Seiko Instruments New S-8239B Series Extends Lithium-ion Battery Protection
NEU-ISENBURG, Germany, June 25, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
Smartphones have become a firm fixture of everyday life, with consumers demanding more
than ever from their gadgets - including longer battery life. To this end, lithium-ion
(Li-Ion) batteries can now be found in every smartphone on the market, not to mention
power tools and other high-end devices, even bicycles and cars. They make our lives more
independent and exciting. However, such powerful technology must be carefully supervised,
in order to keep operation safe and durable.
Common Li-Ion battery protection solutions monitor the voltage levels of either a
battery cell or pack to prevent overcharge or over-discharge. More sophisticated
protection solutions additionally detect critical discharge overcurrent. This further
extends battery lifetime, significantly lowering the risk of damage.
It goes without saying that protection circuits should consume relatively little power
so as not to drain the very battery that they are designed to protect. With this in mind,
Seiko Instruments has developed the S-8239B series, an overcurrent monitoring integrated
circuit (IC) for Li-Ion batteries, which has numerous advantages over existing solutions.
The S-8239B series has a built-in three-step overcurrent detection, high detection
accuracy (+/-0.015V) and very low current consumption, both in normal operation (7.0uA)
and power-down mode (0.1uA). The small IC packaging is lead- and halogen-free.
The S-8239B series is available in high-volume quantities. Samples may be obtained
from Seiko Instruments GmbH or their local representatives.
