[0012] Figure 1 It is a circuit schematic diagram of a battery charging circuit in the invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0013] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0014] The description of these embodiments is used to help understand the present invention, but does not constitute a limitation of the present invention. In addition, the technical features involved in the embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0015] As shown in the accompanying drawings: a battery charging circuit includes a power input terminal J1, a power output terminal J2, a diode D1, a transistor Q1, a MOS transistor Q2, a MOS transistor Q3, a transistor Q4, a transistor Q5, and a transistor Q6. The power input terminal is respectively connected to the anode of the diode D1 and the emitters of the transistors Q4 and Q6. The cathode of the diode D1 is connected to one end of a resistor R4 and a constant current charging circuit. The other end of the resistor R4 is connected to the source of the MOS transistor Q3. The drain of the MOS transistor Q3 is connected to capacitors C1, C2, and the power output terminal J2. The base of the transistor Q4 is connected to the source of the MOS transistor Q3. The collector of the transistor Q4 is respectively connected to resistor R8 and the gate of the MOS transistor Q3. The collector of the transistor Q6 is connected to resistor R8. The base of the transistor Q6 is connected to resistor R14. The other end of the resistor R14 is connected to the collector of the transistor Q5.

[0016] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the constant current charging circuit includes a resistor R1 and a resistor R3 connected to the cathode of the diode, the other end of the resistor R3 is connected to the source of the MOS transistor Q2, the other end of the resistor R1 is connected to the resistor R2 and the gate of the MOS transistor Q2, the drain of the MOS transistor Q2 is connected to the source of the MOS transistor Q3, the other end of the resistor R2 is connected to the collector of the transistor Q1, the base of the transistor Q1 is connected to the resistor R13, and the emitter of the transistor Q1 is grounded.

[0017] Preferably, the transistors Q1 and Q5 are NPN transistors, and the transistors Q4 and Q6 are PNP transistors.

[0018] Preferably, the MOS tube is an AO3415 MOS tube.

[0019] Preferably, the positive electrode of the power input terminal J1 is connected to the power supply VIN-5V, and the positive electrode of the power output terminal J2 is connected to the battery V-BAT.

[0020] The working principle of this embodiment, taking lithium battery charging as an example, is as follows:

[0021] 1) When the lithium battery voltage is less than 3V, transistors Q5 and Q6 are non-conducting, and transistors Q1 and MOSFET Q2 are also non-conducting. Power supply VIN_5V charges V_BAT through diode D1, resistor R4, and MOSFET Q3. The charging current gradually rises to Isat, then stabilizes, maintaining constant current charging. Resistor R4 acts as a current sampling resistor, and transistor Q4 provides negative feedback. When the current flowing through resistor R4 exceeds Isat, the collector voltage of transistor Q4 increases, causing the VGS voltage of MOSFET Q3 to decrease, thereby reducing the charging current. Conversely, when the charging current is less than Isat, the collector voltage of transistor Q4 decreases, causing the VGS voltage to increase, thereby increasing the charging current.

[0022] 2) When the lithium battery voltage is greater than 3V and less than 4.2V, transistors Q5 and Q6 are off, while transistors Q1 and MOS transistor Q2 are on. The current sampling resistor is approximately the parallel combination of resistors R4 and R3 (approximately 1 / 10 of R4's value). Transistor Q4 also provides negative feedback, stabilizing the charging current at approximately 10*Isat.

[0023] 3) When the charging voltage rises to 4.2V, transistors Q5 and Q6 are turned on, raising the gate voltage of MOS tube Q3 and lowering the VGS voltage of MOS tube Q3, thereby reducing the charging current until charging is turned off.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following technical effects:

[0025] The present invention provides a battery charging circuit, which uses a small number of triodes, MOS tubes, resistors and capacitors to achieve battery charging management.

[0026] Finally, it should be noted that the above descriptions are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
