Description

The MCP73863 is a highly advanced linear charge management controller for use in space limited, high performance applications. The MCP73863 integrates most of the external components (pass transistor, reverse blocking protection, current sensing) and combines high-accuracy constant voltage/constant current regulation, cell preconditioning, cell temperature monitoring, advanced safety timers, automatic charge termination, and charge status and fault indication in a small 16-pin 4mm x 4mm QFN package.

The MCP73863 family of devices are highly advanced linear charge management controllers for use in spacelimited, cost-sensitive applications. The devices combine high-accuracy, constant voltage and current regulation, cell preconditioning, cell temperature monitoring, advanced safety timers, automatic charge termination, internal current sensing, reverse-blocking protection, charge status and fault indication in either a spacesaving 16-pin, 4 x 4 QFN or 16-pin SOIC package. The MCP7386X provides a complete, fully-functional, standalone charge management solution with a minimum number of external components.

The MCP73861/3 is intended for applications utilizing single-cell Lithium-Ion or Lithium-Polymer battery packs, while the MCP73862/4 is intended for dual series cell Lithium-Ion or Lithium-Polymer battery packs. The MCP73861/3 have two selectable voltageregulation options available (4.1V and 4.2V), for use with either coke or graphite anodes and operate with an input voltage range of 4.5V to 12V. The MCP73862/4 have two selectable voltage-regulation options available (8.2V and 8.4V), for use with coke or graphite anodes, and operate with an input voltage range of 8.7V to 12V.

The only difference between the MCP73861/2 and MCP73863/4, respectively, is the function of the charge status output (STAT1) when a charge cycle has been completed. The MCP73861/2 flash the output, while the MCP73863/4 turn the output off. Refer to Section 5.2.1 "Charge Status Outputs (STAT1,STAT2)".

The MCP7386X family of devices are fully specified over the ambient temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.
