Smart Power Selector Li-Ion charger for portable designs
The MAX8903AETI+ from Analog Devices is a single-cell Li-Ion battery charger IC belonging to the Smart Power Selector series. It handles a constant-current programmable charge up to 2A, fed from a USB interface, and targets portable equipment where the system load can be powered directly from the charger while the battery charges independently. The 28-TQFN (4x4 mm) package with exposed pad keeps the thermal path short for the 2A charge current. Operating over -40°C to 85°C, it suits industrial handhelds, medical monitors, and outdoor IoT nodes that see temperature swings.
Active lifecycle — no LTB pressure
The MAX8903AETI+ carries an active lifecycle status, so there is no last-time-buy clock running. It is ROHS3 compliant, which matches current assembly requirements. For BOM planners: no PCN watch needed yet; this part is a stable line item for new designs and production runs. Sourced through independent distribution, availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time against an RFQ.
