Frequently Asked Questions
What is the regulated output voltage of the MCP73831-5ACI/MC, and how accurate is it?
The MCP73831-5ACI/MC regulates the charge voltage to 4.5 V with a tight tolerance of ±0.75%, ensuring consistent and safe Li-Ion/Li-Poly single-cell charging across temperature and supply variations.
How is the charge current set on the MCP73831-5ACI/MC, and what is the maximum supported current?
Charge current is programmed by a single external resistor connected to the PROG pin, allowing values from approximately 15 mA up to 500 mA. This makes the IC flexible for batteries ranging from small coin-cell-sized packs to standard Li-Poly cells used in wearables.
Which package does MCP73831-5ACI/MC use, and what thermal protection does it include?
The device is housed in an 8-pin DFN (2 mm × 3 mm) small-outline no-lead package. It integrates thermal shutdown that activates at 150°C, automatically reducing charge current to protect the IC and battery in high-temperature or thermally constrained environments.
Can the MCP73831-5ACI/MC charge batteries in USB-powered products, and what input voltage does it require?
Yes. The MCP73831-5ACI/MC operates from a 4.5 V to 6.0 V input supply, making it fully compatible with USB 5 V bus power. Its linear topology eliminates the need for inductors, reducing BOM cost and EMI in portable USB-powered chargers and IoT devices.
