Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. Launches Two; One Cell Fuel Gauge Battery Protectors

(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 previous and coincidentally, is also, a reference to the power management integrated circuit unit.  On the actual 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 be able 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 solutions 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 way of saying that, an electrical device has numerous types of internal voltages, along with, different types of external power sources.  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 that have to be met, in order, to have successful device operations.  Additionally; 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 previous; 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. 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.
