Description
The SC1766 fast charge controller IC is designed for intelligent charging of NiMH or NiCd batteries without overcharging.
It detects a voltage drop (-∆V) occurring in the final stage of a fast charging cycle and correspondingly controls the charging current.
Features
- Reliable fast charge control of NiMH/NiCd.
- batteries Fast charge termination by: 1 Accurate -∆V detection level -0.25% with respect to peak value 2 Peak voltage timer (0∆V) Adjustable fast charge safety timer Protection against temperature fault Protection against short-circuited and open batteries Wide operation voltage range of 9V to 18V, no extra regulator needed Large battery voltage detection range of 0.65V to 3.7V LED drivers to indicate charge status or fault conditions.
