Battery charge controller for NiCd/NiMH packs
The MAX2003CSE is a battery fast-charge controller IC from Analog Devices, designed for NiCd and NiMH chemistries. It sits in the Discrete Semiconductors category and is listed as Active in its lifecycle stage. The part ships in Bulk packaging, which is the standard tube or tray format for through-hole or surface-mount ICs that are not reeled for automated pick-and-place. This means a board assembler will need to handle the parts individually or load them into a tube feeder.
RoHS status and compliance planning
The MAX2003CSE is marked RoHS non-compliant. This is a critical flag for any BOM that requires RoHS-10 (EU 2015/863) conformance — the part contains lead or other restricted substances above the threshold. A RoHS-compliant alternative or an exemption claim must be in place before this part goes into a product sold in the EU or other regulated markets. Active lifecycle means the manufacturer continues to support the part for new and existing designs. No end-of-life notice or last-time-buy window is recorded for this order code.
