Advanced Thermal Monitoring Circuit
If the advanced thermal monitoring circuit of the ISL6291 detects an internal temperature of 100ºC, it automatically throttles back the charge current to eliminate the risk of overheating. The gain for the current-foldback is 40mA/ºC (or 0.4µA/ºC for the reference current IR) after the internal temperature reaches 100ºC, which means the charge current of a charger set at 1A is reduced to zero when the internal temperature reaches 125ºC. This unique current-foldback system stabilizes the internal temperature between 100ºC and 125ºC under most operating conditions.

  Features
2.0A maximum charge rates allows fast charging of today’s larger capacity cells which can exceed 2000mA.
Thermal regulation eliminates need to design for worst case thermals and reduces risk of damage caused by using incompatible adapters.
Increased integration reduces external component count and simplifies design.
4.3V ~ 13V max rating allows for use of loosely regulated, low-cost wall adapters and USB input power sources.
Super low 33°C/W thermal resistance accelerates charging without thermal buildup.
