UMW Youtai Semiconductor TP4054

The TP4054 is specifically designed for charging lithium-ion batteries through a constant current/constant voltage (CC/CV) method. It simplifies the battery charging process and includes several important features to ensure safety and efficiency in charging. Functions - Constant Current (CC) Charging: The device provides a constant charging current to the battery until the battery voltage reaches its set threshold. - Constant Voltage (CV) Charging: Once the battery reaches the set voltage, the TP4054 reduces current to maintain that voltage, preventing overcharging. - Battery Voltage Detection: It automatically reduces the charging current when the input voltage falls below the battery voltage. - Temperature Protection: The IC can integrate with temperature sensing to prevent charge under unsafe conditions. - Automatic End of Charge: The charging process ends automatically when the operation reaches 100% when there’s no further current flowing. - Thermal Regulation: The TP4054 can adjust the charge current if it becomes too hot, thus protecting the circuit. Applications - Smartphones: Used widely for charging the lithium batteries in mobile phones. - Tablets: Ideal for charging the batteries in tablet devices. - Wearable Devices: Commonly used in smartwatches and fitness bands. - Portable Battery Packs: For charging portable power banks. - Consumer Electronics: Integrated into various consumer devices that require efficient battery management. Alternative Parts - MCP73831/MCP73832: Microchip's linear battery charger for single-cell applications. - BQ24075: Texas Instruments' battery management device with integrated power path management. - TP4056: A similar but more versatile version of charging with additional features. - MAX1555/MAX1554: Maxim Integrated’s battery charger ICs designed for portable applications. Embedded Modules The TP4054 can be found in various modules, typically referred to as "TP4054 Charger Module." These modules include: - Module with USB Input: Allows simple connection and charging from USB sources. - Voltage and Current LED Indicators: Show charging status and provide visual feedback during operation. - Adjustable Resistor for Current Setting: Some modules allow users to adjust charging current via a resistor.
