Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a charging circuit, in particular to a circuit and method for trickle charging in a switch mode charger. Background technique
[0002] In a traditional switching mode charger, the charging principle is to output a DC-DC to a battery VBAT, and control the charging current to VBAT to be a constant through the DC-DC output current loop. value, reference figure 1 As shown; when the VBAT voltage value is higher than the constant threshold value (usually 3V), the current that can be directly charged is usually a larger value above 1A. When the VBAT voltage is relatively low, lower than a threshold (usually 2V), the charging current at this time must be controlled to a smaller value, and this process is called the trickle charging stage. According to the battery characteristics of different battery manufacturers, the trickle mode charging also has certain differences, usually in the range of 100mA to 500mA.
