Diodes Incorporated Battery Protection ICs

Single-cell rechargeable batteries typically power smartphones and wearable technology. These Battery Protection ICs are designed to comply with the manufacturer-specified tolerances on charge/discharge parameters. Failure to meet these requirements can lead to catastrophic failure, most commonly accelerated by thermal conditions. Potential fault conditions such as overvoltage or overcurrent during charging, a short-circuit on the battery terminals, or attempting to discharge the cell too rapidly can all be detected and controlled using one of Diodes Incorporated's fully integrated single-chip solutions.
