Frequently Asked Questions
How is the charge current configured on the MCP73832T-2ACI/OT?
The charge current is set by a single external resistor connected to the PROG pin. For example, a 2 kΩ resistor sets approximately 500 mA, while a 10 kΩ resistor yields roughly 100 mA, allowing designers to tune current between 15 mA and 500 mA for different battery capacities.
At what temperature does the MCP73832T-2ACI/OT trigger thermal shutdown?
The device activates its thermal shutdown protection at a junction temperature of 150°C, automatically reducing charge current to prevent overheating. This feature protects both the IC and the battery in designs where ambient temperatures or continuous operation may cause heat buildup in compact enclosures.
Which battery chemistries and cell counts is this charger compatible with?
The MCP73832T-2ACI/OT supports single-cell Li-Ion and Li-Polymer batteries with a regulated termination voltage of 4.20 V ±0.75%. It is not designed for multi-cell series stacks or alternative chemistries such as NiMH, making it best suited for single-cell portable devices up to 500 mA charge current.
How compact is the SOT-23-5 package and what does this mean for PCB design?
The SOT-23-5 package measures approximately 3 mm × 1.75 mm, requiring as few as 3 external passive components to complete a functional charger circuit. This small footprint and low component count make the MCP73832T-2ACI/OT one of the most space-efficient 500 mA Li-Ion charger solutions available for wearable and handheld product designs.
