What this part is and where it fits
The ADP3810AR-8.4-REEL is a constant-current programmable Li-ion/Polymer battery charge controller in an 8-SOIC surface-mount package. It targets low-rate charging applications where the pack voltage settles at 8.4 V and the charge current tops out at 6 mA.
Key ratings and what they mean for the BOM
The 8.4 V battery pack voltage and 6 mA maximum charge current define the operating point. This is not a high-rate charger — it is sized for maintenance or topping charge where the battery sees a low continuous current.
Sourcing and lifecycle reality
The ADP3810AR-8.4-REEL carries an Active lifecycle status, so there is no end-of-life or last-time-buy pressure on this BOM line. It is RoHS non-compliant — a flag for designs that must meet RoHS directives; verify your assembly house's exemption or plan for a lead-free alternative if the board requires it.
