LM3647 Reference Design User’s Manual GENERAL DESCRIPTION The LM3647 is a charge controller for Nickel-Cadmium (Ni-Cd), Nickel-Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) or Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) batteries. The device uses a pulsed-current charging or a constant-current charging technique.
Charge Current The charge settings for LM3647 current control are shown below . If the external LM317 is used to control the charge current then the jumpers J9, J10 and J13 have no relevance, when using LM317 regulation mode, this jumper must be placed in either position.
and the charge process will restart. This occurs only with batteries that are already fully charged, and consequently should not be recharged. If the battery voltage has not reached the Li-Ion battery qualification voltage (CEL-pin > 1.
The actual timeouts (with RCIN @ 2.5 MHz) is: Phase Timeout Fast Charge ∼ 330 Minutes Topping Charge ∼ 80 Minutes EXAMPLE 2: The actual timeouts (with RCIN @ 2.5 MHz) is: Phase Timeout Fast Charge Constant Current − 130 Minutes Topping Charge Constant Voltage − 190 Minutes 1.
• For Li-Ion: The voltage divider network for Li-Ion is very important. If the battery voltage is scaled too low , the battery will not attain its full capacity when charged, and if scaled too high, the battery may become damaged.
