Analog Devices Inc. LTC3337 Primary Battery State of Health (SOH) Monitor provides accurate, real-time readings of battery cell discharge, voltage, impedance, and temperature. The LTC3337 is designed to be placed in series with a primary battery with minimal associated series voltage drop. This device integrates an infinite dynamic range coulomb counter that tallies all accumulated battery discharge […]

BQ27220 – Single cell pack/system-side CEDV battery fuel (gas) gauge w/pre-programmed chemistry profiles


https://www.electronics-lab.com/bq27220-single-cell-pack-system-side-cedv-battery-fuel-gas-gauge-w-pre-programmed-chemistry-profiles/

The Texas Instruments bq27220 battery fuel gauge is a single-cell gauge that requires minimal user configuration and system microcontroller firmware development, leading to quick system bring-up. The bq27220 device uses the Compensated End-of-Discharge Voltage (CEDV) algorithm for fuel gauging and provides information such as remaining battery capacity (mAh), state-of-charge (%), runtime-to-empty (min), battery voltage (mV), […]

Texas Instruments bq25960 Parallel Battery Charger


https://www.electronics-lab.com/texas-instruments-bq25960-parallel-battery-charger/

Texas Instruments bq25960 Parallel Battery Charger is a 98.1% peak efficiency, 8A battery charging solution using switch capacitor architecture for a 1-cell Li-ion battery. The switched cap architecture allows the cable current to be half the charging current, reducing the cable power loss, and limiting temperature rise. The dual-phase architecture increases charging efficiency and reduces […]

Circuit provides reverse-battery connection protection


https://www.electronics-lab.com/circuit-provides-reverse-battery-connection-protection/

A universal problem in battery-operated devices is the threat of damage when an end-user (never an engineer) inserts the battery backward. You can avoid damage by inserting a single diode or by using a diode-bridge configuration, but those fixes waste power and reduce the supply voltage by adding one or two diode drops between the […]
