Hello,
I am wanting to make a super safe, nimh/nicd smart battery charger. After looking around, I've decided to use the DS2714 chip for my design. If you have any other chip suggestions, please let me know.
**broken link removed**
I think I pretty much have the schematic of how to get the DS2714 working, except for the current source. I found no information on the current source in the data sheet, except "current source". Does anyone know what current rating my current source should be? Also, I will be using a regulated 5V to power this charger, how can I turn that into a current source?
Thanks!
