Battery Charger Demo Board

DESCRIPTIO
The DC101 board is a standalone Smart Battery charger
that receives Charging Voltage(), Charging Current() and
AlarmWarning() commands from the Smart Battery via
the System Management Bus (SMBus) and sets charging
current and voltage accordingly. The charger continu-
ously monitors the built-in thermistor in the battery. The
thermistor information is used by the software to inhibit
charging at temperature extremes and to set charging
strategy for different battery chemistries.

OPERATIO
Input Voltage: The nominal input voltage of the board is
24V DC. The input voltage must be higher than the battery
voltage by a minimum of 3V. The minimum input voltage
is 16V, limited by the undervoltage lockout circuit in the
LT1511 and set by resistors R16, R17 and R18. The
highest input voltage is 27.4V, limited by the maximum
input voltage of the LT1511. The input is protected against
reverse polarity up to 30V.
Red LED: A red LED indicates SMBus activity. It lights up
for about 1 second when the charger recognizes its own
address (12 hex) on the SMBus.
Green LED: A flashing green LED indicates microproces-
sor activity and charger status. Fast blinking (approxi-
mately 8Hz) indicates normal microprocessor activity and
either trickle charge or shutdown charger status. After
valid voltage and current data have been received, the
blinking speed of the LED slows down to about 2Hz,
indicating normal charging.
Input Current: The sum of the system current and the
chargerinputcurrentislimitedbytheLT1511to2A. When
both the system current and the charger input current
requirements are high, the charger reduces the charging
current to meet the 2A current limit.

OPERATIO
Battery Removal, Thermistor Measurements: The
charger periodically checks the thermistor in the battery
through the T-terminal. When the thermistor is out of
normaloperatingtemperaturerange,thechargerswitches
to trickle charge mode and increases the flashing fre-
quency of the green LED to indicate an abnormal charg-
ing condition. When the resistance of the thermistor is in
the 500Ω < RTH < 1.5k range, the charger assumes a Li-
Ion battery is at the output. Instead of trickle charging the
battery it shuts down the charger until a valid voltage and
current request arrives from the battery. An open ther-
mistor forces the charger into trickle charge mode and
the charger disregards data on the SMBus.

STOP
The idealized SMBus waveforms shown in Figure 1 illus-
trate SMBus communication between the battery and the
charger. The first seven bits after the START sequence are
the battery address. The R/W bit tells the charger that the
battery is attempting to write to the charger. During the
acknowledge period (ACK), the charger becomes active
and pulls the data line (SDA) low, indicating reception of
a data word. When reception of the data word is not
acknowledged by the charger, the battery terminates the
communication by sending a STOP sequence to the bus.
The clock pulses for the communication are always gen-
erated by the battery (BUS MASTER).
System Management Bus (SMBus)
When charge in the Smart Battery (SB) drops below 85%
of the nominal capacity, it initiates communication over
the SMBus every 64 seconds. After sending a START
sequence,thebatteryaddressestheSmartBatterycharger
and waits for an acknowledgment (ACK) from it. If the
charger fails to acknowledge the word, the battery termi-
nates further communication by placing a STOP sequence
onto the SMBus. If the charger acknowledges (ACK) the
reception of the first word, the battery continues the
communication sequence and sends six more words to
the charger. The complete current and voltage request
communication sequence is as follows:
