The DV2003S1 Development System provides a develop-
ment environment for the bq2003 Fast-Charge IC. The
DV2003S1 incorporates a bq2003 and a buck-type
switch-mode regulator to provide fast charge control for
2 to 16 NiCd or NiMH cells.

The fast charge is terminated by any of the following:
∆T/∆t, -∆V, maximum temperature, maximum time,
maximum voltage, or an external inhibit command.
Jumper settings select the -∆V enabled state, and the
hold-off, top-off, and maximum time limits.

TM1 setting
The user provides a power supply and batteries. The
user configures the DV2003S1 for the number of cells,
-∆V charge termination and maximum charge time (with
or without top-off), and commands the discharge-before-
charge option with the push-button switch S1.
