Key Featrues

Stand-Alone Linear 1-Cell Li+ Battery Charger: The MAX1508 operates independently without requiring external components like FETs, reverse-blocking diodes, or current-sense resistors. This simplifies design and reduces the overall footprint, making it ideal for compact handheld devices.
Programmable Fast-Charge Current (0.8A max): The charger allows for adjustable fast-charge currents up to 0.8A, enabling faster charging times while maintaining safety and efficiency, which is crucial for portable electronics with limited charging windows.
Proprietary Die-Temperature Regulation Control (+100°C): The integrated thermal regulation ensures the device operates within safe temperature limits, preventing overheating and enhancing reliability, especially in high-temperature environments or during prolonged charging cycles.
Input Power-Source Detection Output (Active-Low ACOK): This feature provides a signal to indicate the presence of a valid power source, improving system efficiency by enabling power management and reducing unnecessary power consumption when no source is detected.
Low Dropout Voltage (130mV at 0.425A): The low dropout voltage minimizes power loss during charging, improving energy efficiency and extending battery life, which is particularly beneficial for devices with tight power budgets or limited battery capacity.

Applications

Bluetooth® Equipment Charger: The MAX1508 is ideal for charging Bluetooth® devices, such as headsets, speakers, and other wireless peripherals. Its integrated pass FET and thermal regulation ensure safe and efficient charging, while the compact 3mm x 3mm TDFN package makes it suitable for space-constrained designs in portable electronics.
Cell Phone/Cordless Phone Charger: The MAX1508 is perfect for charging single-cell lithium-ion batteries in cell phones and cordless phones. Its programmable fast-charge current and input overvoltage protection provide reliable and fast charging, while the active-low ACOK flag ensures compatibility with various power sources.
Digital Camera/MP3 Player Charger: The MAX1508 is well-suited for charging digital cameras and MP3 players. Its low dropout voltage and soft-start feature minimize inrush current, protecting sensitive electronics. The charge status output (active-low CHG) allows for easy integration with LED indicators or microprocessors, enhancing user experience.
PDA/USB Appliance Charger: The MAX1508 is an excellent choice for charging PDAs and USB-powered appliances. Its stand-alone operation eliminates the need for external components, simplifying design and reducing cost. The proprietary die-temperature regulation ensures safe operation even in high-temperature environments, making it ideal for portable and handheld devices.
