The EMC5755 is a complete linear charger for single cell lithium-ion batteries. With small TDFN-6 package and few external components, EMC5755 is well suited for portable applications. In addition, the EMC5755 is specifically designed to work within USB power specifications. No external sense resistor and blocking diode are required. Charging current can be programmed externally with a single resistor. The built-in thermal regulation facilitates charging with maximum power without risk of overheating. The EMC5755 always preconditions the battery with 1/10 of the programmed charge current at the beginning of a charge cycle, until 40μs after it verifies that the battery can be fast-charged. The EMC5755 automatically terminates the charge cycle when the charge current drops to 1/10th the programmed value after the final float voltage is reached.
