Description:
|
This application note will describe a typical intelligent
battery charger power system application. As with most
real life applications, there are many demands made
on the power system designer to protect the system in
the case of battery removal, plugging the battery in
backwards, reverse polarity at the input, a battery
shorting and even more unimaginable situations. A
complete battery charger, fuel gauge system design
will be presented as an example of the mixed signal
design method. Battery reference material and basic
switchmode power supply converter trade-offs are
covered in the beginning of this application note.
