INTRODUCTION
The MCP73871 Demo Board with Voltage Proportional Current Control is designed to
demonstrate Microchip's stand-alone linear Li-Ion battery charger with system power
path and load sharing management control solution. The MCP73871 integrates the
required elements to meet design challenges when developing new Li-Ion / Li-Polymer
batteries powered products.
The MCP73871 requires minimum external components to power the system load and
charge single cell Li-Ion batteries independently. When input power is absent or
insufficient, the Li-Ion battery becomes the primary power source and supports the
required system load current. The MCP73871 Demo Board with Voltage Proportional
Current Control feature added is developed to assist engineers in reducing product
design cycle and time by utilizing Microchip’s favorite stand-alone Li-Ion battery
charger and system load sharing management controller.
