Abstract
An apparatus includes a digital battery charger. The digital battery charger includes an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) to convert a terminal voltage of a battery to a first digital signal. The digital battery charger further includes a digital controller coupled to the ADC to receive the first digital signal and provide a set of control signals. The digital battery charger further includes a current digital-to-analog converter (IDAC) coupled to the digital controller to receive the set of control signals and to provide a battery charging current signal.
