MP2636 Power Booster Charger Module

In numerous applications, lithium batteries are widely used as power solutions. In such cases, power boosting and battery charging are two crucial aspects for the system. Traditionally, the power boost and battery charge circuits are separate, making the circuit construction cumbersome. The Monolithic Power Systems (MPS) MP2636 is a highly - integrated, flexible switch - mode battery charger with system power path management. It's designed for single - cell Li - ion or Li - Polymer batteries in a wide variety of portable applications. It's incredibly easy to use. Just plug in a lipo battery, and it functions like a power bank. When an external power supply is connected via VIN, it automatically charges the battery, and the CHG led lights up. When there's no external power and only a battery on the battery port, the Boost mode activates. SPECIFICATIONS: - Charge mode input voltage (VIN): 4.5 - 6.0V - Boost mode output voltage (VOUT): 5V - Suitable for battery voltage: 4.2V (3.7V lithium battery fully charged to 4.2V) - Charge mode Maximum charge current: 2.5A - Boost mode Maximum output current: 2.5A - Switching frequency: 600KHz - Charging mode efficiency: > 90% - Boost mode efficiency: > 90% - Supports battery overcharge protection - Temperature protection: Automatic power failure above 150 °C - Size: 35 * 30mm/ 1.38 * 1.18 inches - Weight: 12g DOCUMENTS: Schematic Datasheet SHIPPING LIST: MP2636 Power Booster & Charger Module x1

Using the MP2636 Power Booster and Charger Module is a breeze. First, find a lipo battery and plug it into the module. It'll start working like a power bank right away. When you want to charge the battery, connect an external power supply to the VIN port. You'll see the CHG led light up, indicating that the charging process has begun. If there's no external power, the module will switch to Boost mode and use the battery power. Here are some important things to keep in mind. Make sure the input voltage in charge mode is between 4.5V and 6.0V, and the output voltage in Boost mode is 5V. Also, this module is suitable for batteries with a voltage of 4.2V. Don't exceed the maximum charge current of 2.5A in charge mode and the maximum output current of 2.5A in Boost mode. For maintenance, keep an eye on the temperature. If the temperature goes above 150 °C, the module will automatically cut off the power to protect itself. Just let it cool down and it should be ready to use again. That's all you need to know to get the most out of your MP2636 module.
