Description
The ICS1722 is a CMOS device designed for the intelligent charge control of either nickel-cadmium (NiCd) or nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries.
The controller uses a pulsed-current charging technique together with voltage slope termination.
Features
- Charge termination methods include: Voltage slope Charge timers Four stage charge sequence: Soft start charge Fast charge Topping charge Maintenance charge Reverse-pulse charging available in all charge stages Nine programmable charge rates between 15 minutes (4C) and four hours (C/4) Continuous polling mode for battery detection Six auxiliary modes include: Discharge-before-charge Ten hour C/10 conditioning charge Direct to C/40 maintenance charge Charging system test provid.
