DV2000S1 and DV2000TS1 Multi-Chemistry Switching Charger Development System Features Ø Safe management of fast charge for NiCd, NiMH, or Li-Ion battery packs Ø On-board switching regulation for up to 3A charge current (set to 1A for shipment) Ø Fast-charge termination by peak voltage, minimum current (Li-Ion), maximum temperature, or maximum charge time Ø Programmable charge rate and time-out Ø Programmable top-off option for NiMH packs Ø Trickle charge for conditioning deeply discharged batteries Ø Charge-status LED Ø Direct battery connection General Description The DV2000S1 and DV2000TS1 are complete development and evaluation environments for bq2000 multi-chemistry charge- control ICs. The DV2000S1 and DV2000TS1 support up to 4 Li-Ion or 10 NiCd/NiMH cells and can be user-programmed for other cell counts. Connection Descriptions J1 Charge qualification precedes fast charge. During qualification, full-charge current is inhibited if the battery voltage or temperature is outside predetermined and user-defined thresholds, indicating a battery pack that is deeply discharged, shorted, hot, or cold. During the qualification interval, the LED flashes at a 1Hz rate. In the case of a low battery voltage, the IC applies a low-current trickle charge in an attempt to revive the battery or to close the pack protector’s discharge switch. When battery voltage and temperature reach the required thresholds, full charge begins. The bq2000 completes the fast charge with the appropriate charge algorithm. If the voltage on BAT input rises to the internal VMCV threshold, the IC assumes a Li-Ion battery. Otherwise, the bq2000 assumes NiCd/NiMH chemistry. The user can further customize the algorithm by programming the device for top-off option (NiCd/NiMH only) and time-out period.

The DV2000S1 and DV2000TS1 boards have the following fixed characteristics : SLUU006A–June 1999—Revised OCTOBER 2000 Rev. D Board 1 DV2000S1 and DV2000TS1 An external DC supply is required to power the board. Please see the Recommended DC Operating Conditions. between the THERM and BAT- contacts on J1, temperature values are as follows: – VCC (5V) for the bq2000 is regulated on-board from the DC input on J1. LED1 indicates the charge status according to the bq2000 data sheet. Number of Cells Selection (JP2, JP3): These jumpers set the number of cells for either Li-Ion or NiCd/NiMH batteries. These jumpers should be changed only if the battery is absent or if DC power is turned off. Please note that only one jumper (either JP2 or JP3) should be selected at a time. 1 1 ICHG = 0.05 ∗ + R7 R19 Please note that a “user” selectable position is also provided on JP3. This position can be used to configure the board for other cell counts by selecting an appropriate value for R28. Please refer to the bq2000 data sheet for the equation. At shipment, the value of R7 is 0.05Ω and R19 is not connected. These resistors can be changed depending on the application. The maximum charge current for this board is 3A. The DV2000S1 and DV2000TS1 can be safely operated at currents up to 1A without adjusting the drive current for Q3. Please refer to the following table for the required adjustment to the Q3 drive for higher charging currents: R17 Top-off Option (JP1): This jumper enables (Y) or disables (N) the top-off option for NiMH batteries. This jumper has no effect on Li-Ion batteries. Charge Rate and Time-out (JP4): The following charge rate and time-out are available. Please note that for each charge rate and time-out settings, there are two possible selections: one with top-off enabled (Y) and one with top-off disabled (N). This selection must match the jumper setting of JP1.
