摘要
A design for a Li-ion battery charger IC that can operate in a constant current-constant voltage （CC- CV） charge mode is proposed. In the CC-CV charge mode,the charger IC provides a constant charging current at the beginning, and then the charging current begins to decrease before the battery voltage reaches its final value. After the battery voltage reaches its final value and remains constant,the charging current is further reduced. This approach prevents charging the battery with full current near its saturated voltage,which can cause heating. The novel design of the core of the charger IC realizes the proposed CC-CV charge mode. The chip was implemented in a CSMC 0.6μm CMOS mixed signal process. The experimental results verify the realization of the proposed CC- CV charge mode. The voltage of the battery after charging is 4. 1833V.
提出了一种基于恒流-恒压(CC-CV)充电模式的锂电池充电器.在CC-CV充电模式下,充电器先给电池提供大的充电电流;在电池电压尚未到达饱和之前,充电电流便开始减小;电池电压达到饱和并保持恒定之后,充电电流进一步减小.这种充电方法,能够避免在电池电压的饱和值附近仍对电池进行大电流充电,从而导致过热现象.对这块充电器芯片核心电路的创新设计,保证了这种CC-CV充电模式的实现.本芯片采用CSMC公司0.6μm的CMOS工艺流片.测试结果验证了本文提出的CC-CV充电模式的实现.充电完成后,锂电池电压为4.1833V.
