General Description The MAX1909/MAX8725 highly integrated control ICs simplify construction of accurate and efficient multichemistry battery chargers. The MAX1909/MAX8725 use analog inputs to control charge current and voltage, and can be programmed by a host microcontroller (?C) or hardwired. High efficiency is achieved through use of buck topology with synchronous rectification. The maximum current drawn […]

General Description The MAX8732A/MAX8733A/MAX8734A dual step-down, switch-mode power-supply (SMPS) controllers generate logic-supply voltages in battery-powered systems. The MAX8732A/MAX8733A/MAX8734A include two pulsewidth modulation (PWM) controllers, adjustable from 2V to 5.5V or fixed at 5V and 3.3V. These devices feature two linear regulators providing 5V and 3.3V always-on outputs. Each linear regulator provides up to 100mA output […]
