is the characteristic seen if the voltage feedback threshold is
above the output voltage at the inherent CC to CV transition
point also indicated in Figure 7.
Figure 8 shows a case where the voltage feedback threshold
is set below the voltage at the inherent CC to CV transition
point. In this case, as the output voltage rises, the secondary
feedback circuit takes control before the inherent CC to CV
transition occurs. In an actual battery charging application, this
simply limits the output voltage to a lower value. However, in
laboratory bench tests, it is often more convenient to test the
power supply output characteristic starting from a low output
current and gradually increasing the load. In this case, the

optocoupler feedback regulates the output voltage until the
peak output power curve is reached as shown in Figure 8. Under
these conditions, the output current will continue to rise until the
peak power point is reached and the optocoupler turns off. Once
the optocoupler is off, the CONTROL pin feedback current is
determined only by R1 and the output current therefore folds
back to the inherent CC characteristic as shown. Since this type
of load transition does not normally occur in a battery charger,
the output current never overshoots the inherent constant current
value in the actual application.
In some applications it may be necessary to avoid any output
current overshoot, independent of the direction of load variation.
