Note the following details of the code protection feature on Microchip devices:
•
Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet.
•
Microchip believes that its family of products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the market today, when used in the
intended manner and under normal conditions.
•
There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of these methods, to our
knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the operating specifications contained in Microchip’s Data
Sheets. Most likely, the person doing so is engaged in theft of intellectual property.
•
Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code.
•
Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their code. Code protection does not
mean that we are guaranteeing the product as “unbreakable.”
Code protection is constantly evolving. We at Microchip are committed to continuously improving the code protection features of our
products. Attempts to break Microchip’s code protection feature may be a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If such acts
allow unauthorized access to your software or other copyrighted work, you may have a right to sue for relief under that Act.

2.1
FEATURES
The MCP73855 Evaluation Board has the following features:
• Evaluation of the MCP73855 USB Compatible Li-Ion/Li-Polymer Charge
Management Controller in a 3mm x 3mm, 10-Lead DFN Package
• Simple, stand-alone operation or microcontroller-compatible
• Powered from external bench supply, wall cube or USB port
• Surface-mount design
• Fully assembled and tested
2.2
GETTING STARTED
The MCP73855 Evaluation Board is a fully-functional, assembled and tested, surface-mount board used for evaluation of Microchip’s MCP73855 USB Compatible
Li-Ion/Li-Polymer Charge Management Controller. The following steps provide simple,
stand-alone operation. Refer to Figure 2-1 for the setup configuration diagram. The
setup configuration diagram depicts evaluation of the installed MCP73855 for
single-cell applications.
1. Connect an external bench supply, wall cube or USB port to the surface-mount
test points provided. The input voltage source should be in the range of 4.5V to
5.5V. Refer to Section 2.3.1 “Input Source” for details on the input source
requirements.
Note:
Observe correct polarity of connection. Positive terminal
connects to J2, VIN+; negative terminal connects to J3, VIN-.
2. Connect a single-cell Li-Ion or Li-Polymer battery pack to the circuit for
evaluation.
Note:
Observe correct polarity of connection. Positive terminal connects to J5, VBAT+; negative terminal connects to J6, VBAT-.
3. Turn on the bench supply or plug in the wall cube/USB port.
4. A green LED (D1) provides status during the charge cycle. Refer to the
MCP73853/55 data sheet (DS21915) for details.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The MCP73855 Evaluation Board is set-up to evaluate simple, stand-alone, linear
charging of single-cell Li-Ion/Li-Polymer battery packs. The reference design provides
constant current charging followed by constant voltage charging with automatic charge
termination. As provided, the MCP73855 Evaluation Board is set for fast charge
constant current levels of 85 mA with J4 (PROG) open and 400 mA with J4 (PROG)
connected to J3 (VIN–). The MCP73855 is provided in a 3 mm X 3 mm, 10-lead DFN
package and is equipped with shutdown control, status indicator and safety timer. Refer
to the MCP73853/55 data sheet (DS21915) for details on individual device features.
2.3.1
Input Source
The MCP73855 Evaluation Board is designed to provide a fast charge current up to
400 mA, typically. The input source should provide a voltage in the range of 4.5V to
5.5V. The input source should be capable of providing a minimum of 2.5W.
Charge currents between 85 mA and 400 mA can be obtained by adjusting the value
of the charge programming resistors (R2) and connecting surface-mount test point J4
(PROG) to J3 (VIN–). Refer to the MCP73853/55 data sheet (DS21915) for details on
determining the appropriate programming resistor.
2.3.2
Safety Timer Periods
The MCP73855 Evaluation Board can be used with a variety of battery packs. As
provided, the MCP73855 Evaluation Board is set up to perform well with single-cell,
100 mAh to 500 mAh battery packs. Battery packs with alternative capacities and
various charge currents can be implemented. The safety timer periods may need to be
adjusted in order to ensure a full charge. The safety timer periods can be adjusted by
changing the capacitance of C3. Refer to the MCP73853/55 data sheet (DS21915) for
details on determining the appropriate timer capacitance.
2.3.3
Disable Control
The MCP73855 Evaluation Board is designed to provide stand-alone operation. The
installed MCP73855 device is enabled whenever the input source is present. To
disable charging, a jumper can be placed between J1 (EN) and J3 (VIN–).

MCP73855 Evaluation Board User’s Guide
2.3.4
Battery Headers
Independent battery connections are provided. The battery pack positive terminal
should be connected to J5 (VBAT+). The battery pack’s negative terminal should be
connected to J6 (VBAT –).
Note:
2.3.5
Improper connection of the battery may result in damage to the
battery and the possibility of personal injury. It is also important to
avoid shorting the battery terminals together.
Device Support Options
The MCP73855 Evaluation Board supports the MCP73855 device. The MCP73855
Evaluation Board is provided with one reference design utilizing the MCP73855.
2.3.6
Microcontroller option
Connection points provide easily accessible locations for interface to a host
microcontroller. The host microcontroller can be used to disable the charger, monitor
charge status or terminate a charge.
2.3.7
Output voltage options
The MCP73855 Evaluation Board is provided with a Constant-voltage mode output
voltage of 4.2V. Evaluation with a Constant-voltage mode output voltage of 4.1V can
be achieved by moving resistor R4 to R3, or by shorting the R3 pads.
