Part Details for MAX17761ATC+T by Maxim Integrated Products

Maxim provides a recommended PCB layout in the MAX17761 evaluation kit documentation, which includes guidelines for component placement, routing, and thermal management. Following these guidelines can help ensure optimal performance and minimize noise and thermal issues.

The MAX17761ATC+T is a highly configurable device, and the configuration depends on the specific battery chemistry and capacity. Maxim provides a battery configuration guide that helps engineers determine the optimal configuration for their specific application. Additionally, the MAX17761 evaluation kit software can be used to configure the device and monitor its performance.

The MAX17761ATC+T can support up to 4A of charging current, but the actual maximum current depends on the specific application and the thermal management of the system. Engineers should ensure that the device is properly heatsinked and that the system is designed to handle the maximum charging current.

The MAX17761ATC+T has built-in over-voltage and under-voltage protection circuits that detect and respond to abnormal voltage conditions. The device can be configured to trigger an interrupt or shut down the charging circuit in response to over-voltage or under-voltage events.

Yes, the MAX17761ATC+T can be used in a multi-cell battery configuration. The device can be configured to monitor and control each cell individually, and it provides a separate charge and discharge path for each cell. However, engineers should ensure that the device is properly configured and that the system is designed to handle the complexities of multi-cell battery management.
