The MP2617 is a monolithic switch mode battery charger with power path management for single-cell Li-ion batteries in a wide range of tablet and other portable devices. It integrates a synchronous BUCK regulator to provide regulated voltage for powering the system output and at the same time charging the battery. This device supports both USB and high power DC adapter input. In USB mode, the input current limit can be programmed to 450mA or 825mA via the logic pins to cover the USB2.0 and USB3.0 specifications. When the adapter input is present, the input current can also be limited in order to avoid overloading of the DC adapter. Input current limit can be programmed up to 3A. The smart power path management allows MP2617 to regulate the system voltage for powering an external load and charging the battery independently and simultaneously. This allows immediate system operation even under missing or deeply discharged battery. When the input current limit is reached, the system load is satisfied in priority, then the charger will take the remaining current to charge the battery. Additionally, the smart power path control allows an internal connection from battery to the system in order to supplement additional power to the load in the event the system power demand increases over the input limited power or the input is removed. The MP2617 features high integration with all the power switches included inside. No external MOSFET, blocking diodes, or current sense resistor is required. Two status monitor output pins are provided to indicate the battery charge status and power source status. Other features include trickle charge, battery temperature monitoring, timer and thermal limiting regulation on chip. MP2617 is available in QFN 3mmx4mm package.4V to 14V Operating Input Voltage Smart Power Path Management Five Control Loops: Input Current Limit, Input Voltage Limit, Constant Charge Current, Terminal Battery Control and Thermal Fold-Back 1.6MHz Switching Frequency Programmable Input Current Limit Programmable Charge Current Single Input for USB and AC adapter Cover USB2.0 and USB3.0 Input Specification Fully Integrated Power Switches No External Blocking Diode and Sense Resistor Required Charging Operation Indicator Built-in Programmable Charging Timer Thermal Limiting Regulation on Chip Battery Temperature Monitor Tiny Package Features Small Size
