USB Battery Charger Circuit Diagram

In recent years, the use of USB or Universal Serial Bus as a reliable communications interface in plenty of electronic devices have increased due to its increased speed, size and flexibility. It fundamentally consists of terminals VBUS(+5V supply), GROUND, D+ and D-. As plenty of of the devices run on rechargeable battery, it is now the trend to design the charging circuit that makes use of the power supply from the USB port to charge the rechargeable battery. This feature will make the devices more convenient to the users as the devices will get their power from the bus and requires no outside plug or cables.

USB Bus Powered Functions

There's fundamentally three classes of USB functions on power that can be derived from the port.

  High-Power Bus The high power bus powered functions derived all its power from the VBUS and cann't draw over 100mA until it's been configured. One time configured, it can draw up to five unit loads(500mA) by requesting it in its descriptor. At full load, it must be able to work between the VBUS voltage of four.75V and five.25V.

  Low-Power Bus The low power bus powered functions derived all its power from the VBUS and must not draw over one unit load (100mA) according to the USB standard. It must even be able to work between the VBUS voltage of four.40V and five.25V.

  Self-Power Self power functions can draw up to 100mA from the VBUS and the rest from its outside source. This is the most simplest to design.

12V Lead Acid Battery Monitor Circuit Diagram

This is the simple 12V Lead Acid Battery Monitor Circuit Diagram. This simple circuit makes it possible to monitor the charging process to a higher level. If you need more information then check out the LM3914 Datasheet. Final adjustments are simple and the only thing needed is a digital voltmeter for the necessary accuracy.

12V Lead Acid Battery Monitor Circuit Diagram

Connect an input voltage of 12.65 volt between the positive and negative poles and adjust the 10K trimmer potentiometer until Led 10 lights up. Lower the voltage and in sequence all other Led's will light up. Check that Led 1 lights up at approximately 11.89 volts. At 12.65 volt and higher the battery is fully charged, and at 11.89 is considered 'empty'.

The green Led's indicate that the battery capacity is more than 50%, the yellow Led's indicate a capacity of 30% - 50% and the red Led's less that 30%. This circuit, with the components shown, uses less than 10mA. Of course you can adapt this circuit to your own needs by making small modifications. The circuits above is set for 'DOT' mode, meaning only one Led at a time will be lit.

If you wish to use the 'BAR' mode, then connect pin 9 to the positive supply rail, but obviously with increased current consumption.

The LED brightness can be adjusted up- or down by choosing a different value for the 4K7 resistor connected at pin 6/7.

You can also change the to monitoring voltage level. For example, let's say you wanted to change to 10 - 13 volt, you connect 13volt to the input (+ and -) and adjust the 10K potentiometer until Led 10 lights up. Change temporarily the resistors at pin 4 with a 200 Kilo-ohm potentiometer and reconnect a voltage from 10 Volt to the input. Now, re-adjust the 200K potentiometer until Led 1 lights up. When you are satisfied with the adjustment, feel free to exchange the 200K potentiometer with resistors again.(after measuring the resistance from the pot, obviously).

The diode 1N4007 was included to protect the circuit from a wrong polarity connection. It is however strongly recommended to connect the monitor directly to the battery, in principle a connection to the cigarrette lighter would suffice but for reasons unknown at this time the voltage at that point is 0.2 volt lower than the voltage measured directly on the battery.

Build a Portable Nicad Battery Charger Circuit Diagram

This is a Portable Nicad Battery Charger Circuit Diagram. This circuit can you build easily, The portable charger is intended primarily to give model enthusiasts the opportunity of charging their Nicad batteries from a car battery out in the open. The supply voltage for the circuit is regulated by IC1. When the circuit is connected to the car battery, D2 lights only if the Nicad to be charged has been connected with correct polarity. For that purpose, the + terminal of the Nicad battery is connected to the base of T1 via R8. Because even a discharged battery provides some voltage, T1 is switched on and D2 lights. 

 Portable Nicad Battery Charger Circuit Diagram

Only if the polarity is correct will the pressing of the start switch, SI, have any effect. If so, the collector voltage of T1 is virtually zero so that monostable IC2 is triggered by SI. The output, pin 3, of this CMOS timer then becomes high, T2 is switched on and relay Rel is energized. Charging of the Nicad battery, via R5 and D6, then begins and charging indicator D4 lights. During the charging, C4 is charged slowly via PI and R4. The value of these components determines the mono time of IC2 and thus the charging period of the Nicad battery. With values as shown in the diagram, that period can be set with PI to between 26 and 33 min. Notice that this time is affected by the leakage current of C4; use a good-quality capacitor here. 

The charging can be interrupted with reset switch S2. The charging current through the Nicad battery is determined by the value of R, which can be calculated: Ic is the charging current, which is here because the chosen charging period is twice the nominal value of the capacity of the Nicad battery. Resistor R must be able to dissipate a power of 1/ R W. Finally, make sure that the Nicad battery is suitable for fast charging; never charge for longer than half an hour!

