  Application Note 84 is a collection of "power circuits" from the years 1996 through 1998 as seen in the pages of Linear Technology magazine. This Application Note collects circuits that can output tens of amps to circuits that can operate a handheld device for several years. In addition to a wide variety of traditional power supply circuits (Buck, Boost, Inverting, Flyback, Linear Regulators, etc.) we include circuits for charging batteries, several Power Management circuits as well as circuits that highlight a very low noise switching regulator.

  Application Note 84

  INTRODUCTION
  Application Note 84 is the fourth in a series that excerpts
  useful circuits from Linear Technology magazine to preserve them for posterity. This application note highlights
  “power” circuits from issue VI:1 (February 1996) through
  issue VIII:4 (November 1998). Another application note
  will feature data conversion, interface and signal processing circuits from the same era. Like its predecessor, AN 66,
  this Application Note includes circuits that can power
  most any system you can imagine, from “server” power
  supplies that generate in excess of 50 amps to micropower systems for portable and handheld equipment.
  Also included are power converters that can be voltage programmed using Intel’s VID code. Charge pump converters, linear regulators and battery charger circuits are
  included here, with Li-Ion batteries receiving extra attention. There are, of course, circuits that cannot be so simply
  categorized. Come browse. I’ll get out of the way and let
  the authors describe their creations.
  Note: Article Titles appear in this application note exactly
  as they originally appeared in Linear Technology magazine. This may result in some inconsistency in the usage
  of terminology. TABLE OF CONTENTS

  Li-Ion Charge Termination IC Interfaces with PWM Switchers
  Design Note 242
  Fran Hoffart
  Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries are rapidly becoming the battery of choice for many battery-powered
  products. These products include notebook computers, PDAs, video camcorders, digital cameras, cellular
  phones, portable test equipment and others. Compared
  to other rechargeable power sources, Li-Ion batteries
  have higher energy density for both weight and volume
  and provide longer run time between charges. tery from overtemperature and overcurrent conditions.
  In addition, battery packs may also contain back-toback MOSFET switches that disconnect the battery if
  an overcurrent condition exists for either charge or
  discharge, or if an overvoltage or undervoltage condition exists. Many of these precautions are needed
  because lithium-ion cells are easily damaged by both
  overcharge and overdischarge conditions. Charging Li-Ion batteries is a relatively simple process.
  Apply a current-limited (at a 1C rate) constant voltage
  (В±1% tolerance) for approximately three hours, then
  stop charging. (C is a battery term used to indicate
  the Ampere-hour capacity of a battery). A complete
  charge cycle may also include precharge qualification
  for battery temperature and precharge qualification for
  deeply discharged batteries. LTВ®1510 Battery Charger IC

  Low Voltage PowerPath Driver Switches from a 3.3V or 5V Supply to Battery Backup &mdash LT Journal

  DESIGN IDEAS Low Voltage PowerPath Driver
  Switches from a 3.3V or 5V
  by Peter Guan and
  Supply to Battery Backup
  Tim Skovmand
  The LTC1473L solves the problem
  of seamless power switching between
  3.3V or 5V supplies and backup battery packs (3-or 4-cell NiMH) at high
  current levels. By driving two sets of
  back-to-back N-channel MOSFET
  switches, the LTC1473L routes power
  to the input of a low voltage (3.3V to
  10V) system efficiently and inexpensively. An internal micropower boost
  regulator is included to fully enhance
  the external NMOS switches, even at
  low operating voltages. An external
  1mH inductor and 1ВµF capacitor
  charge VGG to approximately 8.5V
  above V+, providing ample drive for
  the external MOSFETs. The LTC1473L
  includes inrush-current limiting during supply switchover to produce
  smooth transitions between the DC
  supply and the battery backup and to …
