Li-Ion Charger using LP2951

Sunday, June 13th, 2010

The LP2951 regulator is manufactured by National Semiconductors. The choice of values is from an application note “Battery Charging”, written by Chester Simpson. Diode D1 can be any diode from the 1N00x series, whichever is conveniently available. It functions as a blocking diode, to prevent a back flow of current from the battery into the [...]

Li-Ion White LED Driver by LT1618

Saturday, June 14th, 2008

In addition to providing an accurate input current limit, the LT1618 can also be used to provide a regulated output current for current-source applications. White LED drivers are one such application for which the LT1618 is ideally suited. With an input voltage range of 1.6V to 18V, the LT1618 can provide LED drive from a [...]

USB-Powered Lithium-Ion Battery Charger by LM3622

Sunday, April 6th, 2008

The battery-charger circuit is designed to operate as a high power USB function. To be compliant with USB Specifications (Rev. 1.1), a high-power function must not draw more than 500 mA from the bus during normal operation. The LM3622 uses the 0.25 current-limit resistor R1 to set a 400 mA maximum charging current. This leaves [...]
