Description

The CS2516 is designed for use in battery powered medical, security, or environmental systems where prior notification of impending power source failure is a requirement. The IC effectively provides continuous monitoring of battery condition by pulsesampling the system voltage at predetermined intervals. Low standby current permits unswitched connection to the battery with minimal impact on operating life. The ability to load the battery during the test pulse provides assurance that sufficient reserve capacity exists to operate critical system components.
