Li Ion Polymer Battery Charger Using LTC4098

Using the LTC4098 USB Power-Path controller you can design an high efficiency , full-featured Li-Ion Polymer battery charger using few external electronic components . This Li-Ion Polymer battery charger circuit can be used with many power distribution sources like: USB, wall adapter, automotive, Firewire or other high voltage DC/DC converters, and a Li-Ion/Polymer battery.

Li-Ion Polymer Battery Charger Circuit diagram

For automotive and other high voltage applications, the LTC4098 interface with a Linear Technology external switching regulator to provide a high efficiency high voltage power path. An overvoltage circuit protects the LTC4098 from high voltage damage on the USB/wall adaptor inputs with an N-channel FET and an resistor .

The voltage on the pin7 (Prog) pin always represents the actual charge current by using the following formula: IBAT =(VPROG/RPROG)x1030 The charge current is programmed using a single resistor from PROG to ground.The program resistor and the charge current are calculated using the following equations :RPROG =1030V/ICHG ; ICHG =1030V/RPROG . The charge voltage will be 4.2V with 0.5 accuracy . As you can see in the schematic circuit this charger is very simple an you need to apply just few easy equations to design a high efficiency Li-Ion Polymer charger .

Block diagram of AM transmitter and receiver with explanation

Block diagram of AM transmitter and receiver with explanation AM Transmitter : Transmitters that transmit AM signals are known as AM transmitters. These transmitters are used in medium wave (MW) and short wave (SW) frequency bands for AM broadcast. The MW band has frequencies between 550 KHz and 1650 KHz, and the SW band has frequencies ranging from 3 MHz to 30 MHz. The two types of AM transmitters that are used based on their transmitting powers are: · High Level · Low Level High level transmitters use high level modulation, and low level transmitters use low level modulation. The choice between the two modulation schemes depends on the transmitting power of the AM transmitter. In broadcast transmitters, where the transmitting power may be of the order of kilowatts, high level modulation is employed. In low power transmitters, where only a few watts of transmitting power are required , low...

Using the TLP250 Isolated MOSFET Driver Explanation and Example Circuits

I’ve already shown how to drive an N-channel MOSFET (or even an IGBT) in both high-side and low-side configurations in a multitude of ways. I’ve also explained the principles of driving the MOSFETs in these configurations. The dedicated drivers I’ve shown so far are the TC427 and IR2110. Some people have requested me to write up on MOSFET drive using the very popular TLP250. And I’ll explain that here. The TLP250, like any driver, has an input stage, an output stage and a power supply connection. What’s special about the TLP250 is that the TLP250 is an optically isolated driver, meaning that the input and output are “optically isolated”. The isolation is optical – the input stage is an LED and the receiving output stage is light sensitive (think “photodetector”). Before delving any further, let’s look at the pin configuration and the truth table. Fig. 1 - TLP250 Pin Configuration Fig. 2 - TLP250 Truth Table Fig. 1 clearly shows the input LED side and the receiving photodetector as well...
