An integrated circuit is disclosed including a primary input for receiving an input voltage, a battery voltage input for receiving a battery voltage signal and an output for providing an output voltage higher than the battery voltage. First circuitry responsive to the input voltage is provided for turning off the output voltage responsive to an input over voltage condition. Second circuitry responsive to the battery voltage signal is provided for turning off the output voltage responsive to a battery over voltage condition. Third circuitry provides for over current protection.

Over voltage and over current protection integrated circuit

An apparatus and method for disabling a charging counter circuitry within a battery charger is disclosed. The apparatus includes circuitry connected to a pin associated with the charging counter circuitry of the battery charger, said circuitry receiving a signal from a device connected to the battery charger. The circuitry disables the charging counter circuitry responsive to a signal from the device at a first level and enables the charging counter circuitry responsive to the signal from the device at a second level.
