Abstract
A charging control circuit for severe battery conditions and an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system including same are presented. The charging control circuit utilizes both hardware and microprocessor control to allow the UPS to start with depleted or no batteries installed. Initially, the hardware control loops regulate DC bus voltage generation to charge the batteries to a safe level to allow the UPS housekeeping circuitry to wake up and assume control of the UPS operation. Once the microprocessor has awoken, it assumes control of the DC bus and charging of the batteries. If no batteries are installed, the hardware control loop utilizes a fast responding voltage mode control to regulate the DC bus, while a microprocessor-based current mode control is used when batteries are installed. Hardware over voltage control and microprocessor shut off control is also provided.
