Preliminary specication
Fast charge ICs for NiCd, NiMH, SLA and
LiIon
TEA1102; TEA1102T;
TEA1102TS
To ensure an eventual load during all charging states, the
fast charge mode will be entered again if the battery
voltage drops below 15 V for SLA or 3 V for Lilon.
When charging, the standby mode (LiIon and SLA) can
only be entered after a certain period of time depending on
time-out. The same applies for charging NiCd or NiMH
batteries. To support full test of the TEA1102x at
application, the standby mode is also entered when
Vbat <Vbat(l) at fill-up or top-off respectively.
Timer
The timing of the circuit is controlled by the oscillator
frequency.
The timer block defines the maximum charging time by
‘time-out’. At a fixed oscillator frequency, the time-out time
can be adapted by the Programmable Time-out Divider
(PTD) using the following equation.

The time-out timer is put on hold by low voltage,
temperature protection and during the inhibit mode.
The Programmable Oscillator Divider (POD) enables the
oscillator frequency to be increased without affecting
the sampling time and time-out. Raising the oscillator
frequency will reduce the size of the inductive components
that are used.
At fast charging, after battery insertion, after refresh or
supply interruption, the full detector will be disabled for a
period of time to allow a proper start with flat or inverse
polarized batteries. This hold-off period is disabled at fast
charging by raising pin Vstb to above ±5 V (once).
So for test options it is possible to slip the hold-off period.
The hold-off time is defined by the following equation:
