  • Patent number: 7663346
    Abstract: A battery charger for charging a battery through controlling a charging regulation circuit is provided. The battery charger includes a current sensing unit and an operational amplifier. The current sensing unit monitors a charging current applied to the battery when the battery charger operates under a constant current mode, thereby generating a first regulation signal to the charging regulation circuit. The operational amplifier compares a battery voltage of the battery with a first reference voltage to generate a comparison result. When the battery charger operates under the constant current mode, the comparison result controls a charging mode transition from the constant current mode to a constant voltage mode. When the battery charger operates under the constant voltage mode, the comparison result acts as a second regulation signal to control the charging regulation circuit.

  • Patent number: 7449865
    Abstract: The present invention provides a battery charger and a method for preventing both an overshoot charging current and an overcharged battery voltage during a mode transition. The battery charger includes a charging regulation circuit having an input terminal, an output terminal, and a control terminal, in which the charging regulation circuit outputs a charging current whose amount is regulated based on a first regulation signal at the control terminal. The battery charger also includes an operational amplifier having a positive input terminal, a negative input terminal, and an output terminal for generating the first regulation signal; The battery charger contains a first switch unit and a second switch unit for controlling current flow in the battery charger.
