Frequently Asked Questions
What regulated output voltage does the MCP73831T-4ADI/OT use for charge termination and which battery chemistry does it target?
The MCP73831T-4ADI/OT terminates charge at a regulated 4.4 V, which is the standard full-charge voltage for high-energy-density lithium polymer cells, making it suitable for single-cell LiPo batteries commonly found in wearables, earbuds, and compact IoT modules.
How is the charge current programmed on the MCP73831T-4ADI/OT and what is the maximum current it supports?
The charge current is set by a single external resistor connected to the PROG pin; the maximum programmable charge current is 500 mA, allowing designers to match the charge rate to battery capacity — for example, a 500 mAh cell at a 1C rate — without additional components.
What charge algorithm does the MCP73831T-4ADI/OT implement and how does it protect deeply discharged cells?
The MCP73831T-4ADI/OT implements a 3-stage algorithm: a preconditioning phase at reduced current for cells below approximately 3 V, followed by a constant-current phase at the programmed rate, and finally a constant-voltage phase at 4.4 V until charge terminates, protecting deeply discharged cells from thermal stress.
In which form factor and at what input voltage does the MCP73831T-4ADI/OT operate for USB-powered charging applications?
The MCP73831T-4ADI/OT comes in a 5-pin SOT-23 package and operates with an input voltage from a standard 5 V USB source, making it compatible with USB bus-powered designs. Its linear topology keeps the layout simple, requiring only a few bypass capacitors and one resistor.
