当前位置：DS2710 - Smallest, Full-Featured NiMH Charger IC Speeds Time to Market
发布时间：2008-11-28 浏览：4455次
- The DS2710 is a stand-alone, NiMH charger IC with alkaline-cell detection.
- The industry's smallest charger IC to incorporate fast-charge control and alkaline-cell detection, the DS2710 saves time, space, and cost.
- Eliminating the need for a low-cost microcontroller and user programming, the DS2710 makes it easy to add in-system NiMH charging to end equipment powered by a AA or AAA battery.
- The DS2710 is ideal for MP3 players, voice recorders, handheld games, toys, and any other application capable of using standard-size alkaline or NiMH batteries.
The DS2710's charge-control output regulates charge current using a switch-mode or linear control scheme, enabling application designers to choose between maximizing charge rate and minimizing solution cost and size. The device offers comprehensive charge control for fast-charging NiMH cells, including precharge conditioning, negative-delta-V fast-charge termination, and top-off charging. Voltage, temperature, and charge-timer monitoring during all charge phases provides redundant secondary charge-termination methods for additional protection against overcharge. Additionally, a status pin drives an LED to indicate precharge, fast-charge, or fault conditions.
The DS2710 is available in a space-saving, 3mm x 4mm, 10-pin TQFN package. Prices start at $1.52 (1000-up, FOB USA). Samples are available now.
