Datasheet Summary
QuickSaver® Charge Controller for Nickel-Cadmium and Nickel-Metal Hydride Batteries
General Description
The ICS1700A 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. The ICS1700A employs a four stage charge sequence that provides a plete recharge without overcharging. The controller has four user-selectable charge rates available for customized charging systems. The ICS1700A is a pin-for-pin replacement for the original ICS1700 controller. The ICS1700A monitors for the presence of a battery and...
