New architecture for solving the problems charge lithium battery
Friday, November 6th, 2009
The need to tell us about the main battery’s current mobile phone charging. In the past, using mobile lithium batteries, GPS and other portable terminals were powered by rechargeable most IC DC / DC or power conversion topology PMU to obtain power for the entire system. This approach has the advantage of simple structure, the cost is relatively low. However, its shortcomings can not be neglected because of their judgments according to whether the battery is fully charged current size, but in fact the system itself is also responsible for the current consumption of the battery, so that the system could not accurately estimate the battery is already full. To resolve this problem, people have begun to introduce a software-controlled method of recharging the battery continuously. However, this program brings the battery has lasted too long saturated with defects, resulting in the battery life reduced, and in severe cases will be an explosion. Therefore, the smartphone market, the original laptop belonging to switch-mode battery charging technology is also beginning to spread.
The principle of switch mode charging easier to understand: the power switch when the role is to charge the battery with the system isolated from the AC adapter into the interface load, even after the power has been divided in both directions all the way to charge the battery all the way then through the switch to the system in DC / DC power supply directly. The introduction of switch-mode charging solution of unsaturated or saturated long-load problem, but new problems have also followed the emergence of China as an IT high-performance analog products business development manager for Zhang said “0.2 U.S. dollars for the power switch to the mobile phone is too expensive, and because the DC / DC directly about the high-voltage shocks, which leads to a failure rate higher phones mobile. Furthermore, it makes a ripple and noise will also affect mobile termination rates phone call. “
Portable terminals to meet the management of lithium load encountered in the above problem, the last of his four models for BQ24071 / linear battery charger IC, TI uses a single structure - apart from the charge controller The device also incorporates the two MOS tube (Figure 1). When, as a T1 pre-regulator, whose role is to filter over-voltage, ripple and noise of a variety of food, to address the laptop switch mode charging gaps. At the same time, 40mΩ of Q2 is used for active switching. A alleged that the general assets millisecond switch to another, Q2 time is only a subtle level, not only reduce their own consumption but also to avoid a reset of the system may occur in the phenomenon. In addition, Q1, Q2 and the current system can be detected, thereby avoiding a full battery is conducted to determine the possibility of errors. And when the battery is full, the absence of discharge channels appear not rejection phenomenon. To completely solve the lithium battery powered portable system, the battery charging all the problems.
