The circuit in Figure 1 can solve this problem by providing a constant 300-mV drop between VIN and VOUT at currents as high as 3A. The accuracy of the 300-mV drop is nearly as good as the accuracy of the input voltage, which in this case is approximately 1%.....

When a discharged gel cell is connected, the charger goes into a fast charge mode at a fixed rate of 400 ma. After the chip detects the voltage leveling off or when 4 1/2 hours has elapsed. (which ever happens first.) the fast charge will stop. After the....

Here`s how to make a good charger for a sealed lead-acid battery (this will NOT work with NiCad batteries) that`s faster (because it allows more current into the battery initially) and safer (because it uses lower voltage when the charging is finished). The....

This simple charger uses a single transistor as a constant current source. The voltage across
the pair of 1N4148 diodes biases the base of the BD140 medium power transistor. The base-
emitter voltage of the transistor and the forward voltage drop across....

The driver circuit (see the complete schematic) has 4 main sections:
* the voltage definition,
* the integrator,
* the current booster, and
* the foldover. The schematic is drawn so that higher voltages are toward the top and lower....

Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries are rapidly becoming
the battery of choice for many battery-powered products.
These products include notebook computers, PDAs, video
camcorders, digital cameras, cellular phones, portable
test equipment and others.....

Li-Ion batteries are normally charged with a current
limited constant voltage for a fixed length of time. At the
end of this time period, the voltage must be removed to
prevent internal chemistry changes in the battery. At a
minimum, a timer is needed to....

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....
