Silicon Laboratories
Driven by the need for untethered mobility and
ease of use, many systems rely on rechargeable batteries as their primary power source. The battery
charger is typically implemented using a fixed-function
IC to control the charging current/voltage profile.
The C8051F300 family provides a flexible alternative
to fixed-function linear battery chargers. This application note discusses how to use the C8051F300 device in Li-Ion battery charger applications. The Li-Ion
charging algorithms can be easily adapted to other battery chemistries.
