Lead-Acid Battery Charger Becomes A Subfunction In A Microcontroller

Focus:

To create an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), this circuit uses a small portion of a microcontroller (and little processor time) and some external discrete components to implement a lead-acid battery charger and power source switch.

What you’ll learn:

• How to build a lead-acid battery charger controlled by a system's existing microcontroller
• How to build a simple UPS with 5-V output
• UPSs
