Li-Ion Linear Charger


Posted on Jan 6, 2013

Linear battery chargers are typically smaller, simpler and less expensive than their switcher-based counter parts, but they have one major disadvantage: excessive power dissipation when the input voltage is high and the battery voltage is low (discharged battery).



Typically, such conditions are temporaryas the batterys voltage rises with its chargebut one must consider this worst-case situation when determining the maximum allowable values for charge current and IC temperature. One simpl
