Abstract: A battery charger includes current sources for generating first and second currents respectively, a current sensor, a current source controller, and a reference voltage generator. The first current charges a battery in a first current path, and the second current is conducted to a feedback load in a second current path separate from the first current path. The current sources form a current mirror and are controlled by the current source controller from comparing a reference voltage with a terminal voltage of the feedback load. The current sensor indicates a level of the first current to the reference voltage generator that sets the reference voltage such that the first current is maintained to be constant.

The control method and apparatus remarkably reduces a deviation in the cooking periods by distinguishing the ascending slope-type foods from the descending slope-type foods. The control method and apparatus allows the microwave oven to appropriately cook food for a period of time which substantially matches a practically required cooking period, thus providing a good cooking result.
