The LTC
庐
4150 measures battery depletion and charging in
handheld PC and portable product applications. The de-
vice monitors current through an external sense resistor
between the battery鈥檚 positive terminal and the battery鈥檚
load or charger. A voltage-to-frequency converter trans-
forms the current sense voltage into a series of output
pulses at the interrupt pin. These pulses correspond to a
fixed quantity of charge flowing into or out of the battery.
The part also indicates charge polarity as the battery is
depleted or charged.
The LTC4150 is intended for 1-cell or 2-cell Li-Ion and
3-cell to 6-cell NiCd or NiMH applications.
