Frequently Asked Questions
How much charge current can the MCP73837T-FCI/UN deliver, and how is it set?
The MCP73837T-FCI/UN supports a programmable charge current of up to 1 A, set via a single external resistor connected to the PROG pin. This makes it straightforward to tailor charge rate to the battery capacity in the target design.
How does the MCP73837T-FCI/UN handle simultaneous USB and DC adapter connections?
The IC features automatic input power-source selection, giving priority to the DC adapter input over the USB 500 mA bus. When both sources are present, the charger draws from the higher-priority DC rail, preventing USB port overload while still charging a single-cell Li-Ion battery.
What thermal protection does the MCP73837T-FCI/UN offer during extended charging?
The device integrates a thermal regulation loop that reduces charge current when the junction temperature approaches approximately 120 °C, preventing thermal runaway without requiring an external temperature sensor. This is especially valuable in compact enclosures where airflow is limited.
Is the MCP73837T-FCI/UN RoHS compliant and what package is it supplied in?
Yes, the MCP73837T-FCI/UN carries a JESD-609 e3 lead-free code, confirming RoHS compliance and Pb-free construction. It is supplied in a 10-pin MSOP-10 package, which measures roughly 3 mm × 3 mm, making it suitable for PCB layouts with tight space budgets.
