2-cell multi-chem charger, 4 A ceiling
The MAX1873REEE+ is a multi-chemistry battery charger IC designed to charge 2-series cell packs to 8.4 V. The charge current is constant and programmable, with a maximum of 4 A — this sets the charge-time floor for a given pack capacity.
The supplier device package is also listed as 16-QSOP — same footprint, same pinout. The 0.025" pitch demands a standard SSOP land pattern; no fine-pitch reflow profile required.
