TOP244P
TOP244P requires no external heatsink, using the PC board
instead.
Design Highlights
• Lowest cost and low component count solution
• Universal input voltage replaces the need for multiple linear
based designs
• High efficiency: >75%
• Integratedlineundervoltagedetection(UV)andovervoltage
(OV) power system surge protection
• Constant voltage / constant current (CV/CC) output
• Temperature compensated output voltage
• Monitor input to allow state of charge measurements
During the first 10 ms of operation, internal soft-start is
enabled, lowering stresses on the internal power MOSFET,
clamp and output rectifier. Built-in switching frequency jitter
reducesconductedEMI,allowingthedesigntomeetEN55022B

Lead acid batteries for standby use are normally charged at
~2.3 V per cell and 0.1 A per Ah of capacity. Resistor R1, U2,
C9, Q1, R3, R4 and R5 form the current limit circuit. Resistor
R3 controls the current limit (1.2 A typical). Resistor R5
ensures sufficient voltage to drive the opto LED, even with the
output shorted. Capacitor C9 and R4 provide compensation
and limit Q1 base current. The output voltage is controlled
using a TL431 voltage reference (U3). Resistors R7, R8, R9
and RT1 program output voltage as a function of temperature
(Figure3)toapproximatethatrequiredbythelead-acidbattery.
During CV operation, DC gain is set by R6. Capacitor C8, C5
and R10 provide loop compensation. Bias for U3 is provided
by R2.
Operation
The circuit shown in Figure 1 provides a CV/CC output for
charging lead-acid batteries in applications such as fire/burglar
alarms and emergency lighting.
The design utilizes many of the features of the TOPSwitch-GX
family. Line undervoltage and overvoltage (100 V and 450 V,
respectively) are implemented using a single resistor (R13).
Line undervoltage detection eliminates power-up/down output
glitches, while overvoltage shutdown provides protection for
short line transients and longer duration power system surges,
removingtheneedforaninputMOV. TheDIP8packageofthe
