ac Step-Down Regulator and Battery Charger
The dc step-down regulator takes the output from ac/dc conversion stage (24-62
Vdc) and converts it to 16.6 Vdc. The battery charge circuit charges the sealed lead
acid battery anytime ac power is supplied.
A Schottky Diode provides uninterrupted-power-supply (UPS) function during ac-
powered to battery powered transitions. When ac power is interrupted, the switch-
over between ac and Battery is automatic. When ac power is off, this diode also
works as a reverse blocking device preventing the battery from being drained by
the regulator circuitry.
Synchronous step-down regulator
Lead acid battery charge controller
The battery charge circuit charges the sealed lead acid battery anytime ac power
is supplied. This circuit is based on the Unitrode UC3906 charger controller which
monitors and controls both the charging voltage and current through three sepa-
rate charge states:
• a high current bulk-charge state,
• a controlled over-charge,
and
• a precision float-charge.
This sequence maximizes battery capacity and life while minimizing charge time.
Switch over circuitry detects the presence or loss of ac supplied power and provide
an automatic and transparent transition to AC or battery power.
