INTRODUCTION
The SMB136 is a programmable single-cell lithium-ion/lithium-polymer battery charger designed for a variety of portable applications. The device provides a simple and efficient way to charge high-capacity LiIon batteries via a USB or AC power source. Unlike conventional charging devices, the SMB136’s high-efficiency switch-mode operation eliminates the low charge current and thermal problems of conventional linear solutions. Also the switching architecture in conjunction with programmability enables dramatically faster charging – TurboCharge™ mode - from current limited in puts such as USB.
