Key Features
- Linear Li-Ion charger with 4.2 V preset termination voltage and up to 1 A programmable charge current via single resistor
- Integrated thermal regulation automatically reduces charge current to prevent overheating in thermally limited enclosures
- Tiny MSOP-10 package measuring 3 mm x 3 mm enables ultra-compact single-cell battery charger designs
Applications
The MCP73834-FCI/UN is designed for portable consumer electronics such as Bluetooth earbuds, wearable health monitors, and handheld instruments that charge a single-cell Li-Ion or Li-Polymer battery from a USB 5 V source. Its linear topology eliminates inductor noise, making it ideal for RF-sensitive designs. The automatic thermal derating feature protects the device and battery in tight plastic enclosures without external thermistors.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is the charge current programmed in the MCP73834-FCI/UN and what resistor value corresponds to 500 mA?
Charge current is set by a single external resistor connected between the PROG pin and ground. For 500 mA charge current, a 2 kΩ resistor is required, while a 1 kΩ resistor programs the maximum 1 A rate, per the MCP73834 datasheet formula IPROG = VPROG / RPROG.
What termination voltage does the MCP73834-FCI/UN regulate to and how does that suit standard Li-Ion cell chemistry?
The MCP73834-FCI/UN regulates to a fixed 4.2 V charge termination voltage, which matches the standard full-charge specification for lithium cobalt oxide and lithium manganese oxide single-cell batteries, ensuring maximum capacity utilization without overcharging and preserving cycle life beyond 300 to 500 cycles.
In a USB-powered wearable design, how does the MCP73834-FCI/UN's thermal regulation protect the battery during fast charging?
When junction temperature approaches the thermal regulation threshold of approximately 110°C, the MCP73834-FCI/UN automatically reduces the charge current proportionally, preventing thermal runaway in tight enclosures. This means the device can safely charge at 1 A programmed rate in free air and automatically derate to 300 mA or less inside a sealed plastic housing at 40°C ambient.
What is the factory lead time for the MCP73834-FCI/UN and does its Not Qualified status affect design-in risk?
Factory lead time is 6 weeks. The Not Qualified status indicates the part has not completed formal AEC-Q100 or similar automotive-grade qualification testing, making it appropriate for consumer and industrial designs but not for automotive or safety-critical applications that mandate Grade 1 or Grade 0 qualification levels.
