S-8232AKFT-T2-G

PMIC - Battery Management

The S-8232AKFT-T2-G is a battery management IC (Integrated Circuit) specifically designed for the effective management of Lithium-ion, Li-polymer, and Nickel-Cadmium cell-rechargeable battery packs. It is a single-cell solution with a hybrid structure containing both analog and digital functions. This battery management IC integrates several features, making it suitable for use in a wide variety of applications, including but not limited to portable devices, medical devices, and automotive applications.

In general, the main function of a battery management IC is to protect the battery from over-charging, over-discharging, short-circuiting, and other hazards that can damage the battery or even cause fires or explosions. The S-8232AKFT-T2-G is capable of performing these functions and more, delivering excellent performance when combined with the appropriate battery type.

The S-8232AKFT-T2-G contains several functional blocks, and it is divided into two parts, namely the analog and digital sections. The analog section is responsible for measuring the battery voltage and other parameters such as current and temperature, while the digital section performs several protection-related functions, including programmable voltage and current limiters, over-charge/discharge prevention circuitry, and so on.

The voltage and current limiters protect the battery from overcharging and over-discharging by automatically adjusting the limits based on user-defined criteria. Additionally, they offer a shut-down protection if the battery voltage drops below a certain level. This shut-down protection prevents the battery from sustaining damage by preventing excessive discharging.

The S-8232AKFT-T2-G also provides charge current regulation, as well as a pre-charging feature that prevents the battery from being drained completely before it starts recharging. Additionally, it supports a reverse charge prevention function to ensure that the battery is disconnected from the power source when it is completely discharged. Furthermore, it also supports deep-discharge protection, which prevents the battery from being discharged beyond its recommended level and protects it against inability to hold a full charge.

Apart from the protection-related functions, the S-8232AKFT-T2-G also offers battery-related information, such as voltage and temperature, that can be used by the application to intelligently manage the battery. Additionally, it supports remote sensing, allowing the application to accurately measure the cell voltage without the need for physical connections.

The S-8232AKFT-T2-G is suitable for a wide variety of applications that require effective battery management, such as portable devices, medical devices, and automotive applications. Additionally, its wide operating temperature range and low operating power consumption give the battery manager the ability to accommodate harsh environmental conditions and extend battery life. In conclusion, the S-8232AKFT-T2-G is a high performance, reliable battery management IC that is suitable for use in a wide variety of battery-powered applications.
