB input detection output (USBPWR). The MAX8804Y/MAX8804Z accept a 4.15V to 30V DC source voltage or a 4.15V to 16V USB input voltage, but disable charging when either input voltage exceeds 7.5V to protect against unqualified or faulty input sources. The MAX8804Y/MAX8804Z operate over the extended temperature range (-40C to +85C) and are available in a tiny 8-pin thermally enhanced 2mm x 3mm TDFN package.
