CHARGER INTEGRATED CIRCUIT FOR CHARGING BATTERY DEVICE AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18097828 titled 'CHARGER INTEGRATED CIRCUIT FOR CHARGING BATTERY DEVICE AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING SAME
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a charger integrated circuit for charging a battery device that includes a first battery and a second battery. The circuit includes a first charger that generates a first charging current from an input voltage received from an input voltage terminal. It also includes a battery switch that provides the first charging current to the battery device. The battery switch consists of multiple transistors that connect the first battery and the second battery in series or in parallel based on the input voltage and the voltage across each battery.
- The charger integrated circuit is designed to charge a battery device with multiple batteries.
- The circuit includes a first charger that generates a charging current from an input voltage.
- A battery switch is used to connect the batteries in series or parallel based on the input voltage and the voltage across each battery.
