BATTERY CHARGE CURRENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND RELATED INTEGRATED CIRCUIT

Abstract:

A battery charge current management system used for charging battery packs. The battery charge current management system has a voltage converting circuit and at least one switch module. The voltage converting circuit can operate at a charge mode or a discharge mode. The voltage converting circuit can serve to provide a master charge current signal to supply a system load and charge battery packs when it operates at the charge mode. The voltage converting circuit further controls the at least one switch module to provide at least one additional charge current signal to supply the system load and charge battery packs.
