Title: Design a basic mobile charger circuit with
overcharging protection.
Date: 07/11/2024
Abstract:
document presents the design of a basic mobile charger circuit with overcharging protection,
aimed at ensuring safe and efficient charging for lithium-ion batteries commonly used in mobile
devices. The circuit integrates three main sections: AC to DC conversion, voltage regulation, and
overcharging protection. The AC to DC conversion is achieved using a step-down transformer, a
bridge rectifier, and a filter capacitor to smooth the output, providing a stable DC voltage. A 5V
voltage regulator (LM7805) is then employed to step down the DC voltage to the required 5V
output for charging mobile devices. To prevent damage from overcharging, the overcharging
protection is implemented using an LM393 comparator, which monitors the battery voltage. The
comparator compares the battery voltage to a preset threshold (typically 4.2V for lithium-ion
batteries). If the battery voltage exceeds the threshold, the comparator triggers an N-channel
MOSFET to disconnect the charging current, thus preventing overcharge. When the battery
voltage drops below the threshold, the MOSFET is re-engaged, allowing the charging process to
resume. This design provides a basic but reliable charging solution with built-in overcharge
protection, ensuring both the longevity of the battery and the safety of the charging process.
Future enhancements could include current limiting, thermal protection, or compliance with
advanced charging standards like USB Type-C.
