Multi-chemistry battery charger in a compact 16-TSSOP
The Maxim Integrated DS2712E+T&R is a multi-chemistry battery charger IC designed to charge one or two cells from a supply rail up to 5.5 V. It handles NiMH, NiCd, and lithium-ion chemistries without needing external chemistry-selection components, which simplifies the BOM for portable and handheld equipment. The part comes in a 16-TSSOP package for surface-mount assembly and is rated for the commercial temperature range of -20°C to 70°C.
