SMBus Level 2 Battery Charger
with Remote Sense
General Description
The MAX8731A is an SMBus™ programmable multi-
chemistry battery charger. The MAX8731A uses a mini-
mal command set to easily program the charge voltage,
charge current, and adapter current limit.
The MAX8731A charges one to four Li+ series cells and
delivers up to 8A charge current. The MAX8731A drives
n-channel MOSFETs for improved efficiency and
reduced cost. Low-offset current-sense amplifiers pro-
vide high accuracy with 10mΩ sense resistors.
The MAX8731A current-sense amplifiers provide high
accuracy (3% at 3.5A) and also provide fast cycle-by-
cycle current-mode control to protect against battery
short circuit and system load transients.
The charger employs dual remote sense, which reduces
charge time by measuring the feedback voltage directly
at the battery, improving accuracy of initial transition into
constant-voltage mode. The MAX8731A provides 0.5%
battery voltage accuracy directly at the battery terminal.
The MAX8731A provides a digital output that indicates
the presence of the AC adapter, as well as an analog out-
put that indicates the adapter current within 4% accuracy.
The MAX8731A is available in a small 5mm x 5mm,
28-pin, thin (0.8mm) QFN package. An evaluation kit is
available to reduce design time. The MAX8731A is avail-
able in a lead-free package.
