Multi-chemistry charger for 2–4 cell packs
The MAX17085BETL+T from Analog Devices is a multi-chemistry battery charger IC designed for portable and industrial equipment that runs on 2 to 4 series cells. It accepts a supply up to 24 V and delivers a constant programmable charging current — the exact current setpoint is defined by external resistors, so the same part can charge a 2-cell Li-ion pack in a handheld instrument or a 4-cell LiFePO4 bank in a field radio. Overcurrent and overvoltage fault protection are built in, which saves a supervisor IC and a sense resistor on the BOM.
