MAX8904AETN+T

The MAX8904AETN+T battery management integrated circuit (IC) is a PMIC that is specifically designed to provide an extremely efficient and simple method to manage primary or secondary Li-ion (lithium-ion) and Li-ion Polymer (lithium-ion polymer) batteries. The integrated circuit provides many features, including a current-controlled charging process, charge and discharge protection, battery over-temperature protection, and a highly efficient 3-state switcher. It is designed to handle and monitor the charge of batteries from 1.5V to 4.5V, which is encompassed by the battery voltage range of Li-ion cells.

The MAX8904AETN+T is generally used in applications such as battery packs, portable systems, and consumer electronics. It is ideal for applications where high power and extended battery life are needed. In addition, it is suitable for easy, low-cost implementation with minimum component count and small size. Moreover, in order to minimize the risk associated with battery damage, the MAX8904AETN+T provides comprehensive safety protections.

The MAX8904AETN+T battery management IC works by constantly regulating the charging and discharging of a battery by controlling the current and charge level of the battery. The input of the IC is connected to a constant voltage or current source which provided the power to the battery. The IC also features a built-in power-MOSFET that provides a current sink or source capability as needed.

When the charge or discharge current exceeds the threshold that is programmed into the IC, the IC will automatically turn off the circuit in order to protect the battery from overcharging or over discharging. This protection feature can help to prolong the life of the battery and reduce the risk of battery failure. In addition, the IC also provides a fail-safe protection mechanism in case of a power supply failure, which will prevent the battery from discharging too quickly.

The MAX8904AETN+T is a very reliable and efficient battery management IC with a wide range of features and safety protections that help to ensure safe charging and discharging of batteries. With its low component count and small size, it is ideal for use in a wide range of portable systems and consumer electronics. It is an excellent choice for those looking for a cost-effective and efficient battery management solution.
