MAX6787TA+

Overview

The MAX6787TA+ is a low-power battery monitor IC from Analog Devices, designed for multi-chemistry applications. It features high accuracy with 1% precision for voltage level detection. The device supports dual, triple, or quad-level monitoring configurations to suit various battery management needs. It operates within a wide temperature range and is housed in an 8-TDFN-EP package measuring 3x3 mm. This component integrates essential functions for reliable battery status indication in portable electronics.

Feature Summary

• Supports multi-chemistry battery types including Li-ion, NiMH, and alkaline
• Provides 1% accurate voltage level detection for precise state-of-charge estimation
• Configurable for dual, triple, or quad output levels
• Low-power operation suitable for battery-powered devices

Applications

• Portable consumer electronics battery management
• Medical device power monitoring
• Industrial handheld equipment
• IoT sensor nodes requiring long battery life

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix TA+ against the official datasheet to confirm pinout and thermal pad configuration. Ensure compatibility with your PCB footprint, as the TDFN-EP package requires proper soldering techniques for the exposed pad. Check for end-of-life status or alternative recommendations from Analog Devices before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high accuracy and low quiescent current are critical for battery longevity. Consider the MAX6787TA+ for designs requiring flexible output configurations without external resistors. Evaluate thermal performance requirements given the small TDFN package size. Compare against single-channel monitors if multiple voltage thresholds are needed.

Part Context

Part of the MAX6787 family of battery monitors, offering scalable solutions for different complexity levels. The TA+ variant specifies the tape-and-reel packaging option within the TDFN form factor. It complements other Maxim Integrated PMICs by providing simple, accurate battery status reporting without complex communication interfaces.

Replacement Considerations

Check Analog Devices documentation for direct replacements such as the MAX6787TEA+ or MAX6787TUA+. Verify pin compatibility and electrical specifications before substitution. Note that older revisions may have different marking codes or minor parameter variations.
