ETA3001
Inductive Cell Balancer IC with Balancing Current Up to 2A
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
ETA3001 is an inductive cell balancer. Unlike conventional passive balancing technique, ETA3001 utilizes a control scheme with an inductor to shuffle currents between two cells until the cells are balanced. Due to the switching nature, the heat and power dissipation generated in conventional linear balance technique are greatly reduced. The balance time is also significantly reduced due to higher balancing current not being limited by package thermal dissipation.
ETA3001 consumes only 2µA ultra-low current from batteries in standby mode, extending the battery shelf time.
