Battery-charger controller
Torex Semiconductor
The XC6801 includes a reference voltage source, battery voltage monitor, driver transistor, constant-current/constant-voltage charge circuit, overheat protection circuit and phase compensation circuit.
The battery charge termination voltage is internally set to 4.2V ±0.7% and the trickle charge voltage and accuracy is 2.9V ±3%.
In trickle charge mode, a safe battery charge is possible because approximately only 1/10 of the full charge current is supplied to the battery.
As it is possible to select a highly accurate charge current of either 100mA (MAX.) for L level input to the LIM pin or 500mA (MAX.) for H level, the series is ideal for applications where the charge is from USB.
The series' charge status output pin, /CHG pin, is capable of checking the IC's charging state via connection to an external LED.
