Frequently Asked Questions
How is the charge current of MCP73831-2ATI/MC set, and what is the maximum supported value?
The charge current of MCP73831-2ATI/MC is programmed by connecting a single resistor between the PROG pin and GND. The maximum charge current is 500 mA, set with a resistor of approximately 2 kΩ. Lower values can be selected for smaller battery packs, allowing designers to match charge rate to battery capacity without firmware changes or additional ICs.
At what temperature does MCP73831-2ATI/MC activate thermal shutdown, and how does this protect the battery?
MCP73831-2ATI/MC activates its internal thermal shutdown at a junction temperature of 150°C. When this threshold is reached, the charger reduces or stops current flow, preventing thermal runaway in the Li-Ion cell and protecting the IC itself. Once the junction temperature drops back below the threshold, charging resumes automatically, ensuring reliable operation in compact enclosures with limited airflow.
For a 400 mAh Li-Poly wearable battery, what charge current setting and approximate charge time does MCP73831-2ATI/MC support?
For a 400 mAh Li-Poly cell, a typical C/2 charge rate of 200 mA is set by using a 10 kΩ resistor on the PROG pin of MCP73831-2ATI/MC. At 200 mA constant current, the battery reaches approximately 80% capacity in about 90 minutes, with the remaining capacity filled during the constant-voltage 4.2 V phase, giving a total charge time near 2.5 hours.
How does the DFN-8 package of MCP73831-2ATI/MC compare to SOT-23-5 alternatives for space-constrained designs?
The DFN-8 package of MCP73831-2ATI/MC offers an exposed thermal pad that improves heat dissipation during high-current 500 mA charging, reducing junction temperature rise by several degrees compared to SOT-23-5 packages lacking a thermal pad. At roughly 2x3 mm footprint, the DFN-8 also provides a smaller PCB area than typical SOT-23-5 outlines, making it preferable for ultra-thin wearable and hearing aid PCB designs.
