LP3945/LP3946 Battery Charge Management System
General Description
The LP3945 and LP3946 are complete charge management systems that safely charge and maintain a Li-Ion battery or a four-cell Ni-MH (LP3945 only) battery pack. The LP3945 offers the flexibility of programming charge current, battery regulation voltage (4.1V/4.2V), battery type (Li-Ion/Ni-MH), and End Of Charge (EOC) termination through the use of I2C interface. On the LP3946, these parameters are programmed at the factory per customer specification. The pass transistor, charge current sensing resistor and charge current setting resistors are all integrated inside the LP3945 and LP3946.
