Abstract

A battery charger that can automatically identificate the battery polarity, includes a state/polarity identification module (200), a controller (300) and a rechargeable drive unit (100). Wherein the state/polarity identification module (200) automaticlly identificates the unladen, short-circuit, over-current, positive battery connecting, and reverse battery connecting condition of the charger, and detects the state of the battery, so as to generate the corresponding state signal; the controller (300) controls the switching action of the rechargeable drive unit (100) according to the state signal, thus choosing the correct charging circuit and the charge current, and reaching rechargeable function of battery inverse. The circuit is integrated into a chip and greatly reduces the circuit costs.

Example Embodiment

[0014] Most of the known battery chargers need to manually or use other devices to adjust the battery polarity to complete the normal charging function when the battery is reversed. Some chargers have the function of recharging the battery, but they are all built with discrete components. , occupying a large PCB board area, and accurate detection voltage will further increase the circuit cost. In view of this, the present invention proposes a battery charger that can automatically identify the polarity of the battery and can charge the battery in reverse connection.
[0015] As shown in Fig. 2A, this figure is a simple schematic diagram of a preferred embodiment of the present invention. In this example, a MOS field effect transistor is used as a controlled source, wherein the first field effect transistor (110) is a P channel MOS transistor, which has a source (113), a drain (117) and a gate (115), wherein The source (113) is connected to the power supply, the drain (117) is connected to the node X, and the gate (115) is connected to the first output of the controller (300); the second field effect transistor (120) is an N-channel MOS transistor, which has Source (123), drain (127) and gate (125), wherein the source (123) is grounded, and the drain (127) is coupled to the drain (117) of the first field effect transistor (110) at node X , the gate (125) is connected to the second output of the controller (300); the third field effect transistor (130) is a P channel MOS transistor, which has a source (133), a drain (137) and a gate (135 ), wherein the source (133) is connected to the power supply, the drain (137) is connected to the node Y, and the gate (135) is connected to the third output of the controller (300); the fourth field effect transistor (140) is an N-channel MOS transistor , which has a source (143), a drain (147) and a gate (145), wherein the source (143) is grounded, and the drain (147) is coupled to the drain (137) of the third field effect transistor at node Y , the gate (145) is connected to the fourth output of the controller (300). In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the state/polarity identification unit (200) will automatically identify the charger's no-load, short circuit, overcurrent, battery positive connection and battery reverse connection conditions and detect battery voltage status, and generate corresponding status signals to the control The input of the device (300). The charger is connected to the battery and the battery is not saturated: when the battery terminal connected to node X is the positive pole of the battery and the battery terminal connected to node Y is the negative pole of the battery, the first field effect transistor (110) and the fourth field effect transistor (140) are turned on , the second field effect transistor (120) and the third field effect transistor (130) are turned off, at this time the battery charging circuit is: power supply VDD---first field effect transistor (110)---battery positive pole---battery Negative pole---the fourth field effect transistor (140)---ground; The field effect transistor (130) is turned on, and the first field effect transistor (110) and the fourth field effect transistor (140) are turned off. At this time, the battery charging circuit is: power supply VDD --- the third field effect transistor (130) -- -battery positive pole---battery negative pole---second field effect transistor (120)---ground. When the charger is connected to the battery and the battery is saturated: the controller (300) controls the switching action of the four MOS transistors to cut off the battery charging circuit to prevent the battery from being overcharged. In addition, the jumper (Metal Option) in the IC layout can be used to adjust the size of the MOS transistor to obtain the required charging current value.
