Smart Universal Battery Charger

Logic Design

A. Input & Output Variables

Input Variables a - Initial Voltage of the Battery

(0 if Vi < 4.2V , and 1 if Vi ≥ 4.2V)

b - Allowable Terminal Voltage

(0 if ∆V ≤ 0.1V , and 1 if ∆V > 0.1V)

c - Battery Temperature
(0 if 0 degree Celsius ≤ T ≤ 35 degree Celsius,
and 1 if T > 35 degree Celsius)

d - Charging Current
(0 if 0.5A ≤ Ic ≤ 1A, and 1 if Ic > 1A)

Output Variables W - Charging/Fully Charged

(0 means charging , and 1 means fully charged)

X - Circuit Connect/Disconnect
(0 indicates circuit connection, and 1 indicates
circuit disconnection)

Y - Battery Overheat Indicator

(0 when battery on normal temperature while
charging, and 1 when battery is beyond normal
charging temperature)

Z - Speed (Current Acceptance Rate)

(1 speed at its best)

Desired output device is a Smart Universal Battery Charger that is capable of

start/stop charging, acquire charging current, individual cell voltage, display charging
status as well as to provide indication of errors.
