Technical Examples
  1. A battery charger with a discrete switched regulator provides relatively high efficiency and relatively low cost. Unlike known battery chargers which incorporate switched regulator ICs, the battery charger in accordance with the present invention utilizes the microprocessor for a dual function. In particular, the microprocessor not only controls the charging characteristics of the battery charging circuit but also directly controls the power output of the battery charger by direct control of the discrete switched regulator circuit. By using a discrete switched regulator circuit and redefining the role of the microprocessor, the battery charger in accordance with the present invention is relatively less expensive than known battery chargers which incorporate switched regulator ICs.
