Preface RECOMMENDED READING This user's guide describes how to use the MCP1632 Single-Cell Li-Ion Battery Char- ger Demo Board. Other useful documents are listed below. The following Microchip documents are available and recommended as supplemental reference resources. • MCP1632 Data Sheet – “High-Speed, Low-Side PWM Controller”...
• MCP1632 high-speed current mode PWM controller. – When used in conjunction with a microcontroller, the MCP1632 will control the power system duty cycle to provide output current and/or voltage regulation. • PIC12F1822 microcontroller (8-bit MCU) – Used to implement the charging algo- rithm and to provide additional software functions like protections.
The conversion gain of this circuit is 1V/A. The PWM output available from the PIC12F1822 microcontroller is used to control the reference voltage of the MCP1632 using the circuit created with D2 and R3 components. Maximum output current is set by the PIC12F1822 microcontroller.
DEMO BOARD USER’S GUIDE Chapter 2. Installation and Operation GETTING STARTED The MCP1632 Single-Cell Li-Ion Battery Charger Demo Board is fully assembled and tested. The board requires the use of an external input voltage source (+4.5V to +12V). 2.1.1 Additional Components Required for Operation •...
2.2.3 Powering the Board Connect a power supply to J1 to power-up the MCP1632 Single-Cell Li-Ion Battery Charger Demo Board. Ensure that the power supply has the (+) terminal connected to J2 terminal block at pin 1 (up) and (–) terminal connected to pin 2 (down). The input voltage source should be limited to the 4.5V to 12V range.
EVALUATING THE APPLICATION The best way to evaluate the MCP1632 Single-Cell Li-Ion Battery Charger Demo Board is to examine the circuit and measure voltages and currents with a Digital Voltage Meter (DVM) and probe the board with an oscilloscope. Additional tools are necessary to evaluate some technical parameters of the board (temperature of power components, ability to withstand surge voltage pulse on input, EMI).
MCP1632 Single-Cell Li-Ion Battery Charger Demo Board User’s Guide 2.4.1 Main Loop Description The charger state machine is hardware independent, so all the output regulation is done in the main loop. Besides calling the state machine every second, different parameters and macros are required for the state machine code.

MCP1632 Single-Cell Li-Ion Battery Charger Demo Board User’s Guide TABLE 2-1: CHARGING STATES State Description Precharge Charges battery with a low current (usually C/10) until the battery voltage exceeds the defined cutoff voltage. Charge The Charge state has two phases: constant current mode and constant voltage mode. The Charge cycle starts in constant current mode, in which the battery is charged with a constant current (usually C/2) until the battery voltage equals +4.2 V...
