ARD00550, UCS1002 and PIC16F1503 High Current Reference Design

ARD00550, UCS1002 and PIC16F1503 Reference Design is a fully functional universal serial bus (USB) charger compatible with a large variety of portable devices. The UCS1002 programmable port-power controller can deliver up to 2.5A charging current. Features like current monitoring and programmable charger emulation profiles make it a good candidate to be used with a PIC Microcontroller for intelligent USB charging solutions. The algorithm implemented in the PIC microcontroller applies multiple charger emulation profiles and selects the one that provides the highest current to the attached device
