General Description
The bq2003 Fast Charge IC provides
comprehensive fast charge control
functions together with high-speed
switching power control circuitry on a
monolithic CMOS device.
Integration of closed-loop current
control circuitry allows the bq2003
to be the basis of a cost-effective so
-
lution for stand-alone and system-
integrated chargers for batteries of
one or more cells.
Switch-activated discharge-before-
charge allows bq2003-based chargers
to support battery conditioning and
capacity determination.
High-efficiency power conversion is
accomplished using the bq2003 as a
hysteretic PWM controller for
switch-mode regulation of the charg-
ing current. The bq2003 may alterna-
tively be used to gate an externally
regulated charging current.
Fast charge may begin on applica
-
tion of the charging supply, replace
-
ment of the battery, or switch de
-
pression. For safety, fast charge is
inhibited unless/until the battery
temperature and voltage are within
configured limits.
Temperature, voltage, and time are
monitored throughout fast charge.
Fast charge is terminated by any of
the following:

After fast charge, an optional top-off
phase is available. Constant-cur-
rent maintenence charge is provided
by an external trickle resistor.
