ANALOG DEVICES LTC4020EUHF High Power Buck-Boost Multi-Chemistry Battery

Charger

DESCRIPTION

Demonstration circuit 2134B is a high-power buck-boost multi-chemistry battery charger featuring the LTC®4020. The board will accept an input voltage between 15V and 55V. The float voltage of the battery output (BAT) is 25.2V, with a 6.3A maximum charge current. The converter out-put (VOUT) has a voltage range of 21V to 28V, with 8A maximum load current. The LTC4020 contains a high- efficiency synchronous buck-boost DC/DC controller and uses a proprietary average current mode architecture. The LTC4020 battery charger can provide a constant-current/constant-voltage charge algorithm (CC/CV); a four-step, three-stage lead-acid battery-charge profile or constant-current charging (CC). Battery-chemistry type is selected using onboard jumper JP1. The LTC4020 data sheet gives a complete description of the IC operation and application information. The data sheet must be read in conjunction with this quick-start guide.
Design files for this circuit board are available.

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY Specifications are at TA = 25°C

QUICK START PROCEDURE

Demonstration circuit 2134B is easy to set up to evaluate the performance of the LTC4020. Refer to Figure 1 for the proper measurement equipment setup and follow the procedure below.
NOTE: Make sure that the voltage applied to VIN does not exceed 55V. The combined converter output load current and battery charging current should not exceed 8A.

1. With power off, connect the input power supply (set for 0V) to VIN and GND (input return).
2. Connect the converter output load between VOUT and GND (Initial load: no load).
3. Connect the DVMs to the input and outputs.
4. Turn on the input power supply and slowly increase to 24V. Check for the proper output voltages, VOUT of 25.2V and BAT of 25.2V.
5. Once the proper output voltages are established, adjust the converter output load within the operating range (8A maximum) and/or adjust the input voltage (15V to 55V) and observe the output voltage regulation, ripple voltage, efficiency, and other parameters.

NOTE: When measuring the output or input voltage ripple, do not use the long ground lead on the oscilloscope probe. See Figure 2 for the proper scope probe technique. Short, stiff leads need to be soldered to the (+) and (–) terminals of an output capacitor. The probe’s ground ring needs to touch the (–) lead and the probe tip needs to touch the (+) lead.

WARNING:

BE CAREFUL WHEN TESTING WITH HIGH VOLTAGE. HIGH VOLTAGE CAN RESULT IN AN ELECTRIC SHOCK IF CARE IS NOT TAKEN.
BATTERIES ARE POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS HIGH-ENERGY SOURCES. IMPROPER CONNECTION, OVERCHARGE, OR RAPID DISCHARGE COULD RESULT IN EXPLOSION AND/OR FIRE. PLEASE READ THE SPECIFICATION/MANUAL OF THE BATTERY BEFORE TEST.

Additional Notes

1. Without a proper battery, BAT output can be opened or connected with other suitable loads for test purposes. It may be a good practice to add low ESR electrolytic capacitors to the BAT output (≥1000μF at ≥35V, for 25.2V float voltage). Note that these capacitors help simulate the low impedance of a battery and maintain the stability of the charge current loop. They are only needed for test purposes with electronic or resistive loads, and not needed in the actual battery application/test (where the BAT load is a battery).
2. The 0Ω, 2512 jumper (R41) in series with the inductor can be removed and a wire loop can be added in its place to facilitate the use of a current probe.
3. BAT float voltage can be easily adjusted with the resistor divider R44/R45. Converter output voltage VOUT can be adjusted with the resistor divider R9/R11. Adjust/optimize the loop compensations if necessary.
