Dual-input Li+ charger for portable power
The MAX8601ETD from Analog Devices is a dual-input battery charger IC designed for single-cell lithium-ion (Li+) applications. It accepts power from two separate sources — typically a USB port and a wall adapter — and manages the charge cycle automatically.
RoHS compliance and procurement planning
This is a critical flag for BOMs destined for EU markets or any jurisdiction enforcing RoHS exemptions.
Package and handling note
Supplied in Bulk packaging — no reel or tape carrier. This typically means the ICs arrive in tubes or trays, which affects pick-and-place feeder setup and moisture-sensitivity handling. Confirm the MSL level with the datasheet before the reflow profile is locked.
