Product details

What this NiMH charger IC does in a battery-powered system

The DS2715Z+T&R is a full-function NiMH battery charger controller from Analog Devices, designed to charge packs of 1 to 10 series cells. It handles the charge-termination algorithm internally — looking for the negative delta voltage (ΔV) inflection that signals a full NiMH cell, plus a secondary temperature window — so the host microcontroller does not need to manage the charge profile. With a maximum supply voltage of 16.5 V, the part runs from an unregulated DC rail or a regulated 12 V bus common in portable equipment and handheld instruments.

Package and board-fit for the 16-SOIC footprint

The part is available in Tape & Reel (TR) for volume pick-and-place, or Cut Tape (CT) for prototype and low-volume builds. The reel quantity is the standard SOIC-16 carrier tape format, compatible with most feeder systems.

Lifecycle and compliance for the BOM

The device is ROHS3 Compliant, meeting the current EU RoHS exemption limits.

Frequently asked questions

What battery chemistry does the DS2715Z+T&R charge?

The DS2715Z+T&R is designed specifically for Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) cells. It uses negative delta voltage (ΔV) and temperature monitoring for charge termination — it is not compatible with Li-ion, NiCd, or lead-acid chemistries without external algorithm modification.

How many NiMH cells can the DS2715Z+T&R charge?

The DS2715Z+T&R supports charging 1 to 10 series-connected NiMH cells. The actual charge current and termination thresholds are set by external resistors and the cell count configuration pin, not by firmware.
