The MP2696A is a highly integrated, flexible,
switch-mode battery charge management and
system power path management device. It is
designed for a single-cell Li-ion and Li-Polymer
battery, and is ideal for a wide range of portable
applications.
The device integrates a full-featured, battery
charging profile with three phases: pre-charge,
constant current, and constant voltage charge. It
also manages theinput power source using input
current limit regulation and minimum input
voltage regulation.
The MP2696A can switch to boost mode to
generate the system power output from the
battery. It has an integrated, IN-to-SYS pass-
through path to pass the input voltage to system.
With the I2C interface, the host can program the
charge and boost parameters and read the
device’s operating status in the registers.
Safety features include: SYS short circuit
protection, input over-voltage protection, battery
under-voltage protection, thermal shutdown, and
JEITA battery temperature monitoring.
