The MCP7386X series of devices are advanced linear charge management controllers for space-saving and cost-sensitive applications. The MCP73861 and MCP73862 integrate many functions into a 16-pin 4 x 4 QFN package, including high-precision constant voltage, constant current regulation , battery pre-charge, battery temperature monitoring, advanced safety timer, automatic charge termination, internal current detection, reverse blocking protection, and charging status and fault indication. The MCP7386X provides a complete, fully functional standalone charge management solution that requires very few external components. The MCP73861 is suitable for applications , while the MCP73862 is suitable for dual-cell lithium-ion or lithium-polymer battery applications. The MCP73861 has two optional voltage regulation options (4.1V and 4.2V) for batteries with carbon anodes or graphite anodes and operates over an input voltage range of 4.5V to 12V. The MCP73862 also has two selectable voltage regulation options (8.2V and 8.4V) for use with batteries with either carbon or graphite anodes, and operates over an input voltage range of 8.7V to 12V. The MCP7386X family of devices operates over an ambient temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.
