Charging Li-ion Batteries for Maximum Run Times
by Scott Dearborn, Principal Applications Engineer, Microchip Technology, Chandler, Ariz., Power Electronics Technology, Apr 01 2005
Focus:
An introduction to the fundamentals of Li-ion battery charging helps designers a suitable linear or switching battery charging topology for the target application. Battery charging designs based on Microchip's charger ICs and PIC MCU are used as examples.
What you’ll learn:
- How to choose a suitable linear or switch-mode Li-ion battery charging solution for your application
- How to tradeoff Li-ion battery charging parameters such as charge time, battery capacity, power dissipation, efficiency, operating temperature range, design size, and cost
- How to select external components required in example battery charger designs
