General Description
The DS2710 is ideal for in-system charging of single-cell
nickel metal hydride (NiMH) cells for low-current
portable applications. Inputs to the DS2710 include USB
voltage sources and 5V regulated adapters.
Temperature, voltage, and charge time are monitored to
provide proper fast-charging control algorithms for
single-cell NiMH or nickel cadmium (NiCd) batteries.
The DS2710 includes battery tests to detect defective or
inappropriate cells such as alkaline primary batteries.
Applications
Small Rechargeable Devices
Voice Recorders
Cordless Mouse
