The alternative design in Figure 1, which is based on a switching-inductive current pump, is much simpler and easier to build because it uses common discrete devices. Also, the primary design goal of a switching voltage regulator is to keep the constant output voltage under the different load conditions, but a current pump is designed to maintain constant load current under varying terminal voltages.The design in Figure 1 combines a switching current pump with a temperature-monitoring design formerly proposed in Kerry Lacanette`s Design Idea, "Temperature sensor doesn`t discharge battery" (EDN, Aug 1, 1996, pg 106).

Simple Lead Acid Battery Charger

The above pictured schematic diagram is just a standard constant current model with a added current limiter, consisting of Q1, R1, and R4. The moment too much current is flowing biases Q1 and drops the output voltage. The output voltage is: 1.2 x (P1+R2+R3)/R3 volt. Current limiting kicks in when...



Automatic Charger with CD4541

The circuit is capable of supplying either a trickle (50 mA) or high-current (1-A) charge. You can select either charging method or an automatic mode that will first trickle charge a battery if it is particularly low before switching to high-current charging.



Battery charger indicates rate of charge

A single LED indicates whether the battery charger in Fig 1 is delivering a trickle charge or a fast charge. During fast charges, the LED stays lit continuously because IC2`s FASTCH output sinks dc. During trickle charges, the LED flashes because D1 and Q1 enable the 555 timer. The timer is an...



4-Cell Ni-Cad Regulator/Charger

The new LTC1155 Dual Power MOSFET Driver delivers 12V of gate drive to two N-channel power MOSFETs when powered from a 5V supply with no external components required. This ability, coupled with its micropower current demands and protection features, makes it an excellent choice for high side...



Charger for 12V lead acid battery

A battery is a vital element of any battery-backed system. In many cases the battery is more expensive than the system it is backing up. Hence we need to adopt all practical measures to conserve battery life. As per manufacturer's data sheets, a 12V rechargeable lead-acid battery should be...



high-frequency battery-charger

The waveforms in Figure 1 illustrate good and bad power-factor conditions. Trace A, at the top of the figure, is the voltage common to the current waveforms below. Trace B is an ideal current, in phase, with a 1.0 power factor and delivering peak current of 7.07A.



fixed Current Battery Charger

A simple method of charging a battery from a higher voltage battery is shown in the circuit below to the left. Only one resistor is needed to set the desired charging current and is calculated by dividing the difference in battery voltages by the charge current. So, for example if 4 high capacity...



Battery Charger & DC/DC Converter

The LTC1980 manages both battery charging and generaton of the regulated system bus voltage via a unique bidirectional pulse-width modulator design (Figure 3). When the wall adapter is present, power passes directly to the system load DC/DC converters and to a pulse widthmodulated battery...
