Integrated analogue front ends slash component count for cell balancing and overcurrent protection in multiple-cell Li-ion battery packs.
Intersil reckons its single-chip ISL9208 and ISL9216/17 chipset are the industry's first integrated analogue front ends for cell balancing and overcurrent protection in multiple-cell Li-ion battery packs These devices can replace up to 17 FETs, 12 diodes, 53 resistors and 31 capacitors in some designs, and will simplify designs for multicell battery powered packs for applications ranging from power tools to hybrid automotive vehicles
