With the growing popularity of portable electronic devices powered by rechargeable batteries, selecting the appropriate battery-charging integrated circuit (IC) is crucial for efficient and safe charging.
The ADP2291 is a constant-current/constant-voltage linear charger for a single-cell lithium-ion battery. ADP2291 requires a few components to operate. It has a wide 4.5 V to 12 V input voltage range.
The BQ24074 is a Li-Ion/li-poly linear charger with built-in power path management, which allows the device to power the system while charging the battery.
The MAX8903 is a dual-input charger which supports separate DC and USB inputs. This switch mode charger uses high-speed switching to eliminate heat and decrease external components.
This BQ29700 is a single-cell Li-ion/Li-polymer battery protection IC from Texas Instruments. BQ29700 features all the standard protection features such as Overcharge, Over-discharge, Charge overcurrent, Discharge overcurrent, and Load short-circuit protections.
The LTC2942 is a high-precision power and energy monitor manufactured by Analog Devices. It is capable to monitor the voltage, charge, and temperature.
The MAX1898 is a highly advanced and efficient charging solution for 1-cell lithium-ion (Li+) batteries, when coupled with an external PNP or PMOS transistor.
