Overview

The MCP73832T-2ATI/OT is a highly integrated, linear charge management controller designed for single-cell Li-Ion and Li-Polymer batteries. This SOT-23-5 device operates from a 3.75V to 6V input range and handles the constant-current/constant-voltage (CC/CV) charging profile with a programmable current up to 500mA.

Why Choose This Part

It features a tiny SOT-23-5 package that requires only two external capacitors and one resistor to set the charge current. The device includes a status output pin (STAT) for LED or MCU signaling and integrates an on-chip thermal regulator to reduce charge current under high-temperature conditions.

Applications

Wearable Electronics
Ideal for Bluetooth headsets and fitness trackers due to the small SOT-23 footprint and low external component count.
USB-Powered Devices
Perfect for charging from a standard USB port using the programmable charge current to stay within bus power limits.
Portable Medical Devices
Provides a reliable 4.2V regulated output for medical sensors and handheld diagnostic tools.
Digital Cameras
Efficiently manages internal battery charging for compact consumer electronics.

Getting Started

To implement this charger, connect the PROG pin to ground through a resistor to set the desired charge current (Ireg = 1000V / Rprog). Ensure a 4.7uF minimum ceramic capacitor is placed on both the VDD and VBAT pins for stability.
