Maxim's MAX14676/76A Wearable Charge Management Solution ICs are battery-charge management solutions that are ideal for low-power wearable applications. These devices include a linear battery-charger with a Smart Power Selector&8482;, ModelGauge&8482; fuel gauge, and several power-optimized peripherals. They feature an ultra-low-power buck regulator with a quiescent current of 900nA (typical) and 74% efficiency with 10A output. The battery charger features Smart Power Selector operation, allowing operation with dead battery. It limits input current based on a register setting. If the charger power source is unable to supply the entire system load, the smart power control circuit will supplement the system load with current from the battery. The MAX14676/76A embeds a Maxim proprietary ModelGauge fuel gauge to provide an accurate estimate of the available capacity for rechargeable lithium batteries.
