SM6781BV
NIPPON PRECISION CIRCUITS INC.
Ni-MH/Ni-Cd Battery Charger IC
OVERVIEW
The SM6781BV is a quick charge control IC for Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) and Nickel-Cadmium (NiCd)
rechargeable batteries. Quick charging ends in response to negative delta voltage detection (–
∆
V) and maxi-
mum charging time detection functions. Also, quick charge mode is placed on hold if the battery voltage
becomes abnormal, until normal conditions are restored. The SM6781BV requires few external components to
realize a high-stability quick charge battery charger.

PIN DESCRIPTION
Timer mode select input (3-level)
HIGH and LOW levels applied using pull-up and pull-down, respectively. MID-level is applied using a
voltage divider resistor network with voltage VDD/2.
Charge status display LED driver output (open-drain output)
LOW-level output in quick charge mode. 1Hz pulse output when abnormal battery voltage is detected
during quick charge. High impedance when charging finishes.
Battery voltage detector input.
Connect a high-impedance resistor voltage divider between the poles of the battery for voltage detection.

Inhibit input
Charging operation is stopped when HIGH. Charging recommences with the same charging parameters
when INH goes LOW again.
Charge control (open-drain output)
High impedance output when charging current is flowing. LOW-level output when charging current stops.
