Key Features
- Single-channel linear Li-ion/Li-polymer battery charger with integrated CC/CV charge algorithm eliminating external control circuitry
- Ultra-compact 3 mm × 3 mm, 0.9 mm height 10-pin DFN package enabling integration in space-constrained wearable and portable designs
- Fixed threshold configuration simplifying BOM and firmware by removing adjustable component requirements
- RoHS-compliant Pb-free JESD-609 e3 construction suitable for consumer electronics and industrial portable devices
Applications
The MCP73855-I/MF targets single-cell Li-ion and Li-polymer battery-powered portable devices such as wireless earbuds, fitness trackers, handheld medical instruments, and IoT sensor nodes requiring an autonomous charge management solution. Its integrated constant-current/constant-voltage algorithm handles the full charge cycle from preconditioning through termination without external supervisory firmware. The 3 mm × 3 mm DFN footprint allows designers to place the charger IC directly adjacent to the battery connector on boards with under 500 mm² total area.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does MCP73855-I/MF's integrated CC/CV algorithm simplify Li-ion charger design compared to a discrete solution?
The MCP73855-I/MF integrates the complete constant-current and constant-voltage charge profile—typically 4.2 V termination voltage with programmable charge current—on a single IC, replacing a discrete solution that would require a precision reference, a current-sense amplifier, a comparator, and a pass transistor. This integration reduces the component count by roughly 5–8 parts, shrinks PCB area by several hundred mm², and eliminates the need for firmware-controlled charge state management in simple single-cell Li-ion charger applications.
For a fitness tracker PCB with under 300 mm² board area, how does MCP73855-I/MF's DFN package compare to larger SO-8 charger ICs?
The MCP73855-I/MF's 3 mm × 3 mm DFN package with 0.9 mm height occupies approximately 9 mm² of PCB footprint, versus roughly 20 mm² for a standard SO-8 charger IC—less than half the area. The reduced 0.9 mm profile also fits under battery packs in stacked-board designs where vertical clearance is limited to 1 mm above the PCB surface, making it a better fit for ultra-thin fitness trackers and smartwatch modules than taller SOIC alternatives.
In production procurement, what lead time and qualification considerations apply to MCP73855-I/MF?
Microchip lists a 7-week factory lead time for MCP73855-I/MF, which is shorter than many specialty charger ICs in similar package classes, allowing procurement teams to plan 8–10 week safety stock buffers for medium-volume consumer electronics builds. The YTEOL (years to end of life) rating of 9 years indicates near-term product availability, and the JESD-609 e3 Pb-free classification satisfies EU RoHS 2 and REACH directives without requiring a material declaration waiver, simplifying customs documentation for global distribution channels.
