CHANDLER, Ariz., Sept. 27, 2016 — A new Digitally Enhanced Power Analog (DEPA) controller designed to regulate current, regulate voltage and monitor temperature is now available from Microchip Technology Inc. (NASDAQ: MCHP), a leading provider of microcontroller, mixed-signal, analog and Flash-IP solutions. The device improves digital support for battery charging and is ideal for DC-DC conversion in server, consumer, industrial and automotive applications.
The MCP19124/5 handles configurable charging algorithms for any chemistry, with capabilities for cell balancing and super capacitor charging. No other single-chip battery charging solution can be configured with any desired charging profile, for any battery chemistry, voltage or cell arrangement. Users may develop their own unique charging methods and implement them as well. Any voltage, current, temperature or duration can be used to trigger a transition to a new portion of the charge profile. These devices are also well suited for any DC-DC application requiring tight voltage or current regulation; capable of supporting flyback, boost, SEPIC, or Cuk topologies.
Benefits of the MCP19124/5 include:
“Smarter, more capable battery charging solutions have become vitally important for our customers,” said Keith Pazul, director of marketing for Microchip’s Analog, Power, and Interface Division. “Customers have been asking for the ability to run their own proprietary battery charging profiles in compact, customizable charge circuits, and now they can. This is the most flexible, most capable single-chip charging solution on the market today.”
