Product details
Overview
MCP73833T-NVI/MF from Microchip Technology is a stand-alone linear Li-ion/Li-polymer battery charge management controller in a 10-lead DFN-10 (3 mm × 3 mm) package. It delivers constant-current/constant-voltage charging with thermal regulation, 4.20 V ±0.75% voltage regulation, up to 1 A programmable charge current via external resistor, and integrated reverse discharge protection - optimized for USB-powered portable devices including Bluetooth headsets and digital cameras.
For engineers reviewing the MCP73833T-NVI/MF datasheet, MCP73833T-NVI/MF pinout, MCP73833T-NVI/MF application, or MCP73833T-NVI/MF equivalent, key selection considerations include its factory-set 4.20 V regulation, PG output functionality, thermistor-based temperature monitoring, thermal regulation behavior, and DFN-10 thermal performance (θJA = 41°C/W).
Technical Context
The MCP73833T-NVI/MF implements a fully integrated linear charging architecture with an internal P-channel MOSFET pass transistor (RDS(on) = 300 mΩ), precision voltage reference (1.21 V), and dual-stage comparator-based control logic for preconditioning, fast charge, constant voltage, and end-of-charge states. Its thermal regulation dynamically scales charge current above ~105°C to prevent die overheating while maintaining reliability.
It features two open-drain status outputs (STAT1, STAT2), a pseudo-open-drain power-good indicator (PG), and a 50 µA thermistor bias current source with factory-trimmed 1.23 V / 0.25 V thresholds for NTC/PTC monitoring. The device supports system test (LDO) mode when THERM is driven > (VDD − 100 mV) with no battery connected.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Voltage Regulation | 4.20 V ±0.75% - factory-trimmed for single-cell Li-ion compliance; enables safe full-charge termination without external feedback. |
| Max Charge Current | 1000 mA - set by PROG-to-VSS resistor (e.g., 1.0 kΩ); supports high-speed charging of 180–2000 mAh batteries. |
| Thermal Regulation | Active above ~105°C - reduces ICHARGE to maintain junction safety; avoids thermal shutdown during sustained high-power operation. |
| UVLO Threshold | VSTART = 3.55 V (typ), hysteresis = 100 mV - prevents erratic startup near battery voltage; ensures stable enable/disable behavior. |
| Thermistor Bias | 50 µA ±6% - powers standard 10 kΩ NTC thermistors; enables accurate battery temperature qualification across −40°C to +85°C ambient. |
| Package Thermal Resistance | θJA = 41°C/W (DFN-10) - enables higher continuous current vs. MSOP-10 (113°C/W); critical for compact, sealed enclosures. |
| End-of-Charge Detection | ITERM = 5% of IREG (typ) - terminates charge when current drops below threshold; prevents overcharge and extends cycle life. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DFN-10 (3 mm × 3 mm), exposed thermal pad (EP) electrically tied to VSS. Requires solder connection of EP to PCB ground plane for optimal thermal performance and electrical stability.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD (Pins 1, 2) | Battery management input supply | Accepts 3.75–6 V input; powers internal circuitry and gate drive; bypass with ≥1 µF to VSS. |
| STAT1 (Pin 3) | Charge status output | Open-drain; low during active charge, high-Z at EOC; drives LED or microcontroller interrupt. |
| STAT2 (Pin 4) | Charge status output | Open-drain; high-Z during charge, low at EOC; complements STAT1 for dual-state indication. |
| VSS (Pin 5) | 0 V reference | Common return for battery negative, input supply, PROG resistor, and EP; must be low-impedance. |
| PROG (Pin 6) | Current regulation set | Resistor from PROG to VSS sets IREG; floating disables charge and limits reverse discharge to <2 µA. |
| PG (Pin 7) | Power good indicator | Pseudo-open-drain; sinks current when VDD > UVLO and VDD > VBAT; must pull up only to VDD. |
| THERM (Pin 8) | Thermistor input | 50 µA bias source; compares voltage to 1.23 V / 0.25 V thresholds; fault halts charging immediately. |
