A controller includes a first circuit that receives first and second input signals and generates an output pulse based on the first and second input signals. A timer circuit of the controller generates the first input signal for the first circuit. A second circuit of the controller generates the second input signal for the first circuit. In response to the second input signal being set to a first value, smaller than a second value, the first circuit sets the output pulse to the second value and start a first duration. In response to the second input signal being set to the second value and the first input signal changing from the first value to the second value, the first circuit sets the output pulse to the first value to end the first duration and start a second duration such that the second duration is maintained more than a time limit.

Robust low power standby controller for wearable and healthcare supply modules

A battery charger controller is coupled to DC output terminals of an AC-DC (or DC-DC) adapter containing an AC-DC (or DC-DC) converter. A controlled current flow path between input and output terminals of the battery charger controller circuit is controlled to provide a substantially constant current to charge the battery to a nominal battery voltage. When a constant voltage output of the said adapter transitions to a value that limits available charging current to a value less than programmed constant charging current, current flow drive for the controlled current flow path is increased for a limited time interval. Thereafter, the controlled current flow path gradually reduces charging current as the battery voltage remains at its nominal battery voltage until the charge is complete or otherwise terminated.
