Fig. 1 Battery Charging Characteristics Resulting
from an AIC1781-Controlled Charger with a
Fluctuating Charging Current
DESCRIPTION
The AIC1781 fast charge controller IC is designed
for intelligent charging of NiMH or NiCd batteries
,
without the risk of overcharge.
∆∆T
0V∆
detection (peak voltage timer)
t
detection are the primary methods
(-0.25%),
and
−∆V
detection
employed by the AIC1781 to terminate fast charge.
The fast charge can also be cut off by maximum
battery voltage and maximum battery temperature
detection along with the safety timer to prevent
charging under fault conditions of the charging
system or the battery itself.
∆∆T
Both
t
and
−∆V
detection methods have
been proved powerful in terminating fast charging
for NiMH and NiCd batteries. The AIC1781 utilizes
the combination of these two methods to achieve
reliable decision of ending fast charge and prevent
misaction caused by using
−∆V
detection alone
under certain conditions. Fig. 1 shows an example
of charging curve of a battery charged by a
fluctuating current from a NiMH battery charger
which uses the AIC1781 controller IC to achieve
optimal charging. This technique, in cooperating
with the
0V∆
detection (peak voltage timer), is
particularly suitable for NiMH batteries, whose
voltage drop is hardly significant yet temperature
rises rapidly. The
t
or
−∆V
detection
∆∆T
circuitry may be disabled independently for
different applications, such as system-integrated
chargers, chargers with varying charge current, or
battery packs lack of temperature sensing
thermistor.
The safety timer period, mode of battery
temperature protection, battery voltage protection
range, pulsed trickle charge duty, and LED display
mode are all adjustable or selectable. Dischargebefore-charge function is included to get rid of
memory effect of NiCd batteries without the risk of
overdischarging. Test mode is provided for charger
manufactures to dramatically reduce production
test time.