| VBAT (Pins 9, 10) | Battery charge control output | Drain of internal P-MOSFET; connects to battery positive; bypass with ≥4.7 µF ceramic for >250 mA stability. |
| EP (Pin 11) | Exposed thermal pad | Internally connected to VSS; mandatory PCB thermal land connection for θJA = 41°C/W performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated pass transistor | Eliminates external MOSFET and gate driver; reduces BOM count and layout area in space-constrained USB chargers. |
| Programmable preconditioning | Enables safe recovery of deeply depleted cells (e.g., <2.8 V) using user-selectable % of IREG and VPTH thresholds. |
| Automatic recharge | Reinitiates charge when VBAT drops to 94–96.5% of VREG; maintains battery readiness without host intervention. |
| Low-dropout LDO mode | Provides regulated system power (4.20 V) when battery absent - useful for factory test or battery-less operation. |
| Reverse discharge protection | Blocks battery-to-input leakage (<2 µA) when VDD removed; preserves battery charge during standby or disconnection. |

FAQ
What is the factory-set voltage regulation for MCP73833T-NVI/MF?
The MCP73833T-NVI/MF has a factory-set constant-voltage regulation of 4.20 V ±0.75%, optimized for standard single-cell Li-ion batteries. This value is laser-trimmed during manufacturing and cannot be adjusted externally. It ensures precise full-charge termination without requiring external feedback resistors or calibration - a key differentiator from adjustable-charge-voltage controllers. The MCP73833T-NVI/MF datasheet confirms this specification in Section 1.0 Electrical Characteristics under "Regulated Output Voltage".
Does MCP73833T-NVI/MF support thermistor-based temperature monitoring?
Yes, the MCP73833T-NVI/MF includes a dedicated THERM pin with an internal 50 µA ±6% current source and factory-trimmed comparators (1.23 V upper / 0.25 V lower thresholds) for direct NTC or PTC thermistor interfacing. When out-of-range voltage is detected, charging halts immediately and status outputs reflect fault condition. No external biasing components are required - the MCP73833T-NVI/MF handles full temperature qualification autonomously per Section 5.1.4 of the datasheet.
What is the function of the PG pin on MCP73833T-NVI/MF?
The PG (Power Good) pin on MCP73833T-NVI/MF is a pseudo-open-drain output that sinks current when VDD exceeds the UVLO threshold (≥3.55 V) and remains greater than the battery voltage (VBAT). It signals valid input power presence and is intended for system-level power sequencing or host notification. Unlike true open-drain outputs, PG has an internal diode path to VDD - so it must only be pulled up to VDD, not to another rail. This behavior is documented in Section 3.5 and Table 5-1 of the MCP73833T-NVI/MF datasheet.
Can MCP73833T-NVI/MF operate without a battery connected?
Yes, the MCP73833T-NVI/MF supports System Test (LDO) mode: when THERM is driven above (VDD − 100 mV) and no battery is present at VBAT, the device regulates VBAT to its factory-set voltage (4.20 V) and supplies up to the programmed fast-charge current. This mode enables board-level functional testing, firmware validation, or battery-less system operation. The MCP73833T-NVI/MF exits this mode automatically when THERM is released or input power is cycled - as specified in Section 5.1.4.1.
What package type and thermal performance does MCP73833T-NVI/MF use?
The MCP73833T-NVI/MF uses a 10-lead DFN-10 package (3 mm × 3 mm) with an exposed thermal pad (EP) internally connected to VSS. Its thermal resistance is θJA = 41°C/W on a 4-layer JEDEC-standard board under natural convection - significantly lower than the MSOP-10 variant (113°C/W). This enables higher continuous charge current and improved reliability in thermally constrained layouts. Proper EP soldering to a PCB ground plane is mandatory to achieve this rating, per Package Types section and Thermal Package Resistances table in the datasheet.
