GENERAL DESCRIPTION
A low-power 16-bit MAXQ20 microcontroller with generous program and data memory, combined with an accurate measurement system for battery current, voltage, and temperature provide the ideal platform for customized fuelgauge algorithms. EEPROM data memory supports nonvolatile in-pack storage of charge parameters, cell characteristics, usage history, and manufacturing/lot tracking data. An autonomous state machine performs voltage, current, and temperature related protection functions. This capability increases reliability of the whole system by eliminating dependence on the CPU for protection. FEATURES
