TEA1104 - NXP

TEA1104 Cost effective battery monitor and fast charger

The TEA1104 is manufactured in a BiCMOS process intended to be used as a battery monitor circuit in charge systems for NiCd and NiMH batteries. It is especially designed for cost effective compact consumer applications. The circuit is able to detect fully charged batteries by currentless battery voltage sensing. Several output drive functions are available t.

Features

• Accurate detection of fully charged batteries by currentless peak voltage sensing
• Switch-over from fast to safe trickle charge current at battery full detection
• Fast charge termination back-up by maximum time and maximum temperature detection
• Several trickle charge drive possibilities for mains isolated and non-mains isolated systems
• Battery checking to protect against short-circuited and open batteries
• Battery monitor allows recharging of different battery packs in the same charger
• Dual LED indicator provision
• External regulator not required because of large input voltage rang.
