The MCP1630 Li-Ion Multi-Bay Battery Charger is intended for use in pseudo-smart battery charger applications in conjunction with battery packs containing Microchip’s PS700 Battery Monitor. Standard battery packs can be utilized as well. The MCP1630 Li-Ion Multi-Bay Battery Charger provides a constant-current, constant-voltage charge with preconditioning, cell temperature monitoring and battery pack fault monitoring.
This board utilizes Microchip’s MCP1630 (High-speed PWM MSOP8), MCP6292 (Dual Op Amp MSOP8) and PIC18F2410 (Flash MCU SOIC28). The input voltage range for the MCP1630 Li-Ion Multi-Bay Battery Charger is 10V to 28V. The output is capable of charging at a fast-charge rate of 2A constant current.
External signals include the input oscillator, the reference voltage, the feedback voltage and the current sense. The output signal is a square-wave pulse. The power train used for the MCP1630 is a SEPIC.
MCP1630 Li-Ion Multi-Bay Battery Charger User’s Guide GETTING STARTED The MCP1630 Li-Ion Multi-Bay Battery Charger is fully assembled and tested for charging single-cell, Li-Ion battery packs with the recommended charge profile for Li-Ion batteries. This board requires the use of an external input voltage source (+10V to +28V) and external load (battery or simulated battery load).
