WHAT IS THE MCP73833 LI-ION BATTERY CHARGER EVALUATION
BOARD?
The MCP73833 Li-Ion Battery Charger Evaluation Board is an evaluation and
demonstration tool for Microchip’s MCP73833/4 Stand-Alone Linear Li-Ion/Li-Polymer
Charge Management Controllers.
The evaluation board has two circuits provided with one circuit fully assembled and
tested. Each circuit is set up to evaluate simple, stand-alone, linear charging of single
cell Li-Ion / Li-Polymer battery packs (the battery packs are not included). The circuits
can be evaluated independently. Each circuit design provides constant current
charging followed by constant voltage charging with automatic charge termination and
battery temperature monitoring. In addition, the assembled MCP73833/4-FC circuit
provides preconditioning of deeply depleted cells.
Each board design provides evaluation of the MCP73833/4 in two package options: a
MSOP-10 (not assembled) and a 3mm x 3mm, 10-Lead DFN (assembled) for higher
power handling capability.
When connected, this evaluation board allows for the evaluation of the MCP73833/4
devices in a variety of applications.
