The MCP73831/2 devices are advanced linear charge management controllers designed for space-limited and cost-sensitive applications. Available in compact packages, they require minimal external components, making them ideal for portable devices. These controllers employ a constant-current/constant-voltage charge algorithm with selectable preconditioning and charge termination, offering flexibility for various battery charging requirements. Thermal regulation optimizes charge cycle time while maintaining device reliability. They are fully specified for operation across a wide temperature range (-40°C to +85°C).
