Low-current battery-charger circuits are required in hand-held products such as palmtop, pen-based, and fingertip computers. The charging circuitry for these applications must use surface-mount components and consume minimal board space. The LTC1174 circuit shown provides both of these features. The LTC1174 is a current-mode, step-down switching regulator with a low-loss internal P-channel MOSFET power switch. In this circuit, the peak switch current is programmed to 600 mA. The average charging current is determined by the choice of inductor value and the actual battery voltage, according to the equation. The voltage feedback resistor network is set for an output voltage of 7 Y. NiCd cells have a nominal voltage of 1.2 V, a discharged voltage of 0.9 V, and a fully charged voltage of 1.5 V. A four-cell NiCd pack's voltage will range from 3.6 to 6 V, depending upon its state of charge. When it is attached to the charger, it will pull the output voltage below 7 V and place the LTC1174 into current-limited operation at about 300 mA with the 50-μH inductor shown. Diode D2 prevents the batteries from discharging through the divider network when the charger is shut down by bringing the SHUTDOWN pin low. Less than 10 μA of current is drawn from the sup-ply when the charger is shut down.

In this circuit, Q1 is a constant-current source, whose output is controlled by R9. C1 charges linearly, and follower U1-a drives comparator U1-b. When the threshold set by R3 and R6 is reached, U1-b changes state and triggers pulse generator U2, gating on Q2 and discharging C1 through R8.The cycle then repeats. The period is approximately 8 x C1/I1, where I1, is the collector current of Q1, as set by R9 and the base bias on Q1. (View)

Q1is connected in a simple constant-current generator circuit. The value of Q1's emitter resistor sets the constant-current level flowing from the transistor's collector to the charging capacitor (C1).One op amp of an LM324 quad op amp IC, U1-a, is connected in a voltage-follower circuit. The input impedance of the voltage follower is very high and offers little or no load on the charging circuit. Thefollower's output is connected to the input of U1-b, which is configured as a voltage comparator. The comparator's other input is tied to a voltage divider, setting the input level to about 8 V. The output of U1-b at pin 7 switches high when the voltage at its positive input, pin 5, goes above 8 V. That turns on Q2, discharging C1. The sawtooth cycle is repeated over and over as long as power is applied to the circuit. The sawtooth's frequency is determined by the value of C1 and the charging current supplied to that capacitor. As the charging current increases, the frequency also increases, and vice versa. To increase the generator's frequency range, decrease the value of C1, and to lower the frequency, increase the value of Cr. The output is about 3 to 5 V. (View)

An alternative to using expensive 0.25-percent precision resistors is presented in this battery-charger design, which adds two 1-percent resistors and two jumpers to the charger.In constant-voltage-mo de charging, a lithium-ion cell requires 4.1 V ±50 mV. The 1.2-percent requirement represents a tight tolerance. In a regulation loop where a voltage divider is compared against a reference, the accuracy is typically achieved by selecting a 0.7-percent reference and a volt-age divider with 0.25-percent tolerance resistors. Unfortunately, 0.25-percent precision resistors cost three times as much as 1-percent resistors and have very long lead times. One solution for moderate-volume production involves adding two 1-percent resistors and two jumpers to the charger circuit (see the figure). The jumpers are removed as necessary to bring the constant voltage to the required accuracy of 1.2 percent. The charger selected for this example is the LT1510. There are three lithium-ion cells in the. battery. After a value is selected for R4 the values for R1, R2, and R3 can be calculated using the equations given. K is the relative change required for a circuit with all of its tolerances in one direction. For example, in the case of a 0.5-percent reference and two 1-percent resistors, the total tolerance is 2.5 percent. To bring it back to 1.2 percent, the percentage change required is 2.5 percent - 1.2 percent 1.3 percent, and K =0.013. The jumpers (J1 and J2) must be opened based on the following:If VOUT is K/2 below nominal, remove J1.If VOUT is K/2 above nominal, remove J2.The following values were calculated: R1 = 4.99 kΩ, R2 = 324Ω,R 3=80.6 ,Ω and R4= 20 KΩ The voltage below which jumper J1 should be opened is 12.34 V -1.3 percent /2 = 12.22 V. The voltage above which jumper J2 should be opened is 12.34 V + 1.3 percent /2 = 12.42 V. (View)
