CV/CC charger circuit diagram designed using LinKSwitch
The described circuit is a compact and efficient solution for low-power charging applications. The LinKSwitch family IC serves as the core component, effectively managing the power conversion process while ensuring that the output remains stable under varying load conditions. The design utilizes a full-wave rectifier configuration with diodes D1 through D4, which converts the incoming AC voltage to a pulsating DC voltage. This rectified voltage is then smoothed out by the bulk capacitors C1 and C2, which serve to minimize voltage ripples and provide a stable DC output.
The inclusion of inductor L1 in conjunction with capacitors C1 and C2 forms a pi filter that is critical for reducing electromagnetic interference (EMI). This feature is particularly important in applications where sensitive electronic devices are present, as it helps to maintain compliance with EMI regulations and ensures reliable operation without interference.
The LinkSwitch-II IC, designated as U1 in the schematic, is a highly integrated solution that simplifies the design process. It combines several essential functions, including power switching, oscillation, and control, into a single package. This integration not only reduces the overall component count but also enhances the reliability of the circuit. The built-in 700V MOSFET provides adequate voltage headroom, allowing the charger to operate effectively across a wide range of input voltages, making it suitable for global applications.
