element14’s exclusive range of Battery Supervisor and Monitor ICs has several applications, including energy storage systems, medical devices, power tools, and consumer electronics.
Battery Supervisor and Monitor ICs protect batteries from overcharging, overcurrent, deep discharge and other issues. These enhance battery longevity and reliability. Advanced battery supervisor ICs have numerous features such as real-time voltage and current monitoring, fault detection, and temperature protection. It is important to select the right IC for accurate battery performance data and safeguarding against failures, thereby boosting system efficiency.
To ensure correct operation, most microprocessor-based systems require supervision during power-up and power-down, and when entering or exiting shutdown or sleep mode.
