The battery charger is modular and reconfigurable. It includes charging
modular power stages that are configured to receive an alternating
current (AC) input and provide a direct current (DC) output for charging
a battery. These modular power stages include an inverter coupled to a
rectifier circuit that outputs a battery charging current. The modular
power stages can also each include a current mode controller coupled to
the output of the rectifier circuit and configured to provide a current
control signal for the modular power stage, a voltage mode controller
coupled to the output of the rectifier circuit and configured to provide
a voltage control signal for the modular power stage, and a droop sharing
control and configured to ensure current sharing between a plurality of
modular power stages under constant voltage operation. A system
controller is configured to interface with the modular power stages.
