EVALUATION KIT AVAILABLE
MAX17320
2S-4S ModelGauge m5 EZ Fuel Gauge with Protector, Internal Self-Discharge Detection,
and SHA-256 Authentication
General Description
The MAX17320 is a 38μA IQ stand-alone pack-side fuel gauge IC with protector, battery internal self-discharge detection, and optional SHA-256 authentication for 2 to 4 series lithium-ion/polymer batteries.
The IC monitors the voltage, current, temperature and state of the battery to provide protection against over/undervoltage, overcurrent, short-circuit, over/undertemperature, overcharge, and internal self-discharge conditions using external high-side N-FETs, and provides charging prescription to ensure that the battery operates under safe conditions, thereby prolonging the life of the battery.
