The MCP73830 is designed to operate in conjunction
with a host microcontroller or in stand-alone applica-
tions. The MCP73830/L provides the preferred charge

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 Preconditioning
mode to Constant Current mode. 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.

Selection of the external components in
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 Li-Ion/Li-Poly cells
is below the 1C rate, with an absolute maximum current
at the 2C rate. The recommended fast charge
current should be obtained from the battery
manufacturer. For example, a 500 mAh battery pack
with 0.7C preferred fast charge current has a charge
current of 350 mA. Charging at this rate provides the
shortest charge cycle times without degradation to the
battery pack performance or life.
6.1.1.2
The worst-case power dissipation in the battery char-
ger occurs when the input voltage is at the maximum
and the device has transitioned from Preconditioning
mode to constant current mode. In this case, the power
dissipation is:
