Frequently Asked Questions
How does the MCP73837-NVI/UN handle automatic switchover between a USB 5 V input and a DC adapter, and what is the priority order?
The MCP73837 monitors both the USB and DC input pins simultaneously and preferentially selects the DC input when it exceeds roughly 4.35 V, falling back to the USB 5 V path automatically if the DC supply is absent. This priority scheme ensures the battery charges from a wall adapter at the full programmed current up to 1 A, while USB charging at up to 500 mA activates only when no adapter is connected, without requiring any firmware intervention.
For a wearable device targeting 1,000 mAh cell capacity, what charge time should be expected with MCP73837-NVI/UN at maximum current?
At the maximum 1 A charge current, a depleted 1,000 mAh lithium-ion cell reaches approximately 70–80% capacity in about 1 hour during constant-current phase. The full charge cycle including the constant-voltage taper phase to 4.35 V termination typically completes in 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on cell impedance and initial state of charge, which is comparable to dedicated charger ICs in this current class.
What advantage does the 4.35 V termination of MCP73837-NVI/UN offer over a standard 4.2 V charger for high-density cells?
Modern high-voltage lithium-ion cells rated for 4.35 V store approximately 10–13% more energy than the same cell charged only to 4.2 V, translating directly to longer battery life per charge cycle. Using MCP73837 in a wearable with a 500 mAh cell at 4.35 V yields an effective capacity equivalent to a 550–565 mAh cell at 4.2 V, without any physical size increase, which is meaningful for slim form-factor devices where cell size cannot be increased.
