_______________Detailed Description
The MAX1640/MAX1641 switch-mode current sources
utilize a hysteretic, current-mode, step-down pulse-
width-modulation (PWM) topology with constant off-
time. Internal comparators control the switching
mechanism. These comparators monitor the current
through a sense resistor (RSENSE) and the voltage at
TERM. When inductor current reaches the current limit
[(VCS+ - VCS-) / RSENSE], the P-channel FET turns off
and the N-channel FET synchronous rectifier turns on.
Inductor energy is delivered to the load as the current
ramps down. This ramp rate depends on RTOFF and
inductor values. When off-time expires, the P-channel
FET turns back on and the N-channel FET turns off.
Two digital inputs, D0 and D1, select between four pos-
sible current levels (Table 1). In pulse-trickle mode, the
part operates for 12.5% of the period set by RTOFF,
resulting in a lower current for pulse-trickle charging.
Figure 1 is the MAX1640/MAX1641 functional diagram.
Figure 2 shows the standard application circuits.
Charge Mode: Programming the
Output Currents
The sense resistor, RSENSE, sets two charging current
levels. Choose between these two levels by holding
D0 high, and toggling D1 either high or low (Table 1).
The fast-charge current level equals VCS / RSENSE
where VCS is the full-scale current-sense voltage of
150mV. Alternatively, calculate this current by VREF /
(13.3RSENSE). The top-off current equals VSET /
(13.3RSENSE). A resistor-divider from REF to GND pro-
grams the voltage at SET (Figure 3).
