mode (high for charge, and low for discharge). An analog output,

VCTRL, interfaces directly with the Analog Devices, Inc., ADP1972 pulse-width modulation (PWM) control er.
APPLICATIONS
The AD8451 simplifies designs by providing excellent accuracy,
Battery cell formation and testing
performance over temperature, flexibility with functionality,
Battery module testing
and overall reliability in a space-saving package. The AD8451 is available in an 80-lead, 14 mm × 14 mm × 1.40 mm LQFP and is rated for an operating temperature of −40°C to +85°C.
