ICS1708 Datasheet (ETC) - QuickSaver Charge Control IC for Nickel-Cadmium and Nickel-Metal Hydride Batteries

ICS1708, QuickSaver Charge Control IC for Nickel-Cadmium and Nickel-Metal Hydride Batteries

The ICS1708 is a low cost 8 pin CMOS control IC for the intelligent charging of either nickel-cadmium (NiCd) or nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries.

The ICS1708 uses a pulsed-current charging technique together with multiple voltage slope termination methods.

The ICS1708 employs a four stage charg
