I'm using the LM5166 (Fixed 5V) version, the data sheet suggests to use a tantalum or aluminium capacitors for the input capacitor. The data sheet says that the capacitors is selected mainly because of its RMS current rating and Voltage rating. A higher capacitance just helps in case there's a...
Can't route from the 'IN' pad of the MP2672A li-ion battery charger IC. The pad is too small. How to fix this? I'm worried if the footprint itself is wrong.
I want to use a dual LED in my schematic. The dual LED used is common anode. The LEDs should be controlled by a single pin from a battery charger IC. At one event the pin is pulled low, LED 1 should be ON. At another event, the pin open-drained. I've connected a 10k ohm resistor from my common...
I want to use the TPS63002 for a project. This IC has two ground pins, power ground and control ground. I understand that the power ground is a return path for the high current switching transistors and the control ground is a reference for the error amplifiers and other digital logic stuff. But...
No, they didn't talk about an actual use for this design, and I don't think they meant to, I think they just want to see how I approach a problem that isn't very common. I mean, no one simply connects batteries with different charges in parallel, right?
The objective was not balancing the packs, it was simply about getting a voltage output (constant, ignoring the decrease over time due depleting battery charge). Balancing the packs was an idea that I thought of. Anyhow thanks for your opinion✌️
At first, I tried to balance the batteries, using a safe amount of current through resistors, but that idea was rejected, because I was generating too much heat, so no resistors, so I'm thinking of choosing your idea of diodes. `thanks
Two battery packs with 4 cells in series, each pack has a different voltage, I need to connect the two of them in parallel and without the batteries blowing up, or heating too much, I need a, output voltage.
