The MAX8900_ adjusts the charge current and termina-
tion voltage as described in the JEITA specification for
safe use of secondary Li+ batteries (A Guide to the Safe
Use of Secondary Lithium Ion Batteries in Notebook-type
Personal Computers, April 20, 2007). As shown in Figure
10, there are four temperature thresholds that change
the battery charger operation: T1, T2, T3, and T4. When
the thermistor input exceeds the extreme temperatures
(< T1 or > T4), the charger shuts off and all respective
charging timers are suspended. While the thermistor
remains out of range, no charging occurs, and the timer
counters hold their state. When the thermistor input
comes back into range, the charge timers continue to
count. The middle thresholds (T2 and T3) do not shut
the charger off, but adjust the current/voltage targets
to maximize charging while reducing battery stress.
Between T3 and T4, the voltage target is reduced (see

ever, the charge timers continue to count. Between T1
and T2, the charging current target is reduced to 50%
of its normal operating value; and similarly the charge
timers continue to count.

If the thermistor functionality is not required, connect a
1MI resistor from THM to AVL and another 1MI resis-
tor from THM to GND. This biases the THM node to be
½ of the AVL voltage telling the MAX8900_ that the bat-
tery temperature is between the T2 and T3 temperature
range. Furthermore, the high 2MI impedance presents
a minimal load to AVL.
Table 2 shows that the MAX8900_ is compatible with
several standard thermistor values. When using a 10kI
thermistor with a beta of 3380K, the configuration of
Figure 11A provides for temperature trip thresholds that
are very close to the nominal T1, T2, T3, and T4 (see the
Electrical Characteristics table). When using alternate
resistance and/or beta thermistors, the circuit of Figure
11A may result in temperature trip thresholds that are dif-
ferent from the nominal values. In this case, the circuit of
Figure 11B allows for compensating the thermistor to shift
the temperature trip thresholds back to the nominal value.
In general, smaller values of R
trip thresholds down; however, the lower temperature
thresholds are affected more then the higher temperature
thresholds. Furthermore, larger values of R
the temperature trip thresholds up; however, the higher
temperature thresholds are affected more than the lower
temperature thresholds. For assistance with thermistor
calculations, use the spreadsheet at the following link:
