Microchip | MCP1630RD-LIC1

The MCP1630 Multi-Bay Li-Ion Charger is used to evaluate Microchip’s MCP1630 used in a SEPIC power converter application. The MCP1630 Multi-Bay Li-Ion Charger is capable of charging two single-cell, Li-Ion battery packs in parallel utilizing an input voltage of 10V to 30V (battery packs are not included). 

The MCP1630 Multi-Bay Li-Ion Charger is intended for use in pseudo-smart battery charger applications utilizing battery packs containing Microchip’s PS700 Battery Monitor. Standard battery packs can be utilized as well. The MCP1630 Multi-Bay Li-Ion Charger provides a constant current – constant voltage charge with preconditioning, cell temperature monitoring and battery pack fault monitoring. Each charger bay provides a status and fault indication.

Features:

• Over Voltage Protection (battery removed)
• Over Charge Protection to prevent the battery from becoming dangerously overcharged
• Over Current Protection in the event of a shorted battery
• Battery Reversal Protection
• Input Short Circuit Protection
• Over Temperature Protection to prevent the battery from reaching too high a temperature during charge
• Fast charge termination if the battery temperature is outside a preset window
• Controlled soft-start
• The MCP1630 Multi-Bay Li-Ion Charger terminates charge by detecting a predefined charge current threshold during constant voltage charge, or a specified elapsed time
• The MCP1630 Multi-Bay Li-Ion Charger has the flexibility to optimize the charging algorithm for new battery technology
