MAX1906SEGE

Overview

The MAX1906SEGE is a lithium-ion and lithium polymer battery pack protector designed for 2 to 4 cell configurations. It provides comprehensive protection against overvoltage, undervoltage, overcurrent, and short-circuit conditions. The device integrates a fuse driver that activates an external three-terminal fuse during fault events to ensure safety. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2V to 36V and supports single-cell monitoring with high accuracy. The component is housed in a VQFN-16 package suitable for surface-mount applications.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a fuse driver mechanism to activate external fuses during critical fault conditions
• Provides multi-layer protection including overvoltage, undervoltage, and overcurrent detection
• Supports monitoring of 2 to 4 series cells in lithium-ion and lithium-polymer battery packs

Applications

• Lithium-ion battery pack protection systems
• Lithium-polymer battery management circuits
• Portable electronic devices requiring multi-cell battery safety

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'SEGE' corresponds to the VQFN-16 package and tape-and-reel configuration. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation. Ensure compatibility with external fuse ratings and cell count requirements before integration into the design.

Selection Notes
