APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

ANALOG CONTROLLER

This section describes how to use the AD8452 in the context of

a battery formation and test system and includes design

examples.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

The AD8452 is a precision analog front end and controller for

battery formation and test systems. Such systems are differentiated

from typical battery charger or battery management systems by

the high level of voltage and current measurement precision

required to optimize Li-Ion batteries for capacity and energy

density. Figure 49 shows the analog signal path of a simplified

switching battery formation and test system using the AD8452

controller.

The AD8452 is suitable for systems that test and form Li-Ion

and the legacy NiCad and NiMH electrolyte batteries. The

output is a digital format (PWM), designed to drive a switching

power output stage.

The AD8452 includes the following blocks (see Figure 33 and

the Theory of Operation section for more information):

•

A fixed gain in-amp that senses low-side or high-side

battery current.

•

A fixed gain difference amplifier that measures the

terminal voltage of the battery.

•

Two loop filter error amplifiers that receive the battery target

current and voltage and establish the dynamics of the CC and

CV feedback loops.

•

A minimum output selector circuit that combines the outputs

of the loop filter error amplifiers to perform automatic CC

to CV switching.

•

A PWM with high- and low-side half bridge logic level

outputs suitable for driving a MOSFET gate driver.

•

A 2.5 V reference whose output node is the VREF pin.

•

A logic input pin (MODE) that switches the controller

configuration between charge mode (high) and discharge

mode (low).
