Microchip has announced the availability of a new digitally enhanced power analogue (DEPA) controller designed to regulate current, regulate voltage, and monitor temperature. The device improves digital support for battery charging and is ideal for DC-DC conversion in server, consumer, industrial and automotive applications.
The MCP19124/5 handles configurable charging algorithms for any chemistry, with capabilities for cell balancing and super-capacitor charging. No other single-chip battery-charging solution can be configured with any desired charging profile, for any battery chemistry, voltage, or cell arrangement. Users may develop their own unique charging methods and implement them as well. Any voltage, current, temperature, or duration can be used to trigger a transition to a new portion of the charge profile.
These devices are also well suited for any DC-DC application requiring tight voltage or current regulation; capable of supporting flyback, boost, SEPIC, or Cuk topologies.
