Product details
Overview
MCP73833T-NVI/UN from Microchip Technology is a stand-alone linear Li-ion/Li-polymer battery charge management controller in a 10-lead DFN-3×3 package. It integrates pass transistor, current sense, and reverse discharge protection; delivers 4.20 V ±0.75% constant-voltage regulation and up to 1 A programmable constant-current charging; and supports preconditioning, thermal regulation, and automatic recharge for USB-powered portable devices.
For engineers reviewing the MCP73833T-NVI/UN datasheet, MCP73833T-NVI/UN pinout, MCP73833T-NVI/UN application, or MCP73833T-NVI/UN equivalent, key selection considerations include its factory-set 4.20 V regulation voltage, DFN-10 thermal performance (θJA = 41°C/W), integrated thermistor monitoring with 50 µA bias, and PG output functionality - all validated for space-constrained, cost-sensitive battery charging designs.
Technical Context
The MCP73833T-NVI/UN implements a constant-current/constant-voltage (CC/CV) charge algorithm with factory-trimmed 4.20 V regulation, thermal foldback limiting, and automatic end-of-charge termination at 5% of programmed IREG. Its internal P-channel MOSFET pass device features 300 mΩ RDS(ON) at VDD = 3.75 V and TJ = 105°C, enabling efficient linear regulation without external switching components.
It incorporates dual status outputs (STAT1/STAT2), a pseudo-open-drain power-good (PG) signal active when VDD > UVLO threshold and VDD > VBAT, and a dedicated THERM input with 50 µA current source for NTC thermistor interfacing - all operating across –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Voltage Regulation | 4.20 V ±0.75% - factory-trimmed reference ensures precise single-cell Li-ion termination without external feedback resistors. |
| Max Charge Current | 1000 mA - set via external PROG resistor (e.g., 1.0 kΩ); enables full-rate charging of 1000–2000 mAh batteries in under 2 hours. |
| Thermal Regulation | Active die-temperature-based current foldback - maintains reliability during high-power operation in compact enclosures. |
| Package Thermal Resistance | θJA = 41°C/W (DFN-10, 4-layer board) - supports sustained 1 A charging without forced airflow or heatsinking. |
| THERM Bias Current | 50 µA ±6% - drives standard 10 kΩ NTC thermistors for accurate battery temperature qualification per JEITA guidelines. |
| UVLO Threshold | VSTART = 3.55 V (typ), VHYS = 100 mV - prevents erratic startup from weak or noisy USB sources and blocks reverse discharge below 3.45 V. |
| Pass Transistor RDS(ON) | 300 mΩ (max) - minimizes dropout voltage and power loss at 1 A, enabling ≥3.75 V input operation with low thermal stress. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 10-lead DFN (3 mm × 3 mm, exposed thermal pad EP connected to VSS).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD (Pins 1,2) | Battery management input supply | Dual-input configuration accepts 3.75–6 V; bypassed with ≥1 µF capacitor to suppress input ripple and enable UVLO hysteresis. |
| STAT1 / STAT2 (Pins 3,4) | Open-drain charge status indicators | Drive LEDs or microcontroller GPIOs; STAT1 = LOW during charge, STAT2 = LOW at EOC - no external pull-ups required for LED use. |
| VSS (Pin 5) | 0 V reference | Common return for battery negative, input supply ground, and EP connection - critical for accurate current sensing and thermal regulation. |
| PROG (Pin 6) | Current regulation set and enable | Resistor-to-VSS sets IREG; floating disables charger and limits reverse discharge to <2 µA - serves as hardware shutdown control. |
| PG (Pin 7) | Power-good indication | Pseudo-open-drain output sinks current only; must be pulled up to VDD - asserts LOW when input is valid and exceeds battery voltage. |
| THERM (Pin 8) | Thermistor interface | 50 µA current source biases NTC; comparator thresholds (1.23 V / 0.25 V) detect overtemp/undertemp - fault halts charging immediately. |
| VBAT (Pins 9,10) | Battery charge control output | Drain of internal P-MOSFET; connects directly to cell positive; requires ≥1 µF ceramic bypass for stability during load transients. |
| EP (Pin 11) | Exposed thermal pad | Internally tied to VSS - must be soldered to PCB ground plane to achieve θJA = 41°C/W and sustain 1 A continuous operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated pass transistor & current sense | Eliminates 3–5 external components (MOSFET, sense resistor, op-amp), reducing BOM count and PCB area by >30% vs discrete solutions. |
| Factory-set 4.20 V regulation | Guarantees JEITA-compliant Li-ion termination without calibration; avoids risk of overvoltage damage from resistor tolerance drift. |
| Preconditioning & automatic recharge | Enables safe recovery of deeply discharged cells (<2.5 V) and extends usable battery life by reinitiating charge when VBAT drops to 94% of VREG. |
| Thermal regulation + shutdown | Dynamic current scaling based on die temperature plus hard cutoff at 150°C provides dual-layer safety for unattended charging applications. |
| System test (LDO) mode | Allows VBAT to regulate at VREG with up to IREG current when THERM > (VDD − 100 mV) - enables battery-less system validation during production test. |

FAQ
What is the factory-set regulation voltage for MCP73833T-NVI/UN?
The MCP73833T-NVI/UN has a factory-trimmed constant-voltage regulation of 4.20 V ±0.75%, optimized for standard single-cell Li-ion batteries. This value is fixed and cannot be adjusted externally - unlike variants such as MCP73833T-2VI/UN (4.35 V) or MCP73833T-3VI/UN (4.40 V). The MCP73833T-NVI/UN achieves this accuracy without external resistive dividers, ensuring consistent termination across temperature and time.
Does MCP73833T-NVI/UN support thermistor-based temperature monitoring?
Yes, the MCP73833T-NVI/UN includes a dedicated THERM pin with a precision 50 µA ±6% current source for biasing standard 10 kΩ NTC thermistors. It compares the resulting voltage against factory-set thresholds (1.23 V upper, 0.25 V lower) and suspends charging immediately upon out-of-range detection. This enables full JEITA-compliant thermal qualification - a feature absent in basic chargers like TP4056 and critical for medical or industrial certifications.
How does the PG (Power Good) output function on MCP73833T-NVI/UN?
The PG output on MCP73833T-NVI/UN is a pseudo-open-drain signal that sinks current only and must be pulled up to VDD. It asserts LOW when VDD exceeds the UVLO start threshold (3.55 V typ) and remains above the battery voltage (VDD > VBAT), indicating valid input power presence. This allows host systems to sequence power-up or disable loads safely - a capability not found in MCP73834 variants (which replace PG with TE) or competing ICs like BQ24075 (no PG output).
What package type and thermal performance does MCP73833T-NVI/UN offer?
The MCP73833T-NVI/UN is supplied in a 10-lead DFN package (3 mm × 3 mm) with an exposed thermal pad (EP) internally connected to VSS. On a standard 4-layer PCB, its junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is 41°C/W - significantly lower than the MSOP-10 variant (113°C/W). This enables sustained 1 A charging without heatsinking or airflow, making it ideal for ultra-thin portable devices where thermal management is constrained.
Can MCP73833T-NVI/UN operate without a battery connected?
Yes, the MCP73833T-NVI/UN supports System Test (LDO) mode: when THERM is driven above (VDD − 100 mV) and no battery is present, it regulates VBAT at the factory-set 4.20 V with current limited to the programmed IREG. This allows powering downstream circuitry during production test or debug without a battery - a feature confirmed in Section 5.1.4.1 of the DS22005B datasheet and distinct from basic chargers lacking LDO functionality.
