The MCP73213T-G6AI/MF is a highly integrated, single-cell, Li-Ion/Li-Polymer battery charge management controller IC component. It is designed to provide efficient and safe charging for portable devices, such as smartphones, tablets, and portable media players. Here are some key features of this IC:
1. Integrated features: The MCP73213T-G6AI/MF combines several essential charging functions into a single IC, reducing the system complexity and cost. It includes a linear regulator, current sense, voltage sense, and charge status indications.
2. Charging modes: This IC supports three charging modes, which are Constant Current (CC), Constant Voltage (CV), and Constant Current/Constant Voltage (CC/CV). The charging mode selection can be done through external resistors or automatically detected based on battery voltage and temperature conditions.
3. High charging current capability: The MCP73213T-G6AI/MF can handle a maximum charging current of 1.5A, enabling fast charging of high-capacity batteries in a relatively short time.
4. Charge termination: The IC provides multiple charge termination options to maximize the battery life and prevent overcharging. It supports three methods: maximum charge time, minimum current threshold, and minimum voltage threshold.
5. Safety features: The MCP73213T-G6AI/MF incorporates multiple safety features to ensure safe charging operations
