Theory and Applications of
the NCP1294, Switching
Controller, and Associated
Circuits for Lead Acid
Battery Charging from a
Solar Panel with Maximum
Peak Power Tracking
(MPPT)
Introduction
The following paper describes in detail the principle
operation of the NCP1294, switching controller, and
associated circuits for lead acid battery charging with
MPPT. A design example and test data are included.
The NCP1294 solar controller is a flexible solution used
in Module Level Power Management (MLPM) solutions.
Background and System Requirements
Most of the solar controller battery chargers on the market
today have a large digital content namely to manage
maximum power point tracking and battery charging. The
manipulation of the power stage, MPPT, and battery
management can be controlled with analog circuitry in a cost
effective manner. The solar controller parameters for the
NCP1294 design are listed below in tabular form.
