INTRODUCTION Space and complexity are two key concerns in portable electronic design. The highly integrated MCP73871 device has overcome the hurdles by including the required ele- ments to meet the design challenges when developing new Li-Ion / Li-Polymer battery powered products.
“Stand-alone Linear Li-Ion / Li-Poly Battery Charge and System Load Sharing Manage- ment Controller”. The MCP73871 Evaluation Board is designed to deliver minimum 1.5A total current to system load and to a single cell Li-Ion battery at 4.2V preset voltage regulation. (4.1V, 4.35V and 4.4V options are also available for MCP73871) The MCP73871 Evaluation...
The system load is also supported by the Li-Ion battery when the input power is disconnected. A number of device options allow the MCP73871 to be utilized in a variety of applications. Refer to the MCP73871 Data Sheet (DS22090) and/or contact local Microchip supports for additional device options.
