DESCRIPTION
The DS2715 is well suited for cost-sensitive charger applications where the battery is either internal or in a unique battery pack. It has been optimized for safe reliable charging of 1 to10 NiMH cells in series. The DS2715 has an internal gain block that can be selected as either a parator or transconductance amplifier for charge current regulation. The DS2715 is configurable as a switched DC charger, a linear current regulator, or a switchmode current source. The DS2715 pre-conditions severely depleted cells are pre-conditioned before entering full charge mode. The DS2715 terminates full...
