The DS2715 demonstration board allows the user to explore all features of the DS2715 NiMH charge controller. The demo board is populated for either linear-mode operation or switch-mode operation. The default configuration for the linear mode kit charges a 3-cell stack at an approximately 0.5A charge rate with a 130-minute timeout. The default configuration for the switch-mode kit charges a 3-cell stack at an approximately 1.0A charge rate with a 70-minute timeout.
