(San Jose,
CA) An integrated circuit (I.C.) that is
used for power management, has three common ways, in which it can be referred
to. The first way is, power management
integrated circuit. The second way is,
the acronym P.M.I.C. The third way is,
the acronym P.M.U. The latter and
coincidentally, is also, a reference to the power management integrated circuit
unit. On the electrical device, a
P.M.I.C. is found as a chip, or, as a module on a system on a chip device. For the most part, a primary role is being a
DC/DC converter. A secondary role, is
decreasing the amount of battery space that, is required to properly make the
battery operated device work. A modern
smart telephone, is a perfect example, of the previously said. Recently; Maxim Integrated Products, Inc.
announced that, it is familiar with an integrated circuit that, is used for
power management. Specifically, the
aforementioned business revealed that, it has launched two battery protector
power management integrated circuits.
Technically, the names are; the MAX17301, and, the MAX17311. Additionally, both are one cell fuel gauges.
The
two one cell fuel gauges, power management integrated circuits; the MAX17301
and the MAX17311 are Maxim’s most recent technology solution, for lithium-ion
batteries. Therefore, the MAX17301 and
the MAX17311 are highlighted, by the following.
Configurable settings, counterfeit protection and cloning protection
highlight Maxim’s most recent P.M.I.C.s.
However and returning to, a power management integrated circuit, the
aforementioned performs various functions.
Additionally, these functions are related to power requirements. The various functions are; DC to DC
conversion, battery charging, power-source selection, voltage scaling, power
sequencing and other types of miscellaneous functions. Overall, a power management integrated
circuit is a solid state device that, controls electrical power. The control of electrical power means flow,
and, direction. Second; flow and
direction is also another of saying that, an electrical device has numerous
types of internal voltages, along with, different types of sources of external
power. The point is, a power management
integrated circuit assists, with the power design of the electrical
device. This is true, because, an
electrical device has numerous power requirements, which have to be met, in
order to have successful device operations.
Furthermore, successful progression of the power management integrated
circuit, does equal, successful progression of the electrical device
design.
Returning
to, the MAX17301 and the MAX17311, the aforementioned come with Maxim’s Model
Gauge m5 EZ algorithm. The latter, is
capable of a high state of charge accuracy that, is 40% better than any
competitor. Additionally, Maxim’s Model
Gauge m5 EZ algorithm eliminates the need to have a battery
characterization. As previously said,
the MAX17301 and the MAX17311 are one cell fuel gauges. These one cell fuel gauges, are also capable
of providing, a 2 level lithium ion battery protection. Overall, the MAX17301 and the MAX17311 are
set apart by the following three key advantages. The three key advantages are; advanced
battery protection, highest accuracy and lowest IQ. In reference
to, advanced battery protection, the aforementioned is charging and
discharging. Specifically, it ensures
safe charging and discharging, in a wide range of applications. There is also a 2 level lithium-ion battery
protector that; controls against abnormal voltage, current and temperature
conditions. The included SHA-256
authentication feature, protects against counterfeiting and cloning. In reference to, highest accuracy, the
aforementioned is the best state of charge accuracy. The feature, Cycle+ age forecasting provides
prediction, of the remaining battery life.
The latter is specific for battery replacement, or, for the control of
fast charging. In reference to, lowest IQ, the aforementioned is
meant to support the life of the electrical device. For example, it lengthens the product’s shelf
life, along with, the runtime of operations.
This is due to an IQ
of 24µA when active. When the electrical
device, is set to low power use, it is 18µA.
Kevin
Anderson is a Senior Analyst for Power I.C.s at IHS Markit. Through a press statement, Mr. Anderson said
the following. “The battery monitoring
and protection market topped $2B in 2018.
Safety is paramount in battery-powered electronic systems and critical
to their continued growth.”
To
end, Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. (NASDAQ: MXIM) did release a press
statement. Bakul Damle is the Business
Management Director of the Mobile Power Business Unit at Maxim Integrated
Products, Inc. Through a press
statement, Mr. Damle said the following.
“Ensuring that their batteries are reliable and safe is one of the
foremost considerations for portable electronics system engineers. Maxim has simplified this essential function
by not only providing the most advanced protection and security in the market,
but by integrating the most accurate fuel gauge that operates at the lowest IQ
in the market.” As previously stated;
Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. recently announced that, it is familiar with an
integrated circuit that, is used for power management. Specifically, the aforementioned business
revealed that, it has launched two battery protector power management
integrated circuits. Technically, the
names are; the MAX17301, and, the MAX17311.
Additionally, both are one cell fuel gauges. Lastly; when buying 1,000 or more, the manufacturer’s
suggested retail price for both, starts at $1.14 USD.
