This paper presents a high efficiency Li-ion battery LDO-based charger IC which adopted a three-mode control: trickle constant current, fast constant current, and constant voltage modes. The criteria of the proposed Li-ion battery charger, including high accuracy, high efficiency, and low size area, are of high importance. The simulation results provide the trickle current of 116 mA, maximum charging current of 448 mA, and charging voltage of 4.21 V at the power supply of 4.8–5 V, using 0.18 μm CMOS technology.

In this work, the design and analysis of new Li-Ion battery charger interface using the switching-based technique is proposed for high efficiency, high speed charge and low area. The high efficiency, the lower size area and the fast charge are the more important norms of the proposed Li-Ion battery charger interface. The battery charging is completed passes to each charging mode: The first mode is the trickle charge mode (TC), the second mode is the constant current mode (CC) and the last mode is the constant voltage mode (CV), in thirty three minutes. The new Li-Ion battery charger interface is designed, simulated and layouted in Cadence software using TSCM 180 nm CMOS technology. With an input voltage V<sub>IN</sub> = 4.5 V, the output battery voltage (V<sub>BAT</sub>) may range from 2.7 V to 4.2 V and the maximum charging battery current (I<sub>BAT</sub>) is 1.7 A. The peak efficiency reaches 97% and the total area is only 0.03mm<sup>2</sup> .

In this paper, we design a CMOS Li-Ion battery charger using the multimode low dropout (LDO) voltage regulator associated with a current sense to supply trickle current, constant current, and constant voltage for charging the battery in order. The protections from over charging and discharging are also considered by monitoring the charging current, reverse voltage, and battery temperature. The whole charger has been verified by HSPICE with TSMC 0.35 μm 2P4M CMOS process. The charger provides the trickle current of 150 mA, maximum charging current of 312 mA, and charging voltage of 4.2 V at the input voltage of 4.5 V. The power efficiency of 72.3% is acceptable under the power consumption of 1.28 W. The chip occupies an area of 1.78 mm × 1.77 mm including 2955 transistors.

A new Li-Ion battery charger interface (BCI) using pulse control (PC) technique is designed and analyzed in this paper. Thanks to the use of PC technique, the main standards of the Li-Ion battery charger, i.e. fast charge, small surface area and high efficiency, are achieved. The proposed charger achieves full charge in forty-one minutes passing by the constant current (CC) charging mode which also included the start-up and the constant voltage mode (CV) charging mode. It designed, simulated and layouted which occupies a small size area 0.1 mm2 by using Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company 180 nm complementary metal oxide semi-conductor technology (TSMC 180 nm CMOS) technology in Cadence Virtuoso software. The battery voltage VBAT varies between 2.9 V to 4.35 V and the maximum battery current IBAT is 2.1 A in CC charging mode, according to a maximum input voltage VIN equal 5 V. The maximum charging efficiency reaches 98%.

Cell imbalance has always happened in the series-connected battery. Series-connected battery needs to be balanced to maintain capacity and maximize the batteries lifespan. Cell balancing helps to dispart energy equally among battery cells. For active cell balancing, the use of a DC-DC converter module for cell balancing is quite common to achieve high efficiency, reliability, and high power density converter. This paper describes the implementation of a LiFePO4 battery charger based on the DC-DC converter module used for cell balancing application. A constant current-constant voltage (CC-CV) controller for the charger, which is a general charging method applied to the LiFePO4 battery, is presented for preventing overcharging when considering the nonlinear property of a LiFePO4 battery. The prototype is made up with an input voltage of 43V to 110V and the maximum output voltage of 3.75V, allowing to charge a LiFePO4 cell battery and balancing the battery pack with many cells from 15 to 30 cells. The goal is to have a LiFePO4 battery charger with an approximate power of 40W and the maximum output current of 10A. Experimental results on a 160AH LiFePO4 battery for some state of charge (SoC) shows that the maximum battery voltage has been limited at 3.77 volt and maximum charging current could reach up to 10.64 A. The results show that the charger can maintain battery voltage at the maximum reference voltage and avoid the LiFePO4 battery from overcharging.

This research presents a battery charger design that can charge faster than using a PWM type solar charge controller (SCC). SCC is often operated when the battery capacity is 80% so that the charging current that can be provided is only 10% to 20% of the battery capacity. The battery charging method applied in this study uses the principle of fast charging by adjusting the value of the current and the output voltage value of the buck converter. Fast charging has its own characteristic, obviously, the charging rate that is greater than the usual charging method, which is up to 1C of the battery capacity. The principle of fast charging in this study uses the constant current / constant voltage method. This converter is designed with the ability to produce current by the charging rate of 1C from a 12Ah battery capacity of 12 A and an output voltage of 16.8 V. To ensure that the output of the converter matches the setpoint, the duty cycle value is adjusted using fuzzy control. Based on the results obtained from the simulation, the control of this study obtained an output current 12  Amperes with error ripple current around 8.3%. The SOC on this battery increased by 75.74% in 45 minutes.
