MAX1631AEAI+TGC1

The MAX1631AEAI+TGC1 is an integrated circuit (IC) component designed for use in battery charging applications. It is a highly efficient, low-power, step-down, DC-DC converter. One of the key features of this IC component is its ability to provide a constant output voltage with a maximum output current of 1.2A. This makes it suitable for charging various types of batteries, including Li-ion and Li-polymer batteries. The MAX1631AEAI+TGC1 operates with a high efficiency of up to 95% due to its synchronous rectification architecture. This helps in reducing power losses and achieving longer battery runtimes. To ensure safe charging, the IC component incorporates several protection features. It includes an over-temperature protection that prevents the circuit from overheating. There is also an input undervoltage lockout (UVLO) feature that shuts down the IC when the input voltage drops below a certain threshold. Additionally, it has both short-circuit and overvoltage protections. The MAX1631AEAI+TGC1 offers flexibility in terms of input voltage range, supporting inputs from 3.7V to 14V. It has a single-pin programming option for setting the output voltage within the range of 1.2V to 10V. With a small footprint and low-profile package, this IC component is suitable for space-constrained applications
