Applications Information
Charge-Current Selection
The maximum charging current is programmed by an
external R
ISET
resistor connected from ISET to GND.
Select the R
ISET
value based on the following formula:
I
FAST
= 1461V / R
ISET
Ω
where I
FAST
is in amps and R
ISET
is in ohms. ISET can
also be used to monitor the fast-charge current level.
The output current from the ISET pin is 0.958mA per
amp of charging current. The output voltage at ISET is
proportional to the charging current as follows:
V
ISET
= (I
CHG
x R
ISET
) / 1044
The voltage at ISET is nominally 1.4V at the selected
fast-charge current, and falls with charging current as
the cell becomes fully charged.
Thermal Regulation
The MAX1508 features a proprietary thermal-regulation
circuit to protect both the IC and the system from
excessive heat. When the MAX1508’s die temperature
reaches +100°C, the charge current is reduced to pre-
vent any additional increase in the die temperature. An
active thermal loop does not indicate a fault condition.
Thermal regulation allows the MAX1508 to provide con-
tinuous charge to the battery under adverse conditions
without causing excessive power dissipation.
