GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The bq2000 is a programmable, monolithic IC for
fast-charge management of nickel cadmium (NiCd),
nickel metal-hydride (NiMH), or lithium-ion (Li-Ion)
batteries in single- or multi-chemistry applications.
The bq2000 chooses the proper battery chemistry
(either nickel or lithium) and proceeds with the
optimal charging and termination algorithms. This
process eliminates undesirable, undercharged, or
overcharged conditions, and allows accurate and safe
termination of fast charge
Depending on the chemistry, the bq2000 provides a
number of charge termination criteria:
• Peak voltage, PVD (for NiCd and NiMH)
• Minimum charge current (for Li-Ion)
• Maximum temperature
• Maximum charge time
For safety, the bq2000 inhibits fast charge until the
battery voltage and temperature are within
user-defined limits. If the battery voltage is below the
low-voltage threshold, the bq2000 uses trickle-charge
to condition the battery. For NiMH batteries, the
bq2000 provides an optional top-off charge to
maximize the battery capacity.
The integrated high-speed comparator allows the
bq2000 to be the basis for a complete, high-efficiency
battery charger circuit for both nickel-based and
lithium-based chemistries.