 Portable Nicad Battery Charger Circuit Diagram

When power is first applied to the circuit, a small bias current supplied by Rl via winding Wl, starts to turn on the transistor TRl. This forces a voltage across W2 and the positive feedback given by the coupling of Wl and W201uses the transistor to turn hard on, applying the full supply across W2. The base drive voltage induced across Wl makes the junction between Rl and R2 become negative with respect to the 0-V supply, forward-biasing diode Dl to provide the necessary base current to hold TRl on. 

With the transistor on, a magnetizing current builds up in W2, which eventually saturates the ferrite core of transformer Tl. This results in a sudden increase on the collector current flowing through TRl, causing its collector-emitter voltage to rise, and thus reducing the voltage across W2. 

The current flowing in W2 forces the collector voltage of the TRl to swing positive until restricted by transformer output loading. Rc network R4 and C3limits the turn off transient TRl. R3 and C2 maintain the loop gain of the circuit when diode Dl is not conducting.

Build a Regulated Charge Pump Circuit Diagram

How to Build a Regulated Charge Pump Circuit Diagram. The dc-dc converter substitutes a voltage triplet in place of the external inductor and the diode that`s typically associated with the switching regulator, IC1. Inverting and non inverting amplifiers in the MOS-FET-driver (IC2) activate a diode-capacitor tripling network (D1 through D3, CI through C3). 

A 50-kHz oscillator residing within IC1 produces the EXT signal (pin 6), IC2 converts this signal into drive signals (180° out of phase) for the tripler. The resulting charge-discharge action in the capacitors recharges C3 toward 10 V every 20 The ferrite bead limits output ripple to about 20-mVpp for a 50-mA load.

Simple Wind battery Charger Circuit Diagram

This is a Simple Wind battery Charger Circuit Diagram. The dc motor is used as a generator with the voltage output being proportional to its rpm. The LTC1042 monitors the voltage output and provides the following control functions. If generator voltage output is below 13.8 V, the control circuit is active and the Ni-Cad battery is charging through the LM334 current source. The lead acid battery is not being charged. 

If the generator voltage output is between 13.8 V and 15.1 V, the 12 V lead acid battery is being charged at about 1 amp/hour rate (limited by the power FET). If generator voltage exceeds 15.1 V (a condition caused by excessive wind speed or 12 V battery being fully charged) then a fixed load is connected limiting the generator rpm to prevent damage. This charger can be used as a remote source of power where wind energy is plentiful such as on sailboats or remote radio repeater sites. Unlike solar powered panels, this system will function in bad weather and at night.

Build a Heavy Duty Battery Charger Circuit Diagram

How to Build a Heavy Duty Battery Charger Circuit Diagram. Operation amplifier A1 directly drives the VN64GA with the error signal to control the output voltage. Peak rectifier Dl, CI supplies error amplifier A1 and the reference zener. This extra drive voltage must exceed its source voltage by several volts for the VN64GA to pass full load current. 

The output voltage is pulsating dc which is quite satisfactory for battery charging. To convert the system to a regulated dc supply, capacitor C2 is increased and another electrolytic capacitor is added across the load. The response time is very fast, being determined by the op-amp.

Basic DC to DC Converter Electronic Schematic Diagram

Those of you who frequently use devices that work on battery or you need a negative trend at the moment you have a single positive, will definitely look for a converter like the one described below. Constructing it, you can convert a positive voltage of a battery of 9 V to negative using well known integrated 555. The same circuit can also be used in cases those requiring two symmetrical lines of power, when available a single battery. 

The integrated TLC555 is the old bipolar NE555, manufactured with technology but CMOS. Unless you have this type of integrated, you might as well use an 7555. In this construction, the TLC555 is syndesmologimeno arranged in a ground unstable.The oscillation frequency determined by the A2, A3, C 1 and approaching 20 kHz.

The rectangular waveform produced by the oscillator is therefore time to time (Duty Cycle) close to 50%. The waveform is led to a rectifier Doubler formed by C3, O1, O2 and C4. In place of O1 and O2 should be placed diodes Schottky type VAT85 due to low voltage correct direction which is equal to 0,4 V (silicon diodes such as type 1 N4148, show a tendency equal to 0,7 V). The capacitor C4 cares for smoothing the voltage bristled, while the C5 relieve the signal from noise high frequencies. With the help of A1, C6 and C7 achieved the disconnection of supply voltage timer. 

The consumption of the inverter to power depends largely on the load to be connected to the output of -9 V. As seen from the values ??indicated in the table, the output voltage is held within tolerable levels, as the load current is kept less than 1O mA. To make it easy to integrate the inverter into any electronic device, I suggest you build a small PCB board.

V Charger Circuit Diagram

The charger is based on a charging voltage of 2.4 V per cell, in accordance with most manufacturers' recommendations. The circuit pulses the battery under charge with 14.4 V (6 cells ? 2.4 V per cell) at a rate of 120 Hz. The design provides current limiting to protect the charger's internal components while limiting the charging rate to prevent damaging severely discharged lead-acid batteries. 

The maximum recommended charging current is normally about one-fourth the ampere-hour rating of the battery. For example, the maximum charging current for an average 44 ampere-hour battery is 11 A. If the impedance of the load requires a charging current greater than the 11 A current limit, the circuit will go into current limiting. The amplitude of the charging pulses is controlled to maintain a maximum peak charging current of 11 A (8 A average).
