The MAX713CPE is a highly integrated voltage regulator and battery charger IC component manufactured by Maxim Integrated Products. It is primarily designed for use in portable devices that require charging and regulating single-cell Li-ion/Li-Poly batteries.
The key features of the MAX713CPE are as follows:
1. Integrated Power Path: The component features a power path switch that enables simultaneous battery charging and system operation. This ensures uninterrupted power supply to the device even during the charging process.
2. Automatic Power Management: The IC includes an integrated low-dropout (LDO) linear regulator that regulates the input voltage down to the desired voltage level for the device. It automatically switches between input power sources such as AC adapter, USB, or Li-ion battery, depending on availability and priority.
3. Efficient Battery Charging: The MAX713CPE incorporates a sophisticated battery charging circuitry that optimizes the charging process for maximum efficiency and safety. It employs a constant-current/constant-voltage (CC/CV) charging algorithm, ensuring proper charge termination and preventing overcharging or over-discharging of the battery.
4. Battery Temperature Monitoring: The component integrates a built-in temperature sensor to monitor the battery temperature during the charging process. This helps prevent potential battery damage due to excessive heat by adjusting the charging parameters accordingly.
5. Status Indicators: The IC includes several status indicators such as charge status, power source detection, and battery fault detection. These indicators facilitate easy monitoring and troubleshooting of the charging process
