Due to the low efficiency of linear charging, the most
important factors are thermal design and cost, which
are a direct function of the input voltage, output current
and thermal impedance between the battery charger
and the ambient cooling air. The worst-case situation is
when the device has transitioned from the precondi-
tioning phase to the constant current phase. In this
situation, the battery charger has to dissipate the
maximum power. A trade-off must be made between
the charge current, cost and thermal requirements of
the charger.
6.1.1
Selection of the external components in Figure 6-1 is
crucial to the integrity and reliability of the charging
system. The following discussion is intended as a guide
for the component selection process.
6.1.1.1
The preferred fast charge current for Lithium-Ion cells
is at the 1C rate, with an absolute maximum current at
the 2C rate. For example, a 500 mAh battery pack has
a preferred fast charge current of 500 mA. Charging at
this rate provides the shortest charge cycle times with-
out degradation to the battery pack performance or life.

1200 mA is the maximum charge current obtainable
from the MCP7386X. For this situation, the PROG input
should be connected directly to V
6.1.1.2
The worst-case power dissipation in the battery
charger occurs when the input voltage is at the
maximum and the device has transitioned from the
preconditioning phase to the constant current phase. In
this case, the power dissipation is:
