1. Benefit of the Model

• The model enables circuit designer to predict and optimize Ni-MH
battery runtime and circuit performance.

• The model can be easily adjusted to your own Ni-MH battery
specifications by editing a few parameters that are provided in the
datasheet.

• The model is optimized to reduce the convergence error and the
simulation time.


2. Model Feature

• This Ni-MH Battery Simplified SPICE Behavioral Model is for users who
require the model of a Ni-MH Battery as a part of their system.
• The model accounts for Battery Voltage(Vbat) vs. Battery Capacity Level (SOC)
Characteristic, so it can perform battery charge and discharge time at
various current rate conditions.
• As a simplified model, the effects of cycle number and temperature are
neglected.

• The model is characterized by parameters: C which represent the battery
capacity and SOC which represent the battery initial capacity level.
• Open-circuit voltage (VOC) vs. SOC is included in the model as an analog
behavioral model (ABM).
• NS (Number of Cells in series) is used when the Ni-mh cells are in series to
increase battery voltage level.


4. Parameter Settings
Model Parameters:
C is the amp-hour battery capacity [Ah]
– e.g. C = 0.3, 1.4, or 2.8 [Ah]

NS is the number of cells in series
+ - N I-M H _ B A T T E R Y – e.g. NS=1 for 1 cell battery, NS=2 for 2 cells battery
TS C A LE = 1 (battery voltage is double from 1 cell)
U 1 C = 1350M
SO C = 1 SOC is the initial state of charge in percent
N S = 1 – e.g. SOC=0 for a empty battery (0%), SOC=1 for a full
charged battery (100%)

(Default values) TSCALE turns TSCALE seconds(in the real world) into a
second(in simulation)
– e.g. TSCALE=60 turns 60s or 1min (in the real world)
into a second(in simulation), TSCALE=3600 turns 3600s
or 1h into a second.

• From the Ni-Mh Battery specification, the model is characterized by setting parameters
C, NS, SOC and TSCALE.
