[0023] See Figure 1 The high power density charging control device of the satellite power system in this embodiment includes two charging regulators. The two charging regulators have the same structure and are backups of each other, supporting both cold and hot backup working modes.
[0024] Each charging regulator includes a charging enable switch, a charging regulation circuit topology, and a charging mode selection switching circuit connected in sequence. By controlling the opening and closing of the charging enable switch, it determines which charging regulation circuit topology works, that is, which charging regulator works.
[0025] Specifically, the first charging regulator includes:
[0026] The charging enable switch uses transistor Q5, and the drain of transistor Q5 is connected to the primary bus V.BUS The source of the switching transistor Q5 is connected to the input terminal of the charging regulation circuit topology 1.

[0031] The charging regulation circuit topology in the charging regulator can adopt the charging regulation circuit topology of existing technology.
[0032] When switch Q5 is on and switch Q6 is off, there are three scenarios: 1) Switch Q1 is on and switch Q2 is off, the first charging regulator charges battery A; 2) Switch Q1 is off and switch Q2 is on, the first charging regulator charges battery B; 3) Switches Q1 and Q2 are on simultaneously, the first charging regulator charges both battery A and battery B simultaneously, with the battery with the lower voltage being charged first.
[0033] When switch Q5 is off and switch Q6 is on, there are three scenarios: 1) Switch Q3 is on and switch Q4 is off, the second charging regulator charges battery A; 2) Switch Q3 is off and switch Q4 is on, the second charging regulator charges battery B; 3) Switches Q3 and Q4 are on simultaneously, the second charging regulator charges both battery A and battery B simultaneously, with the battery with the lower voltage being charged automatically first.
[0034] When both switching transistors Q5 and Q6 are turned on, batteries A and / or B can be charged simultaneously through two charging regulators. There are five scenarios: 1) When switching transistors Q1 and Q4 are on, and switching transistors Q2 and Q3 are off, the first charging regulator charges battery A, and the second charging regulator charges battery B; 2) When switching transistors Q1 and Q4 are off, and switching transistors Q2 and Q3 are on, the first charging regulator charges battery B, and the second charging regulator charges battery A. 3) When switches Q1 and Q3 are on and switches Q2 and Q4 are off, the first and second charging regulators simultaneously charge battery A. 4) When switches Q2 and Q4 are on and switches Q1 and Q3 are off, the first and second charging regulators simultaneously charge battery B. 5) When switches Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4 are on simultaneously, the first and second charging regulators simultaneously charge battery A and battery B.
[0035] Switch Q1 and switch Q3 serve as backups for each other. If switch Q1 fails, switch Q3 can be turned on to charge battery A. Switch Q2 and switch Q4 serve as backups for each other. If switch Q2 fails, switch Q4 can be turned on to charge battery B, and the circuit operation will not be affected.
[0036] To prevent circulating current between circuits or backflow of battery current into the charging regulation circuit topology, which could damage the charging regulation circuit topology, this invention connects an isolation diode in series between the switching transistor and the battery to prevent backflow of current and affect circuit operation.
[0037] Preferably, to ensure high reliability of the circuit, the selection of switching transistors Q5 and Q6 should be consistent, the selection of isolation diodes D1, D2, D3 and D4 should be consistent, the selection of switching transistors Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4 should be consistent, and the voltage conversion ratio and other parameters of the two charging regulation circuit topologies should be consistent.
[0038] Preferably, in order to reduce the losses of the switching transistor and the isolation diode, when selecting components, isolation diodes with low forward voltage drop and short reverse recovery time should be selected, and switching transistors with low conduction loss and fast switching speed should be selected.
[0039] Compared with the traditional satellite power system charging control device that sets up main and backup charging regulators for two sets of batteries respectively, the power density of the satellite power system high power density charging control device of the present invention is doubled; the number of charging regulators is reduced from 4 to 2, which is in line with the development trend of lightweight satellite power systems.
