Product details
Overview
MCP73213-G6XI/MF from Microchip Technology is a dual-cell Li-Ion/Li-Polymer linear battery charge management controller with integrated pass transistor, current sense, input overvoltage protection (13 V), and thermal regulation. It delivers factory-preset 8.40 V charge voltage, supports 130–1100 mA resistor-programmable fast charge current, and operates across –40°C to +85°C for portable media players and ultra-mobile PCs.
For engineers reviewing the MCP73213-G6XI/MF datasheet, MCP73213-G6XI/MF pinout, MCP73213-G6XI/MF application, or MCP73213-G6XI/MF equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, exact pin functions, real-world use cases, and validated alternative options - all grounded in Microchip's DS20002190D specification and confirmed package mapping to DFN-10 (3 mm × 3 mm) with exposed thermal pad.
Technical Context
The MCP73213-G6XI/MF implements a full CC/CV charge algorithm with factory-set 8.40 V regulation (±0.6% over –5°C to +55°C), 10% preconditioning current ratio, 32-minute precondition timer, and 6-hour elapsed safety timer. Its PROG pin serves dual roles: fast charge current programming via external resistor and enable control via high-impedance shutdown.
Thermal regulation dynamically limits charge current above ~110°C junction temperature, while die-level thermal shutdown activates at 150°C (10°C hysteresis). Input UVLO (4.15 V start, 4.05 V stop) and OVP (13 V threshold, 150 mV hysteresis) ensure robust operation with low-cost wall adapters up to 18 V absolute max.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Charge Voltage | 8.40 V ±0.6% - factory-preset regulation target for dual-cell Li-Ion/Li-Poly, stable across –5°C to +55°C ambient. |
| Fast Charge Current | 130–1100 mA - set by single external resistor (1.0–10 kΩ), enabling precise current tuning without DAC or digital interface. |
| Input OVP Threshold | 13.0 V ±0.2 V - protects against voltage spikes from low-cost AC-DC adapters; hysteresis prevents chatter during transients. |
| UVLO Threshold | 4.15 V start / 4.05 V stop - ensures reliable startup only when input exceeds battery voltage by ≥150 mV. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 150°C ±5°C - secondary safety cutoff with 10°C hysteresis; complements primary thermal regulation active above ~110°C. |
| Package | DFN-10 (3 mm × 3 mm) with exposed thermal pad - enables compact layout and efficient heat dissipation in space-constrained portable designs. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C ambient - fully specified for industrial-grade portable electronics including netbooks and walkie-talkies. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DFN-10 (3 mm × 3 mm) with exposed thermal pad (EP) - requires PCB copper area connection and thermal vias for optimal power dissipation under continuous 1 A charge loads.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD (Pins 1, 2) | Battery management input supply | Accepts 4.2–13 V input; 18 V absolute max; internal UVLO/OVP monitoring; bypass with ≥1 μF capacitor. |
| VBAT (Pins 3, 4) | Battery charge control output | Drain of internal P-MOSFET; connects directly to 2-cell battery positive; bypass with ≥1 μF capacitor for stability. |
| NC (Pins 5, 6) | No connection | Unbonded pins; must remain unconnected on PCB; no routing or pull-up/down required. |
| STAT (Pin 7) | Status output | Open-drain logic output; drives LED or microcontroller; low during charging, high-Z at completion or fault (Type 1). |
| VSS (Pins 8, 9) | 0 V reference | Common ground for battery negative and input supply; must be low-impedance star point for accurate current sensing. |
| PROG (Pin 10) | Current regulation & enable | Resistor-to-VSS sets fast charge current; >200 kΩ impedance forces standby mode; also enables charge control. |
| EP (Pin 11) | Exposed thermal pad | Internally connected to VSS; must be soldered to PCB copper pour with ≥4 thermal vias for thermal performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated pass transistor | 350 mΩ RDS(on) at 105°C - eliminates external MOSFET, reduces BOM count, and simplifies layout for dual-cell applications. |
| Factory preset charge voltage | 8.40 V option - eliminates external voltage-divider resistors; guarantees ±0.6% accuracy over temperature without calibration. |
| Preconditioning & timer | 10% fast charge current + 32-minute timer - safely recovers deeply depleted cells before CC mode, preventing lithium plating. |
| Automatic recharge | 95% VREG threshold - restarts charging when battery self-discharge drops voltage below 8.0 V (for 8.4 V nominal), extending runtime between charges. |
| Input overvoltage protection | 13 V OVP with 150 mV hysteresis - sustains operation with low-cost wall warts and tolerates plug/unplug transients without latch-up or damage. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-cell Li-Ion/Li-Polymer linear charge management applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP73213-A6S/MF | Identical DFN-10 package and pinout; same 8.40 V charge voltage, 13 V OVP, and 10% preconditioning - differs only in factory-set 6-hour elapsed timer vs. G6XI/MF's 8-hour timer. | Preferred where longer safety window is needed before timer fault triggers (e.g., infrequently used backup devices). | Select MCP73213-G6XI/MF when 8-hour elapsed timer aligns with system-level safety requirements and battery capacity profiles. |
| BQ24075RGTR | 3 mm × 3 mm QFN-16 package; 8.4 V charge voltage; no integrated OVP - requires external 13 V OVP circuit; lacks preconditioning timer and automatic recharge options. | Suitable for cost-optimized designs where external protection is already present and simpler feature set suffices. | Choose MCP73213-G6XI/MF when integrated OVP, factory-configured preconditioning, and automatic recharge reduce BOM and validation effort. |
Compared with MCP73213-A6S/MF, the G6XI/MF offers extended 8-hour elapsed safety timing - critical for high-capacity batteries or low-ambient-temperature charging. Versus BQ24075RGTR, it delivers complete protection integration (OVP, UVLO, BSP) and configurable features without external components, reducing total solution size and qualification scope.

FAQ
What is the factory-preset charge voltage for MCP73213-G6XI/MF?
The MCP73213-G6XI/MF is factory configured for 8.40 V constant-voltage regulation, with ±0.6% accuracy over –5°C to +55°C ambient temperature. This matches standard dual-cell Li-Ion/Li-Polymer battery chemistry and eliminates need for external voltage-setting resistors.
Does MCP73213-G6XI/MF include input overvoltage protection?
Yes, MCP73213-G6XI/MF integrates 13 V input overvoltage protection with 150 mV hysteresis. When VDD exceeds 13 V, the device enters shutdown mode and disables charging - protecting itself and the battery from damage due to wall-adapter spikes or plug/unplug transients.
How is fast charge current programmed on MCP73213-G6XI/MF?
Fast charge current on MCP73213-G6XI/MF is set by a single external resistor (RPROG) connected between PROG and VSS. Using Equation 5-1 from DS20002190D, 1.0–10 kΩ yields 130–1100 mA. The PROG pin also serves as enable: >200 kΩ impedance places MCP73213-G6XI/MF in standby mode.
What thermal protection features does MCP73213-G6XI/MF provide?
MCP73213-G6XI/MF provides dual thermal safeguards: primary thermal regulation that progressively reduces charge current above ~110°C junction temperature, and secondary thermal shutdown at 150°C (10°C hysteresis). Both are implemented entirely within the IC - no external sensor or firmware required.
What is the function of the STAT pin on MCP73213-G6XI/MF?
The STAT pin on MCP73213-G6XI/MF is an open-drain status output that drives low during active charging (precondition, fast charge, constant voltage) and goes high-impedance at charge completion or fault. For MCP73213-G6XI/MF, it implements Type 1 output behavior - steady On/Off state, not flashing - simplifying LED or MCU interface design.
