Evaluation board for the MP2759, a highly integrated switching charger designed for portable devices with 1-cell to 6-cell series Li-ion or Li-polymer battery packs. It can achieve up to 3A of charge current and supports a variety of battery chemistry types with different full battery voltages. The MP2759 can operate from a maximum 36V DC input voltage. When an input power supply is present, the MP2759 charges the battery with four phases: trickle charge, pre-charge, constant current (CC) charge or constant voltage (CV) charge. To guarantee safe operation, the MP2759 has robust protection functions, such as battery overvoltage protection (OVP), battery temperature sensing and protection, thermal shutdown and a charging safety timer. Typical applications include industrial medical equipment, power tools, robot and portable vacuum cleaners, wireless speakers.
