General
The LCH–2 cigarette lighter charger is used for charging the battery of the
handportable phone from the 12 or 24 V cigarette lighter socket of a motor vehicle. The charger is provided with LED charging indication.
Technical Summary
Cigarette Lighter Charger LCH–2
States of Charge and Charge Control
The LCH–2 cigarette lighter charger is used for charging a handportable phone
from a car battery. A constant–current or constant–voltage output is provided
depending on the operating state of the phone.
Charge current is supplied through a series switch transistor located in the
phone. When the transistor is on the charger supplies a constant current to the
phone. The phone is then in the rapid charge mode.
When the transistor is off no current is supplied to the phone and the charger is
in the constant–voltage mode.
Once fully charged in the rapid charge mode, the battery is kept full by means
of pulsed charging. Current is switched on and off at a variable duty cycle and a
frequency of a few Hz.
Charge Indication
Charger states are indicated with a dual–colour LED located in the cigarette
lighter charger unit.
In addition, the phone LCD contains a three–bar battery status display, operative when power for the phone is on.
”Charging sequence active” (state A) is indicated by the bars being lit sequentially, starting from the bottom one.
”Battery full” (state B) is indicated by all three bars steadily lit.

Calling state green/ state A
*) Battery capacity is maintained during a phone call by occasional rapid charge
cycles. Consequently, the LED can be indicating either red or green.

Functional Description
General
The charger module consists of a switched–mode converter and a bicolour indicator LED. The converter is of the step up/down type, i.e. the output voltage
can be lower or higher than the input voltage.
Converter
Converter input current is received via filter capacitor C101. The converter consists of coils L110, L112, FET switch V112, d.c. level shifting capacitor C111
and Schottky diode V113. Output energy is stored and filtered by C112, L111
and C113.
In series with converter coil L112 is resistor R116, used for measuring the output current. When operating, the converter generates a negative voltage drop
(as compared to ground level) at R116, directly proportional to output current.
Converter control is by N110, a quad comparator with open–collector output.
The 5 V reference supply is generated by regulator N100.
