Product Summary

The MAX8903CET is an integrated 1-cell Li+ charger and Smart Power Selector with dual (AC adapter and USB) power inputs. The switch mode charger uses a high switching frequency to eliminate heat and allow tiny external components. It can operate with either separate inputs for USB and AC adapter power, or from a single input that accepts both. The applications of the MAX8903CET include PDAs, Palmtops, and Wireless Handhelds, Personal Navigation Devices, Smart Cell Phones, Portable Multimedia Players, Mobile Internet Devices, Ultra Mobile PCs.
