CHARGER INTEGRATED CIRCUIT FOR CHARGING SERIES BATTERY DEVICE AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17953755 titled 'CHARGER INTEGRATED CIRCUIT FOR CHARGING SERIES BATTERY DEVICE AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING SAME

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a charger integrated circuit designed to charge a battery device with two batteries connected in series. The circuit includes a direct charger, a buck converter, a switched capacitor, and a linear charger.

  • The direct charger generates a first charging current and a first current based on an input voltage received from an input terminal.
  • The buck converter generates a second current and a second system current based on the input voltage.
  • The switched capacitor generates the first system current based on the first current and the second charging current based on the second current.
  • The linear charger provides the first charging current and the second charging current to the battery device.

Potential Applications

  • Charging battery devices with multiple batteries connected in series.
  • Integrated circuit design for efficient battery charging.

Problems Solved

  • Efficiently charging battery devices with multiple batteries connected in series.
  • Optimizing charging current based on input voltage.

Benefits

  • Improved charging efficiency.
  • Integrated circuit design for simplified battery charging.
  • Flexibility in generating different charging currents based on input voltage.


Original Abstract Submitted

A charger integrated circuit is configured to charge a battery device including a first battery and a second battery connected in series. The circuit includes a direct charger configured to generate a first charging current and a first current based on an input voltage received from an input terminal, the first current used to generate a first system current, and a buck converter configured to generate a second current and a second system current based on the input voltage, the second current used to generate a second charging current. The circuit includes a switched capacitor configured to generate the first system current based on the first current, and to generate the second charging current based on the second current, and a linear charger configured to provide the first charging current and the second charging current to the battery device.
