Single-cell Li-Ion charger with USB input and integrated protection
It accepts a USB input up to 10.2 V and delivers a programmable constant charge current up to 500 mA to a 4.2 V battery pack. The charger integrates fault protection against over-temperature, over-voltage, reverse current, and short circuit, reducing external component count. The programmable current and timer features let the designer tailor the charge profile to the cell capacity.
500 mA charge current — sizing the charge time
The 500 mA maximum charge current sets the charge time for a given cell capacity.
