ON Semiconductor MC33340/MC33342 Battery Fast Charge Controller Datasheet
The MC33340 and MC33342 are monolithic fast‑charge controller ICs designed for Nickel‑Cadmium and Nickel‑Metal‑Hydride batteries. They use negative‑slope voltage detection to terminate charging and provide programmable time or temperature limits as backup termination methods. The MC33340 differs from the MC33342 only in its fast‑charge holdoff time (177 s vs 708 s).
The document includes maximum ratings, electrical characteristics, pin descriptions, package dimensions for PDIP‑8 and SO‑8 versions, and detailed operating descriptions such as the negative‑slope voltage detector, backup timer, and over/under‑temperature protection.
