can't understand it fully (on the Vref=1.5V, this should be 2.1V?)
ok sir, we tried all your suggestions ( shunting a 47uF and 0.1uF capacitor across the supply voltage for RELAY and COMPARATOR, and shunting a Diode across Relay, and finaly, putting a 2.2kohms as hysterysis to the circuit)
we did some measurements on the circuit.
1. Power supply voltage for Relay and comparator ( so as the voltage input for Vref ) is equal to 9.484V and the Vref is equal to 2.033V ( ideally it should be 2.1V )
2. The charging voltage is 4.02V ( 2.01V as a result from 1k/1k ratio for -V of the comparator )
as i've stated on the previous post(s), at no load condition
( if the Charging voltage is 4.2V while the Vref is equal or less than the charging voltage(2.1V), the Relay switches on/off rapidly )
after putting those capacitors and diode as you've suggested on our circuit, the problem didn't removed.....
3. We observed the effects of adding hysterysis on the circuit.
at the +V of the comparator, the ratio of resistors are 1k / 270 ohms.. the supply voltage is 9.484V and it gives a Vref of 2.033V (without RH
but when the 2.2k was connected between the output and 1k/270, the Vref increased from 2.033V to 2.33V and when the comparator is off, the decreased from 2.33V to 1.895V
i don't know the computation for the Vref at ON state of the comparator, but on the OFF state of the comparator, the 2.2k was first paralleled to 270 (which is equal to 240.49ohms) and the ratio was 1k/240.49 then the Vref becomes 1.84, ** the resistors has tolerances, we didn't measure its actual resistances and 1.84 is close to 1.89V(actual Vref at OFF state)
so if the Vref increases due to 2.2k added resistor for hysteresis at ON state(2.33V) therefore the voltage required to turn off the comparator is greater than 2.33V?(4.66V, which should be 4.2V)
so this is another problem? the Vref should not be changed whether there is a hysteresis on the circuit(except for the Vref at OFF state of the comparator)
ok we used the circuit with added components as you've suggested, with a Vref of 2.33V, we tried to increase the charging voltage until it exceeds the Vref, AGAIN the Relay switches back and forth, rapidly, hence there's still a problem.
hope that all i've mentioned here is clear to you sir...
will for the reply... thanks and godbless..
