MAX1640/MAX1641
The voltage at SET is given by:
R1 = R2 (V
REF
/ V
SET
-1 ); 10kΩ < R2 < 300kΩ
where V
REF
= 2V and V
SET
is proportional to the
desired output current level.
The MAX1640/MAX1641 are specified for V
SET
between 0V and V
REF
. For V
SET
> V
REF
, output current
increases linearly (with reduced accuracy) until it
clamps at V
SET
≈ 4V.
Pulse-Trickle Mode: Selecting the
Pulse-Trickle Current
Pulling D0 low and D1 high selects pulse-trickle mode.
This current equals V
SET
/ (13.3R
SENSE
) and remains
on for 12.5% of the period set by R
TOFF
. Pulse-trickle
current maintains full charge across the battery and
can slowly charge a cold battery before fast charging
commences.
Off Mode: Turning Off the Output Current
Pulling D0 and D1 low turns off the P-channel FET and
hence the output current flow. This mode also controls
end of charge and protects the battery against exces-
sive temperatures.
Setting the Maximum Output
Voltage Level
The maximum output voltage should be programmed to
a level higher than the output/battery voltage (I
LOAD
x
R
LOAD
). An external resistor-divider between the output
and ground (Figure 4) sets the voltage at TERM. Once
the voltage at TERM exceeds the reference, the internal
comparator turns off the P-channel FET, terminating
current flow. Select R4 in the 10kΩ to 500kΩ range.
R3 is given by:
R3 = R4 (V
OUT
/ V
TERM
) -1
