SC-70-5 package and board-fit
The MAX6778XK+T comes in a 5-TSSOP, SC-70-5, SOT-353 package — a 5-lead surface-mount footprint that shares pad geometry across the SC-70 family. The supplier device package is SC-70-5, so the land pattern matches the standard JEDEC MO-203 variation. The reel format suits automated lines; Cut Tape works for prototyping or low-volume builds.
Single-cell multi-chemistry battery monitor
The MAX6778XK+T is a battery monitor IC designed for single-cell (1 cell) applications. It supports multi-chemistry chemistries — Li-ion, Li-Poly, NiMH, NiCd, and alkaline — so the same BOM position can serve different battery types without a board spin. This makes it suitable for portable instruments, handheld medical devices, and remote sensors that see temperature extremes.
