Single-cell Li-Ion charger with USB input and 1.5 A ceiling
The device integrates fault protection against over-temperature, over-voltage, reverse current, and short circuit, reducing the need for external monitoring components.
Charge current and thermal budget at 1.5 A
At the 1.5 A maximum charge current, the linear regulator dissipates power as heat equal to (VIN - VBAT) × ICHG. The programmable timer and current features let the designer set the charge profile without external resistors on the ISET pin — a single resistor from the ISET pin to GND sets the charge current, and the timer pin sets the safety timeout.
