i used the max712. it works very well and all info you need is in the datasheet. you can get free samples from maxim. tino Tim Box Gesendet von: pic microcontroller discussion list 02.05.03 14:34 Bitte antworten an pic microcontroller discussion list An: PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU Kopie: Thema: [EE]: NmHi charger chip recommendation required Hi All Can any body recommend a battery charger chip to charge 4 AA NmHi 2000ma batteries (4.8v total)? I can feed it any voltage required 3 to 12 volts and if necessary it can be current limited (rather not though as no room for a heat sink). I would like it to have an output to indicate charging, full and top/up. It would be nice to also have a signal if no or duff battery Lastly not to expensive and not to many ancillary components Many many thanks Tim -- http://www.piclist.com hint: PICList Posts must start with ONE topic: [PIC]:,[SX]:,[AVR]: ->uP ONLY!
