Note: Permanent device damage may occur if Absolute Maximum Ratings are exceeded. Functional operation should be limited to the Recommended DC Operating Conditions detailed in this data sheet. Exposure to conditions beyond the operational limits for extended periods of time may affect device reliability.
The bq24400 is a programmable, monolithic IC for fast-charge management of nickel cadmium (NiCd) and nickel metal-hydride (NiMH) batteries.
The bq24400 provides a number of charge termination criteria:
·Peak voltage, PVD (for NiCd and NiMH)
·Maximum temperature
·Maximum charge time
For safety, the bq24400 inhibits fast charge until the battery voltage and temperature are within user-defined limits. If the battery voltage is below the low-voltage threshold, the bq24400 uses trickle-charge to condition the battery. For NiMH batteries, the bq24400 provides an optional top-off charge to maximize the battery capacity.
The integrated high-frequency comparator allows the bq24400 to be the basis for a complete, high-efficiency power-conversion circuit.
