Multi-chemistry constant-current charger for 1-16 cells
The MAX712CSE+ is a multi-chemistry battery charger IC from Analog Devices, designed to charge packs of 1 to 16 series cells using a constant-current profile. Operating from a supply up to 5.5 V, it fits designs powered by a standard 5 V USB rail or a regulated 5 V supply — common in consumer electronics, benchtop chargers, and portable instruments.
Package and board-fit for 16-SOIC
Housed in a 16-SOIC narrow-body (0.154-inch width, 3.90 mm body) surface-mount package, the MAX712CSE+ lands on a standard SOIC-16 footprint with 1.27 mm pitch — a widely supported land pattern that routes easily on a two-layer board. The tube shipping format is typical for SOIC packages in through-tube handling; the IC is also available in tape-and-reel under a different order code if pick-and-place volume requires it.
Active lifecycle and ROHS3 compliance
It is ROHS3 compliant, covering all exemptions — no transition end date applies for EU RoHS markets.
