LTC4150 Coulomb Counter/ Battery Gas Gauge FEATURESDESCRIPTION n Indicates Charge Quantity and Polarity The LTC®4150 measures battery depletion and charging n ±50mV Sense Voltage Range in handheld PC and portable product applications. The n Precision Timer Capacitor or Crystal Not Required device monitors current through an external sense resistor n 2.7V to 8.5V Operation between the battery’s positive terminal and the battery’s n High Side Sense load or charger. A voltage-to-frequency converter trans- n 32.55Hz/V Charge Count Frequency forms the current sense voltage into a series of output n 1.5μA Shutdown Current pulses at the interrupt pin. These pulses correspond to a n 10-Pin MSOP Package fi xed quantity of charge fl owing into or out of the battery. The part also indicates charge polarity as the battery is APPLICATIONS depleted or charged. The LTC4150 is intended for 1-cell or 2-cell Li-Ion and n Battery Chargers 3-cell to 6-cell NiCd or NiMH applications. n Palmtop Computers and PDAs n Cellular Telephones and Wireless Modems L, LT, LTC, LTM, Linear Technology, the Linear logo, Burst Mode are registered trademarks and ThinSOT and PowerPath are trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation.
