DESCRIPTION
The Cigar Lighter Adapter VINCENT has been
designed for charging NiMH and NiCd batteries in
hand held mobile phones. VINCENT is a cost ef-
fective high efficiency DC/DC switching mode
current generator. At low current, the charger be-
haves like a constant voltage generator. The out-
put voltage and current levels are set up by de-
sign in accordance with customer requirements.

Typical reference values in this data sheet are
8V, 600 mA. Line input variation in the range
10.8-16 Vdc.
Coming into the ST original "Charlie" housing,
VINCENT has been designed to fit most popular
car cigar lighter receptacles thanks to its very pe-
culiar tip shape and architecture.
Upon request, for high volume market, a custom
tailored housing can be designed, sharing the
same peculiar Charlie tip.
Optionally, an LED (green or red) can be assem-
bled to acknowledge input DC power connection.
AGENCY Approvals
The charger is certified by competent agencies to
comply with European EM requirements, includ-
ing but not limited to ETS300-342-1, UL2089 and
