Abstract
An electronic system, a multiple charger configuration, and method of operating a multiple input, multiple charger configuration are disclosed. For example, a multiple charger configuration is disclosed, which includes a first battery charger circuit configured to receive to a first input voltage, and a second battery charger circuit configured to receive a second input voltage. A first switching transistor is coupled to an output of the first battery charger circuit, a system voltage output terminal, and a battery terminal configured to connect to a battery stack or at least one battery cell. A second switching transistor is coupled to an output of the second battery charger circuit and the battery terminal. Thus, the multiple chargers can be utilized in one system to charge or discharge a battery stack or at least one battery cell and thereby deliver power for a battery-operated system, product or device.
