The EV2659-Q-03A is an evaluation board for the MP2659, a highly integrated switching charger designed for portable devices with 3-cell to 6-cell series Li-ion or Li-polymer battery packs. It can achieve up to 3A of charge current, and supports a variety of battery chemistry types with different full battery voltages.

The MP2659 can operate under a maximum 36V DC input voltage and absolute maximum voltage up to 45V. When an input power supply is present, the MP2659 charges the battery with three phases: pre-charge, constant current charge, and constant voltage charge.

To guarantee safe operation, the MP2659 has robust protection features, such as battery short-circuit protection (SCP), battery over-voltage protection (OVP), battery temperature sensing and protection, thermal shutdown, and charging safety timer.
