STMicroelectronics Introduces STC3100 Battery-Monitor IC
The STC3100 Battery-Monitoring IC increased accuracy for ‘fuel-gauge’ style indicators showing the operating time remaining. The device will improve the user experience for owners of products such as mobile handsets, portable navigation devices, digital cameras and personal media players. The STC3100 battery-monitor IC can be located in the battery pack or in the handheld device, and integrates functions to monitor the battery voltage, current and temperature. It has a built-in Coulomb counter to calculate battery charge, and stores the data at 16-bit resolution for retrieval by the system controller…
