The main theme of this paper is to present a new digital-controlled technique for battery charger to achieve constant current and voltage control while not requiring current feedback. The basic idea is to achieve constant current charging control by limiting the duty cycle of charger. Therefore, the current feedback signal is not required and thereby reducing the cost of A/D converter, current sensor, and computation complexity required for current control. Moreover, when the battery voltage is increased to the preset voltage level using constant current charge, the charger changes the control mode to constant voltage charge. A digital-controlled charger is designed and implemented for uninterrupted power supply (UPS) applications. The charger control is based upon the proposed control method in software. As a result, the UPS control, including boost converter, charger, and inverter control can be realized using only one low cost MCU. Experimental results demonstrate that the effectiveness of the design and implementation.
