GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The DS2711 and DS2712 are ideal for in-system or
stand-alone charging of 1 or 2 AA or AAA NiMH
“loose” cells. Temperature, voltage, and charge time
are monitored to provide proper fast-charging control
algorithms for nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries.
Battery tests are included to detect defective or
inappropriate cells such as alkaline primary batteries.
The DS2711/DS2712 support series and parallel
topologies, with independent monitoring and control of
each cell. Charging of NiCd chemistry cells is also
supported.
