I want to use this IC , so I will be able charge the battery while using my device .
and when I disconnect the charger the device will continue working and not reset\start over.

http://cds.linear.com/docs/en/datasheet/3652fd.pdf

this is the battery I'm using (can't change it):
LiPO battery
nominal :11.1V
Max Charge Volt:12.8

the charger I have is 12.6V 2A

now I have some questions :
1. I understand that PIn7 (V_FB) is the voltage to the battery,right?
so I need to change to value of the resistors to work on 11.1V
2. the NTC (pin8) - do I have to connect it to the battery ? or I can leave it not connected to nothing ? in the battery I do have a NTC wire. is it impotent?
3. I want to use the CHRG (pin4) so I will know when the battery is full ? so just to connect LED with 10K to it?


if there is a simpler\easy and ready solution for my needs - I will be more then happy to hear,

Thanks ,

 

1, the resistor value i would suggest is to replace the 542K to 1.2 or 1.3Meg, this will give a charge of 12.2V.

2, the Ntc is important as this detects overheating of the battery.

 

first of of thank .
but if i change the 542k to 1.3M I get
~2.7V

show me what I do wrong -
Vin=12.5V (this is the charger Voltage)
Vin*459k/(459k+1.3M)

 

The Vfb pin has a fixed 3.3V ref internal setting, so adjust the resistors to give your desired output charge.

 

sorry , but i don't understand your calculation
can you show me how you got this R=1.2-1.3M ?
Vin is 12.6V-this is the charger I have now for the battery
Thanks ,

 

if you want 12.6v, then the resistor is 12.6 - 3.3= 9.3v / (3.3v/459k) = 1.29Meg.


read the datasheet!!

 

maybe me English is not so good - so I didn't understand
just to be clear - some more questions :
1. I have a 220AC-12.6DC charger that charge the battery now , I'm still going to use it .
when I change the resistor to 1.3M resistor it will charge the battery with ~12.6V - right?
and if I change the external charger to 15V - will it still charge the battery with 12.6V?

2.The diode between Boost and BAT is a normal 0.7V diode , not something special ?

is this all the changes I have to do in the circuit in order to make it work?

Thanks for your help ,

 

Your english is ok, if you want to charge the battery at 12.6v, the input voltage must be a minimum of 3.3V higher, thats 15.9V input, if you use a 15V input, then you can only charge the battery at 11.7V.

As long as you input a voltage of 16V or higher the battery will only charge at the value set by the resistors.

LiPO battery
nominal :11.1V
Max Charge Volt:12.8

the charger I have is 12.6V 2A

VIN (Pin 1): Charger Input Supply. VIN operating range
is 4.95V to 32V. VIN must be 3.3V greater than the programmed
output battery float voltage (VBAT(FLT)) for reliable
start-up. (VIN – VBAT(FLT)) ≥ 0.75V is the minimum
operating voltage, provided (VBOOST – VSW) ≥ 2V. IVIN ~

85μA after charge termination

now I have some questions :
1. I understand that PIn7 (V_FB) is the voltage to the battery,right?
so I need to change to value of the resistors to work on 11.1V

This pin wants 3.3 volts when the battery is fully charged -- in your case 12.6 volts (4.2v for each cell) for the battery and 3.3 volts at the fb pin.

2. the NTC (pin8) - do I have to connect it to the battery ? or I can leave it not connected to nothing ? in the battery I do have a NTC wire. is it impotent?

Lithium batteries like to catch on fire. this is to prevent them from doing that.

3. I want to use the CHRG (pin4) so I will know when the battery is full ? so just to connect LED with 10K to it?

Yes

I suggest use pots for initial designs, so that you have a good window range when setting the sweet voltage spot [i.e. 1 meg 2 meg.. 500K ohm pots, prefer same footprint size i.e. 805 or 1206 smt's] (I suggest use try to set these common resistor value or resistors that are readily available in stock that have good ppm (<50ppm) and good tolerance 0.01% or 0.1% ); so use pots to tweek in the voltages. NTC are cheap. buy the 10k with b3380. place it where battery gets hot, unless you want to blow up.

 

ronv - thanks for all the details,
now I understand I can't use my correct charger , and if i want to work with this IC I need to get a 15V 2A power supply .
this is a problem from me now - (time issue)
I want to know something else -
if I connect the my system to the battery to the charger :


can I do this?
I have taken an empty battery and connect it like shown in the image .
after a half an hour - I see that the battery can hold the project (without the charger of course....)

so can I leave it like this?
or maybe connect some small circuit from transistors that will disconnect the charge of the battery or something?

(sorry for the change of the topic , but it's work in progress)

Thanks ,
