U2403B
Charge Timer
Description
The U2403B is a monolithic, integrated-bipolar circuit which can be used in applications for time-controlled, constant-current charge. Selection of charge current versus timing is carried out by using the external circuit at Pins 2, 3 and 4. For high current requirement, an external transistor is recommended in series with the battery. To protect the IC against high power loss (typically > 140°C), the oscillator is shut down when the reference voltage is switched off (0 V). The latter also takes place when there is a saturation caused by collector voltage at Pin 1. When the overtemperature has disappeared and the collector voltage at Pin 1 has exceeded the supply voltage (V1 > VS), charge time operation continues (see flow chart in figure 3).
