constant voltage current limiting float boost type battery charger for lead acid battery

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: PMP10110

Hi,

we require design for below requirement

1.constant voltage current limiting float boost type battery charger for lead acid battery

2. It should operate with input voltage variation 185 V to 300 V AC.

3.The charger should be capable of carrying 10 Amp continuously. Once the output current exceeds 5Amps the charger shall change over to boost mode. Float voltage will be adjusted to 26 to 26.5VDC and the boost mode voltage shall be adjusted to 26.8 to 27.5VDC. Upon reduction in charging current less than 5 Amps the charger shall change over back to float mode. The charger should be able to deliver the output at 0.1C20 rate.

4. There shall be potential free contact of change over type (C-NO-NC) which will be used as Charger fail or DC fail for remote indications. The contact rating of this contact shall be 2 Amps 24VDC. 

Please suggest for some reference design or IC which support the above requirements.

Thanks

  • Hey Vignesh,

    While I wasn't able to directly find a single IC that supports your design, I was able to find a couple of TI-Designs (reference designs) that does something similar to what you wanted.

    You will need an external MCU for this design to implement your particular charge profile. You may also have to change some components to optimize for efficiency any meet your 10A requirement.

    There are four versions of this, each with different input, output, and power capabilities, so a combination of designs may be of use.


    This was all I could find, and hopefully this puts you on the right track.

  • Hi Joel,
    I am looking to understand the circuit operation in PMP10110. Do you have that described in detail anywhere (what each circuit section and component does, etc.)?
