MAX8903A–E/G/H/J/N/Y
2A 1-Cell Li+ DC-DC Chargers
for USB and Adapter Power
26
Maxim Integrated
Note 5: Typical values. See the
Electrical Characteristics
table for min/max values.
Note 6: Note that this also changes the timing for the prequal and fast-charge timers.
Note 7: See the
Power Enable on Battery Detection
section for details.
Note 8: The MAX8903H is a newer version of the MAX8903C that is a recommended for new designs.
Selector Guide
The MAX8903_ is available in several options designat-
ed by the first letter following the root part number. The
basic architecture and functionality of the
MAX8903A–MAX8903E/MAX8903G/MAX8903Y are the
same. Their differences lie in certain electrical and
operational parameters. Table 6 outlines these differ-
ences.
