Integrated Li-Ion battery linear charger with power routing switch and parallel power paths for portable applications
Sergei Strik and Viktor Strik of Texas Instruments present an exclusive paper discussing a linear charger with power routing switch and parallel power paths. Use of a parallel structure allows reduction the occupied area and keeps system voltage constant and independent from the battery voltage compared to conventional linear chargers. Moreover, an adaptive current distribution function between battery and system allows charging of the battery as...
