DS2715 is unique compared to other charging ICs in that it provides charging and discharging paths for the battery pack through a single transistor. This feature, combined with the ability to charge up to 10 batteries, makes it an ideal charging solution for a variety of battery-powered devices. This application note explains how the DS2715 controls the regulation transistor and describes the adjustments designers should make when optimizing circuits for DS2715 applications. This article first discusses in detail a typical application circuit of a 3-cell battery pack. Subsequently, two alternative circuits are also introduced: a modified circuit that connects the DS2715 to a discontinuous load, and a circuit that powers the load directly from the battery.
