Microchip LI-ION Battery Charger Power Management Development Kit Charge Manager Evaluation Kit 4.20V MCP73833EV

Microchip MCP73833EV LI-ION Battery Charger Power Management Development Kit is designed for evaluation and development of lithium-ion battery charging solutions. This kit includes the MCP73833 charge manager evaluation board featuring two configurable circuits to assess different device options. It supports a precise charge voltage of 4.20V, with fast charge currents programmable up to 1000 mA, providing efficient charging tailored to various battery requirements.

The charger offers a preconditioning stage designed to safely charge deeply depleted cells with a threshold voltage set at 3.0V and a preconditioning current at 10% of the programmed fast charge current, ensuring battery safety and durability. Automatic charge termination mechanisms are embedded, including minimum current detection in the constant voltage mode and a safety time limit of 6 hours to avoid overcharging risks.

Additional intelligent features include an automatic recharge threshold voltage of 4.05V and thermal regulation combined with cell temperature monitoring to maintain optimal charging conditions and battery performance. The inclusion of reverse discharge protection and charge current monitoring adds to the safety and reliability of this kit.

The compact design uses a 3 mm x 3 mm, 10-lead DFN package, allowing for enhanced power handling capabilities and simple stand-alone operation. This development kit is powered from an external bench supply or a voltage-regulated wall cube, making it adaptable for various testing environments.
