Description
The STBC08 is a constant current/constant
voltage charger for single cell Li-Ion batteries. No
external sense resistor or blocking diode is
required.
The STBC08 is designed to work within USB
power specifications. An internal block regulates
the current when the junction temperature
increases, in order to protect the device when it
operates in high power or high ambient
temperature conditions.
The charge voltage is fixed at 4.2V, and current
limitation can be programmed using a single
resistor connected between PROG pin and GND.
The charge cycle is automatically terminated
when the current flowing to the battery is 1/10 of
the programmed value. If the external adaptor is
removed, the STBC08 turns off and a 2µA current
can flow from the battery to the device. The
device can be put into Shutdown Mode, reducing
the supply current to 25µA. The device also has a
charge current monitor, under voltage lockout,
automatic recharge. The charge termination and
input voltage presence are indicated by two
separate status pins.
