I have a few problems with the bq2002 battery charger. I can’t understand the datasheet right and I don’t have so much experience with charging circuits. I want to charge two 1.2V cells in series, like the NiMh.
The output of the bq2002 is an open drain one and I want to use a FET as the switching element. The charge power will come from a USB socket and I don’t want to have more than 300mA of charge current. Which must be the charge voltage of the batteries?
The charge power must be from a current limited or constant current source, according to the datasheet. How I will set the USB to be a constant current source with 300mA?
