USB charger detector

6 March 2013 Power Electronics / Power Management

Maxim’s MAX14656 is a USB charger detector compliant with USB Battery Charging Specification Revision 1.2.

The USB charger detection circuitry detects USB standard downstream ports (SDPs), USB charging downstream ports (CDPs) or dedicated charger ports (DCPs), and controls an external lithium-ion (Li+) battery charger.

The device also includes Apple charger detection that allows identification of resistor divider networks on D+/D-.

The internal double-pole double-throw (DPDT) USB switch is compliant to Hi-Speed USB, full-speed USB, low-speed USB and UART signals. The device’s internal switch features low on-resistance, low on-resistance flatness and very low capacitance.

The IC features ESD protection up to ±15 kV Human Body Model (HBM) on CD+, CD-, and ID pins. It is available in a 16-bump, 0,4 mm pitch, 1,8 x 1,9 mm WLP package and operates over the -40°C to


+85°C extended temperature range.
