General Description
The LM3647 is a charge controller for Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion), Nickel-Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) and Nickel-Cadmium (Ni-Cd) batteries. The device can use either a pulsed-current charging or a constant-current charging technique. The device can also be configured to discharge before charging. Throughout the charging sequence the LM3647 monitors voltage and/or temperature and time in order to terminate charging.
Charge termination methods are:
- Negative delta voltage (-[Delta]V)
- Optional: Delta temperature/delta time ([Delta]T/[Delta]t)
- Backup: Maximum temperature
- Backup: Maximum time
- Backup: Maximum voltage
If both voltage and temperature fail to trigger the termination requirements, then the maximum time (configured by external hardware) steps in which terminates the charging.
In Ni-Cd/Ni-MH mode, four different charging stages are used:
- Soft-start charge
- Fast charge
- Topping charge
- Maintenance charge
In Li-Ion mode, four different charging stages are used:
- Qualification
- Fast Charge Phase 1, Constant Current
- Fast Charge Phase 2, Constant Voltage
- Maintenance charge
The charge current of the LM3647 is configured via external resistors, which in turn controls the duty cycle of the PWM switching control output. For cost-sensitive applications, the LM3647 charge controller cab be configured to use an external current source and no temperature sensor.
When using an external current source, the current is controlled by the LM3647 which turns the current source on and off. The LM3647 automatically detects the presence of a battery and starts the charging procedure when the battery is installed. Whenever an error occurs (e.g., short circuit, temperature too high, temperature too low, bad battery, charge time over, etc.) the LM3647 will stay in error mode until the battery is removed or it gets within the allowed charging temperature range. The LM3647 is available in a standard 20-lead SOIC surface mount package.
