Flow Chart

Features
o o o o o o o o o Efficient charging as per area of solar panel Faster rate of Battery Charging Should Charge in Low Light as well Low Heat dissipation Applicable to Various Mobile Battery types Lesser Components thereby Reducing Cost Indications for proper input & output Compact & Attractive Light Weight

Essentials for Development

A solar panel of desired rating 6 Volt , 300 mA solar cells are very common & easily available. A Voltage converter Works on DC voltage. Regulates the input. Provide fixed Voltage to the battery.

Essentials for Development cntd..

Reverse Battery Drainage Protection Stops battery from draining when input is less than battery voltage

A Device for Protection from Variations in Input Voltage (Ripple) Stabilize Input Voltage Protect from High Intensity Pulses

Essentials for Development cntd..

Indication for valid input & output Can be any indicating mechanism Also for indicating valid output Compact assembly Convenient usability Sturdy product casing Convenient for travelling

Options for Mobile Charger

o Voltage Regulation can be achieved using Fixed Voltage regulators like LM 7805 series.

o Adjustable Voltage Regulators like LM317, LM338 and more provide precise output level.

Disadvantages of Above Methods

o Both of the mentioned techniques have low conversion efficiency. o Lot of energy is wasted as heat. o Heat sink is compulsory. o Bulky charger design

Switching Voltage Regulator

o DC to DC conversion is achievable from 3 volts to 40 volts. o IC MC 34063 series varies its output in accordance to desired voltage level. o High conversion efficiency up to 60%. o Extra input power is utilized as output current. o Negligible heat dissipation avoiding heat sink. o Compact charger design is achievable.

Features of MC 34063A
o o o o o o o Wide operating range. Higher efficiency than other regulators. Heat sink not required reducing further losses. Low stand by current. Can perform step-down, step-up & voltage inversion . Current limiting available. Flexible and compact designing achievable .
