connectivity with iOS and Android apps that enable the
device to communicate with the connected smartphone
and subsequently make use of its display to show
information concerning the battery health and the
charging process (charging time, battery life, number
of charging cycles completed, etc.). The device works
with the proprietary charging protocols (such as Fast
Charge and Qualcomm® Quick Charge™) now being
utilized by smartphone manufacturers to accelerate the
charging period. To ensure operational longevity, over-
current, over-voltage, and redundant battery protection
mechanisms are all included, as well as a thermistor
for monitoring of temperature levels. The LC709501F
supports an operational temperature range of -40 °C to
+85 °C.
“With a growing need for on-the-go recharging of
portable electronics, power banks are certain to become
more prevalent over the coming years,” states Matthew
Tyler, Director Strategy and Product Roadmap Definition
of the Digital and DC/DC Division at ON Semiconductor.
“Accurate and reliable charge capacity indication and
the ability to support the latest quick charging standards
are becoming more critical, especially as power
bank capacities have grown over time. The level of
sophistication that power banks possess is destined to
increase, so that batteries can be replenished as quickly
as possible and inconvenience is minimized. The
new, best-in-class LC709501F charger will enable the
creation of compact, highly efficient, feature-rich power
banks that will simplify and accelerate time-to-market
of next generation power bank solutions. Its breadth of
functionality will enhance the user experience and mean
that high degrees of safety are maintained.”
Packaging and Pricing The LC709501F is offered in a
QFN-52 (6 x 6 mm) package and priced at $2.80 per unit
in 10,000 unit quantities.
