FEATURES

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

•

Safe Management of Fast Charge for NiCd,

NiMH, or Li-Ion Battery Packs

The bq2000 is a programmable, monolithic IC for

fast-charge management of nickel cadmium (NiCd),

•

High-Frequency Switching Controller for

nickel metal-hydride (NiMH), or lithium-ion (Li-Ion)

Efficient and Simple Charger Design

batteries in single- or multi-chemistry applications.

•

Pre-Charge Qualification for Detecting

The bq2000 chooses the proper battery chemistry

Shorted, Damaged, or Overheated Cells
